Telangana is advancing its Indiramma housing programme with over 1.12 lakh homes expected to be completed and handed over by the end of March, and an additional one lakh units projected for completion by June. The first phase had sanctioned 4.5 lakh houses across the state, including 12,000 units for tribal communities under ITDA areas. The government plans a second phase in April and will fund incomplete houses from the previous administration. Local committees chaired by Sarpanchs will identify beneficiaries, ensuring transparent allocation. GHMC and other towns have designated sites for construction, with an estimated INR 22,500 crore expenditure.
Telangana Housing Minister P. Srinivas Reddy informed the Legislative Assembly that over 1.12 lakh houses under the Indiramma housing scheme will be handed over to beneficiaries by the end of March, with housewarming ceremonies planned to mark the occasion. Another one lakh homes are expected to be completed by June under the guidance of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. Advertisement
In the first phase of the programme, 4.5 lakh houses were sanctioned statewide, including 12,000 specifically for the Chenchu community and other tribal groups under the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) areas. Construction is progressing steadily to meet these targets.
Reddy stated that the second phase of Indiramma houses will be sanctioned in April, aiming to support more eligible families awaiting assistance. Funding will also be provided for houses started during the previous BRS administration but left incomplete, pending Cabinet approval.
The selection of beneficiaries will be overseen by village-level Indiramma Housing Committees chaired by Sarpanchs. Once committees identify eligible poor families, proposals will be reviewed by district Collectors and approved by the minister in charge of the district, maintaining transparency and fairness in allocation. Plans are under consideration to include MLA representation in these committees in the future.
Within the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation limits, 14-15 sites have been earmarked for housing construction, and this model will extend to other major towns in Telangana. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the government is allocating around INR 22,500 crore for the construction of 4.5 lakh houses, with roughly 3,500 homes per constituency. He also refuted opposition claims suggesting any reduction in funding for the Indiramma scheme.
The government's objective remains to ensure that every eligible poor family in Telangana receives a house. Constituency-wise meetings were held to receive applications, and allocations are being executed transparently, reflecting a structured and inclusive approach.
