In a significant move to provide quality housing for lower-income families, the Telangana Housing Board has announced the sale of over 300 one-bedroom flats across three key locations in the state. This initiative is specifically targeted at the Lower Income Group (LIG), offering them a rare opportunity to own homes in well-developed, gated communities at prices below the prevailing market rates.
Prime Locations and Transparent Lottery System
Vice Chairman V P Gautam confirmed that a total of 339 flats are available in Hyderabad, Khammam, and Warangal. The flats are situated in established residential complexes where many families are already residing, ensuring ready infrastructure and community living.
The allocation will be conducted through a transparent lottery system to ensure fairness. The lottery for the coveted Gachibowli flats is scheduled for January 6, followed by Warangal on January 8, and Khammam on January 10.
Officials have earmarked these homes exclusively for individuals with an annual income not exceeding Rs 6 lakh (Rs 50,000 per month), strictly adhering to the LIG category norms.
Flat Distribution and Pricing Details
The housing board has provided a clear breakdown of the available inventory and price range for prospective buyers.
- Gachibowli, Hyderabad: 111 flats are on offer in this prime IT corridor. The apartment sizes range from 450 to 650 square feet, with prices between Rs 26 lakh and Rs 36.20 lakh.
- Warangal (near Railway Station): 102 flats are available here. The pricing in this city is set between Rs 19 lakh and Rs 21.5 lakh.
- Sriram Hills, Khammam: This location has the largest chunk with 126 flats. It also offers the most affordable entry point, with prices starting from just Rs 11.25 lakh.
All prices are significantly lower than the current open market rates for similar properties in these high-demand areas, making this a highly attractive proposition for eligible applicants.
How to Apply and Key Takeaways
Interested and eligible buyers can submit their applications through two channels: online via the official housing board website or by visiting designated service centres. The board has urged applicants to act promptly to meet the deadlines preceding the lottery draws.
This initiative underscores the state government's focus on inclusive urban development. By offering homes in developed enclaves like Gachibowli, the scheme prevents the economic segregation often seen in affordable housing projects and provides LIG families access to superior social infrastructure and connectivity.
