Centre approves 2 lakh rural houses for Telangana under PMAY-G

Union Minister of Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy on Friday announced that the Centre has approved construction of two lakh houses in Telangana under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) during the financial year 2026-27.

Describing it as a significant step towards providing dignified housing to rural families, Mr. Reddy said the allocation was made under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as part of the Centre’s commitment to the “Housing for All” mission.

In a statement, the Union Minister said Telangana could not benefit from the PMAY-G scheme for several years because the previous BRS government, led by former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, had not participated in the PMAY-G Awas Survey conducted in 2018. As a result, the State was left without a list of eligible beneficiaries required for implementation of the scheme, he claimed.
