In the first year of implementing the ‘housing for all’ programme, formulated under the Centre’s Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), the government has approved 43 projects for implementation that can yield 1,15,297 tenements for the economically weaker sections and lower income groups. A majority of these are to come up in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, where the shortage of affordable housing is the most acute and the Bahratiya Janata Party (BJP)-led state government promised to create 11 lakh low-cost tenements. These are spread across various villages of Virar, Kalyan and Thane.
