Easy finance is the key to the success of affordable housing in India
The Pradhan Matri Awas Yojana (PMAY), launched in 2015, was a promise to provide every Indian family a roof over its head before 2022, the 75th year of Indian Independence. Since then, we have been through the worst pandemic that the world has seen. But despite two waves of the pandemic, organised players are confident of steady business for the next few years and buyers are still queuing up.
Affordable housing is a sector that has been streamlined by finance. Today, of 1.1 crore houses that the government had aimed to complete, government statistics show that 1.13 crore houses have been sanctioned and 50.18 lakh houses have already been constructed. This is an all-time high for a five-to-seven-year period.
