The assessed demand reported by States/ UTs is around 112 lakhs. Based on the project proposals received so far from the States/ UTs under the Scheme, a total 110 lakh houses have been sanctioned; out of this, 71.4 lakh are at various stages of construction and 41.8 lakh have been completed/ delivered.

The Scheme is well poised to achieve the vision of ‘Housing for All’ by 2022.
