## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

(a) & (b):    The  Building  Materials  and  Technology  Promotion  Council (BMTPC)  under  the  aegis  of  the  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs (MoHUA),  has  been  authorized  to  operate  the  Performance  Appraisal Certification Scheme  (PACS)  at national level for certification of innovative building materials, components, products, units, elements of construction and assemblies, systems and sub-systems giving independent opinion of the fitness of their intended use in the form of

Performance  Appraisal Certificates  (PACs).  Under  Technology  SubMission (TSM) set up within the ambit of the overarching Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) {PMAY(U)}, the BMTPC is identifying, evaluating and certifying  innovative  technologies  for  mass  housing  projects  to  build faster, cost effective, quality houses through PACS. The BMTPC has so far identified  and  evaluated  24  emerging  construction  systems  for  mass housing. A list of the same is enclosed at Annexure-I.

The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) has come out with Schedule of Rates (SoRs) for these construction systems for adoption by the masses and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has already included these innovative construction systems in the recently published National Building Code 2016. A Technology Park has also been set up in the campus of the Hindustan Prefab Ltd. (HPL) at Jangpura, New Delhi to showcase these technologies through prototypes.

(c) & (d): For  facilitating  adoption  of  modern,  innovative  and  green building  materials  and  technologies  for  rapid  construction  of  quality houses,  the  MoHUA  through  the  BMTPC  is  constructing  Demonstration Housing Projects (DHPs) using these technologies in different parts of the country.  The  BMTPC  has  so  far  constructed  demonstration  houses  at Nellore, Andhra Pradesh and Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Three other projects at Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Bihar Sharif (Bihar) and Hyderabad (Telangana)  using  innovative  technologies  are  under  progress.  Various Government  Departments  and  State  Governments  are  adopting  these innovative technologies for construction of their mass housing projects.

Nearly 8.69 lakh houses are under construction in various States using emerging  technologies.  A  State-wise  list  of  the  same  is  enclosed  at Annexure-II.
