The Union Cabinet has approved the continuation of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY-G) scheme during FY 2024-25 to 2028-29 for the construction of 2 crore additional houses in the new phase of the scheme. At the national level, out of the total target of 1.22 crore houses allocated to States, 97.48 lakh houses have been sanctioned under this new phase.
Since FY 2024-25, a total central share of ₹49,407.96 crore has been released to States under PMAY-G. The total utilization stands at ₹88,426.76 crore, which includes State Governments' matching share as per the PMAY-G guidelines.
The State Governments and UT Administrations serve as the primary implementing authorities at the ground level. According to state reports, major reasons for delays in completion include cases of beneficiary unwillingness, permanent migration, disputed succession of deceased beneficiaries, delay in allotment of land to landless beneficiaries, General/Assembly/Panchayat elections, unavailability of building materials, and delay in release of funds from State Treasury to State Nodal Account of PMAY-G.
The Ministry of Rural Development regularly reviews progress reported by States/UTs and addresses these implementation issues for timely resolution. This information was provided by the Minister of State for Rural Development, Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, in a written reply in Lok Sabha.
