- GHMC launches the Indiramma Housing Scheme to build G+3 floor houses for slum dwellers in Telangana.
- Use of GIS survey and consultancy firms for effective slum redevelopment and planning.
- Funding supported by Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana 6 Urban (PMAY-U) with tender processes ongoing.
Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has launched the Indiramma Housing Scheme to uplift families living in urban slums across Telangana. Backed by the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U), this initiative focuses on constructing modern multi-storey homes tailored for economically weaker sections. With advanced planning, government support, and modern infrastructure, the scheme promises better living conditions for thousands of urban families.
Multi-Storey Housing: A New Step for Slum Dwellers
Under the Indiramma Housing Scheme, GHMC is building multi-storey houses with ground plus three floors (G+3) in selected slum areas. This new plan aims to save space and provide good housing for slum dwellers, making their living conditions better. With vertical building, more families can get homes without expanding the city outward.
GIS Survey and Consultancy for Effective Redevelopment
GHMC is using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to map slum locations accurately. Five key areas including Saraladevi Nagar (Madannapet), Pilligudiselu (Saidabad), and Ambedkar Nagar (Maredpally) have been surveyed using this technology. Also, consultancy firms have been invited to prepare detailed project reports, layout plans, and home designs following the Indiramma model. These experts also help with cost estimates and suggest redevelopment plans to make the projects possible and helpful.
Funding and Collaboration Under PMAY(U)
The housing projects get strong financial support from the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana 6 Urban (PMAY-U), the central government’s main affordable housing scheme. The Telangana State Government works with them by providing the remaining required funds. This teamwork makes sure the scheme has enough money and is complete. Once surveys and designs are ready, detailed proposals go to the central government for approval to start building multi-storey homes.
Solutions for Residents Without Land Ownership
A big challenge GHMC deals with is housing for people who do not own land. Out of 10.71 lakh applicants for Indiramma houses in Hyderabad, about 90% do not own land. To include these people, GHMC plans to build multi-storey houses right on government land within current slums. This lets residents stay in their communities while moving into better homes safely and legally.
Tender Process and Consultancy Service Timeline
GHMC has officially invited bids for consultancy services that will oversee the project and help throughout the PMAY scheme. Selected agencies will work on a one-year contract to keep things running smoothly and with quality control. Important dates include a pre-bid meeting on 8th July 2025, and the deadline for bidding on 18th July 2025. These dates are important for firms interested in joining the redevelopment work.
