Centre to suspend new PMAY (Urban) projects for a year

The Union Ministry for Housing and Urban affairs is unlikely to sanction any more homes under the affordable housing scheme Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) for the next one year as focuses on completing sanctioned projects.

The shift in focus comes as only 6.1 million PMAY houses have been completed out of the total 12.2 million that have been sanctioned. Work on around 10 million houses has been started. The figure includes the 6 million completed homes.

“Our emphasis right now is to complete those houses … sanctioning is not enough. The houses are either being constructed by the beneficiaries, or urban bodies, or the state government. They need to start and complete as soon as possible," Livemint cited an unnamed official as saying.

The report said that for at least the next one year, the Centre will be fully focussed on talking to all the states and ensuring that all the homes that have been sanctioned are completed. “There is not one state which can say ‘I have grounded all the houses that you gave’. They still have to start the houses which we sanctioned," another official said.
