Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Housing Program

under implementation

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a federal government program launched on June 25, 2015, aimed at expanding access to affordable housing for low- and middle-income households in India, including through credit-linked subsidies. The program includes priority categories such as transgender people, widows, single women, people with disabilities, and senior citizens. Implementation responsibility lies with state and regional governments, which identify and select beneficiaries. Since inception, over 12.2 million homes have been sanctioned nationwide, with over 9.6 million completed and delivered. However, transgender beneficiaries have been virtually absent in some regions, such as Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
