Our Bureau

Mumbai, March 19 The Maharashtra Government plans to provide 10 lakh houses for the lower and middle-income groups under various schemes in the next two years.

About 2.50 lakh houses each will be built under the Indira Awas Yojana, the Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Niwara Prakalp and the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission.

About 1.5 lakh houses will come from the Slum Rehabilitation Authority and one lakh from the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority.

The State Finance Minister, Mr Jayant Patil, told the Assembly that the programme was for slum dwellers and below poverty line families, besides the low and middle level income groups.

Resources from existing schemes of the Central Government and the State would be pooled in for the housing project.

The State would also levy a 25 per cent premium on developers undertaking Slum Rehabilitation Authority Schemes and grant additional floor space index for MHADA colonies, he said.
