Andhra Pradesh Launches Three Lakh Rural Houses, Pilots 3D Printing
Andhra Pradesh has started a programme to build three lakh homes for rural families.
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan took part in the launch.
One home in Burripalem will be built using a machine that prints concrete.
The reports disagree about how many homes will be included in the pilot: one says 117 and the other says 177.
Officials say a home made this way can be built in 10 days.
They expect the pilot to be finished in six months.
Naidu said the central government would provide more housing allocations after the current one.
He said the state aims to provide housing for everyone by 2029.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched construction of three lakh homes under PMAY-G 2.0.
The ceremony took place in Burripalem village, Guntur district, where a beneficiary home will use 3D concrete printing.
The articles differ on the pilot’s scale: one reports 117 homes in Burripalem and Obulanaidupalem, while the other reports 177 homes in Burripalem and Obulanayudupalem.
Officials said a 3D-printed house could be built in 10 days; the pilot is expected to be completed in six months.
Naidu said the Centre had agreed to provide two further allocations of three lakh homes, potentially bringing Andhra Pradesh’s total allocation to nine lakh.
