The state government has cleared the construction of 17,912 houses under the central Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana‑Urban 2.0 scheme.
The Andhra Pradesh government has given formal sanction for the development of 17,912 residential units under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana‑Urban 2.0 (PMAY‑Urban 2.0) programme. The approval covers the allocation of central and state funds to construct affordable housing for urban low‑income families across the state.
PMAY‑Urban 2.0, a flagship initiative of the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, aims to provide safe and dignified homes to millions of urban poor by 2025. Andhra Pradesh, a consistent high‑performer in the scheme, has already completed several phases and now seeks to expand its inventory with this latest tranche.
State officials said the sanctioned houses will be built on land identified by municipal authorities and will adhere to the scheme’s specifications for size, quality and amenities. Beneficiaries will be selected through the existing transparent allocation process, with priority given to economically weaker sections and low‑income groups.
The move is expected to boost local construction activity, generate employment and contribute to the broader goal of reducing urban homelessness in the state.
