## ANSWER MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) to (d): 'Land' and 'Colonisation' are State subjects. Therefore, schemes related to housing, water, sanitation and other basic amenities for their citizens  are  implemented  by  States/Union  Territories  (UTs)  in  their respective  areas.  However,  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs (MoHUA)  supplements  the  efforts  of  States/UTs  to  provide  transport, sanitation, water and housing in urban areas of the country including in Tier-II  and  Tier-III  cities  through  various  Missions,  such  as  Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) & PMAY-U 2.0, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) & AMRUT  2.0, Swachh  Bharat  Mission  -  Urban  (SBM-U)  &  SBM-U  2.0  and  PM  e-Bus Sewa.

MoHUA has been implementing PMAY-U since 25.06.2015 with an aim to  provide  all  weather  pucca  houses  with  basic  civic  amenities  to eligible urban beneficiaries across the country. The scheme period has been extended up to 31.12.2025 to complete sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. Based on  the  learnings  from  the  experiences  of  implementation  of  PMAY-U, MoHUA has revamped the scheme and launched PMAY-U 2.0 'Housing for All' Mission with effect from 01.09.2024 for implementation in urban areas across the country to support 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries including slum dwellers in next five years. PMAY-U 2.0 has dedicated  a  Affordable  Rental  Housing  (ARH)  vertical.  The  scheme guidelines can be accessed at https://pmayurban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/Operational-Guidelines-of-PMAY-U-2.pdf .

Based  on  the  project  proposal  submitted  by  States/UTs,  a  total  of 122.06 lakh houses, including 10.43 lakh under PMAY-U 2.0, have been sanctioned  under  the  schemes  by  the  Ministry,  so  far.  Out  of  which, 113.85 lakh houses have been grounded and 96.02 lakh are completed/delivered  to  the  beneficiaries  across  the  country  as  on 24.11.2025. The State/UT-wise number of houses sanctioned, completed and occupied under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 are at Annexure.

As per the Scheme Guidelines of PMAY-U 2.0, the scheme is monitored at all three levels: City, State and Central Government. CSMC monitors project  formulation  and  project  implementation  including  stage-wise progress of houses and financial progress amongst others. States/UTs and  Cities  have  to  develop  suitable  mechanisms  for  effective  and efficient  monitoring  of  the  progress  of  Mission  at  various  levels.  The Ministry conducts regular review meetings with States/UTs to monitor the  progress  of  the  scheme  to  ensure  the  completion  of  houses  and occupancy within the stipulated timeframe.

The  SBM-U  benefits  entire  cities  and  is  implemented  across  4,910 Urban  Local  Bodies  (ULBs).  Funds  are  provided  to  States/UTs  for constructing Community/Public Toilets (CT/PTs) and Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs). CTs and IHHLs primarily serve underprivileged households, while PTs cater to the general public and floating population.

Under SBM-U 2.0, Central funds are released based on State/UT action plans approved by State Level Technical Committees and then passed on to ULBs. Funds are allocated for the full mission period, not annually. The  total  financial  outlay  for  SBMU  2.0  is  ₹1,41,600  crore,  including ₹ 36,465 crore as committed Central Assistance. By October 2019, all ULBs in 35 States/UTs were declared ODF  following the construction of …3/-

63.81 lakh IHHLs (108% of target) and 6.36 lakh CT/PT seats (125% of target). Progress is regularly monitored through continuous interaction with State/UT officials, weekly expenditure reviews, and field visits by Central teams.

Under AMRUT scheme, State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) amounting to ₹77,640  crore  including  committed  Central  Assistance  of  ₹36,035.79 crore have been approved for projects in all States/UTs for the entire Mission  Period.  So  far,  Central  Assistance  amounting  to  ₹34,900.97 crore  has  been  released  to  States/UTs  for  AMRUT  projects  for  water supply, sewerage & septage management, storm water drainage, green spaces & parks and non-motorized urban transport.

AMRUT  2.0  is  launched  in  the  year  2021  in  all  Urban  Local  Bodies (ULBs)/  cities,  enabling  the  cities  to  become  'self-reliant'  and  'water secure'. Providing universal coverage of sewerage and septage management in 500 AMRUT cities is one of the major focus areas of AMRUT  2.0.  Under  the  Mission,  States/  Union  Territories  (UTs)  are empowered  to  select  appraise,  appraise,  prioritise  and  implement projects.  Against  total  allocated  Central  share  of  ₹66,750  Cr.  for projects  under  AMRUT 2.0,  ₹66013.77 Cr.  have  been  approved  so  far. The  approved  projects  include  3,516  water  supply  projects  worth ₹ 1,18,226.61 crore and 588 Sewerage & Septage Management projects worth ₹67,840.59 crore.

Urban Transport is an integral part of Urban Development, which is a State Subject. As such, initiatives for reducing pollution, steps taken for reducing the increasing traffic congestion on the road are taken by the respective cities/States/UTs. MoHUA, being the central line Ministry for urban  transport  matters,  have  notified  various  guiding  documents  to help  cities/ULBs/States/UTs.  Apart  from  policy  initiatives,  at  present about  1,083  kms  of  Metro  Rail  Network  (including  55  km  of  RRTS)  is operational  in  25  cities  of  the  country.  Also,  PM-eBus  Sewa  Scheme was  launched  on  16 th   August  2023  with  an  aim  to  augment  bus operations  in  urban  areas  with  deployment  of  10,000  electric  buses under the PPP model. So far, out of the 10,000 buses, this Ministry has sanctioned 9,360 buses under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme.

An evaluation study of all Central urban schemes including PMAY-U has been conducted by NITI Ayog in year 2021. Evaluation of CLSS vertical of  PMAY-U  has  been  carried  out  by  Quality  Council  of  India  (QCI)  in 2024.
