Telangana government extends deadline to apply for affordable flats in Hyderabad (CURE) till August 15
The Telangana government has extended the application deadline for affordable 'Indiramma Houses' in Hyderabad to August 15 due to high demand and public holidays. Over 46,000 applications have been received for the 7,680 available flats.
Why it matters
The high volume of applications highlights the significant demand for affordable urban housing in rapidly growing Indian metropolitan areas.
The deadline to apply for Telangana government’s Indiramma Houses (affordable flats) in 16 Assembly constituencies in Hyderabad (CURE) limits is extended by five days. While the earlier deadline was August 10, 2026, it is now extended to August 15, 2026.
Housing and Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy earlier said that the deadline would not be extended. However, considering the series of holidays from Sunday to Monday, the deadline is extended, he said late on Monday, August 10, 2026. Officials were directed to complete allotment of the houses by the end of the month.
Despite the holidays, the State Housing Board received nearly 11,000 applications on Sunday and Monday. While 35,125 people applied for 7,340 flats till Saturday (August 8, 2026) evening, it shot to 46,121 by Monday evening.
The Minister said that despite extension of the deadline, there should be no delays in scrutiny of applications and other processes.
