Details of Indiramma Housing Scheme
In a statement, Revenue and Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said that 4.5 lakh houses were sanctioned in the first phase of the Indiramma housing scheme. In the second phase, the government aims to construct another 2.5 lakh houses. "For the current financial year, administrative sanctions have been issued for a total of 3.5 lakh Indiramma houses, including one lakh houses under the CURP (City-level Urban Renewal Programme) and another 2.5 lakh houses in other parts of the state," Ponguleti said.
The central government provides only Rs 72,000 per housing unit in rural areas and Rs 1.50 lakh in urban areas for a limited number of beneficiaries. In contrast, the Telangana government is extending financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh to each beneficiary. "The government has decided to extend financial assistance for the completion of houses sanctioned up to 2013 in Telangana region of the undivided state under the Indiramma scheme but left incomplete due to various reasons," he added.

Keeping in view the prevailing heatwave conditions, the CM has directed officials to commence the programme at 8:30 am.
