The Haryana government has approved housing projects for 2,646 beneficiaries across 60 urban local bodies under PMAY-U 2.0, targeting EWS, LIG and MIG segments. The scheme continues to see strong demand, with over 1.69 lakh registrations recorded. Financial assistance of INR 2.5 lakh per beneficiary will be provided under the beneficiary-led construction model. The state has also reviewed earlier approvals, fund releases and progress on geo-tagging. Alongside new sanctions, capacity-building plans and monitoring systems have been strengthened to improve execution, quality control and timely delivery of houses.
The Haryana government has cleared affordable housing projects for 2,646 beneficiaries across 60 urban local bodies under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U) 2.0. The decision was taken at a meeting of the state-level sanctioning and monitoring committee chaired by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, focusing on expanding housing access in urban areas.

The scheme is designed to support families from economically weaker sections (EWS), lower-income groups (LIG) and middle-income groups (MIG) in building or owning pucca houses. Officials indicated that demand for the scheme has remained steady, with a large number of urban households registering for financial support.
As per official data, around 1,69,483 applications have been submitted on the central portal. Of these, 97,584 fall under the beneficiary-led construction (BLC) vertical, while 71,899 are under the affordable housing in partnership (AHP) category. After verification, 46,902 BLC applications have been assessed, with 17,465 accepted and 29,437 rejected. Around 12,552 houses have been geo-tagged so far, which is a key step required for fund disbursement and tracking construction progress.
In the current round of approvals, projects for 2,409 beneficiaries from 51 urban local bodies were sanctioned. An additional 237 beneficiaries from nine urban areas were also included, taking the total number of approved beneficiaries to 2,646. This reflects a wider spread of the scheme across different urban centres in the state.
Under the BLC vertical, each eligible beneficiary will receive financial assistance of INR 2.5 lakh, which includes INR 1.5 lakh from the central government and INR 1 lakh from the state government. The assistance is meant for constructing durable houses with a carpet area generally ranging between 30 square metres and 45 square metres.
The review also covered progress made in earlier approvals. Housing projects for 17,430 beneficiaries had already been cleared in previous stages. The central government has released INR 1,304.40 lakh as the first instalment for 2,174 houses, indicating movement in fund flow and execution on the ground.
To improve implementation, the state has approved capacity-building plans for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27. These include setting up technical support systems at the state and city levels, strengthening monitoring mechanisms, introducing third-party quality checks, and conducting training programmes and social audits. The planned investment for these initiatives stands at INR 704.45 lakh for FY 2025-26 and INR 772.85 lakh for FY 2026-27, with cost sharing between the centre and the state.
The PMAY-U scheme, launched earlier to address urban housing shortages, continues to focus on providing financial support and structured execution to ensure that eligible families can build safe and permanent homes.
