JJM Tap Water Coverage Rises To 15.75 Billion Rural Homes

03 Dec 2025 CW Team

The Government of India, in partnership with State Governments, continues to implement the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) – Har Ghar Jal to ensure tap water supply for every rural household in the country. Year-wise and State/UT-wise details of funds allocated, released and utilised during 2024–25 have been provided separately.

At the launch of JJM, the Central Government approved a central outlay equivalent to Rs 2.086 trillion, as part of the overall Rs 3.6 trillion mission outlay. This central allocation has been almost fully utilised by 2024–25. Given the progress achieved and ongoing works, the Finance Minister announced an extension of the Mission until December 2028 with a higher overall outlay, as reflected in the 2025–26 Budget. A proposal for the Mission’s continuation up to December 2028 is currently under consideration.

At the beginning of the Mission, only 32.3 million rural households—about 16.7 per cent—had tap water connections. By 2023–24, States and Union Territories had provided tap water to more than 113.8 million rural households. In 2024–25, an additional 9.441 million households were connected, followed by 1.831 million households in 2025–26 (up to 27 November 2025).

Consequently, as of 27 November 2025, out of 193.6 million rural households nationwide, around 157.5 million households—representing 81.34 per cent coverage—now have access to household tap water supply.

State and Union Territory-wise figures for targeted households, remaining households and tap water connections provided up to 2023–24, in 2024–25, and in 2025–26 (up to 27 November 2025) are provided in Annex-II.

The information was provided by the Minister of State for Jal Shakti, Shri V. Somanna, in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
