Maharashtra Launches New Housing Policy Aimed at Affordable Living
Maharashtra is starting a new plan called 'My House, My Right' to help everyone get a place to live and get rid of slums.
They want to build lots of houses – 35 lakh in the next five years, and even more in the next ten years.
The government will check how many houses are needed in the state.
The plan will help people with low incomes, seniors, and workers, and includes things like easier approvals and tax breaks.
They are also making a website with all the information.
Maharashtra's new housing policy, 'My House, My Right,' aims to provide affordable housing for all and eliminate slums.
The policy targets the construction of 35 lakh houses in five years and 50 lakh houses over ten years.
A statewide survey by 2026 will assess housing needs, forming the basis for future policy.
The policy includes incentives such as single-window clearance, reduced taxes, and land reservation for housing.
The State Housing Information Portal (SHIP) will provide information on housing development.
