The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) has set a goal for Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) to construct 12,500 residential units by the end of this year. On Wednesday, IMC identified several projects that are now six months to two years behind schedule.

The Satpura Parisar in Budhaniya is around two years behind schedule, while IMC's Tapti Parisar in Rangwasa, a project to build residential units under PMAY, is about a year behind schedule. According to reports, the main cause of the delay was the lockdown that followed the Covid-19 outbreak. Both projects still need to be finished in around a year, according to official sources.

On Wednesday, Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava visited Tapti Parisar to assess the project's advancement. Under the affordable housing programme, he had approved $1 billion in the IMC 2023–24 budget, with a goal of constructing 12,224 residential units by the end of this year.

According to him, a total of 6,676 units have been built and are being distributed to the qualified beneficiaries.

The mayor stated that & the occupants are experiencing inconvenience due to some under- construction work" that includes the installation of water pipelines, sewage lines, electricity connections, and the construction of a sewage treatment plant (STP) in Tapti Parisar. He added that the concerned officials had been given instructions to relocate the occupants and finish the ongoing work within the next six months.

Mahesh Sharma, the IMC's supervising engineer, stated that "a total of 4000 1BHK and 2BHK flats are being constructed in the apartments, which also have provisions for lift and fire safety equipment.
