New Delhi: The government on Thursday said that out of the cumulative target of 4.14 crore houses allotted to the states/UTs, 3.86 crore houses have been sanctioned and 2.92 crore houses have been completed (as on December 9, 2025). The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) is one of the flagship programmes of the government which aims to achieve the objective ‘Housing for All’ by providing 4.95 crore pucca houses with basic amenities by convergence with other schemes to all houseless households and households living in kutcha and dilapidated houses in rural areas by 2029.
The initial target under the scheme was to provide assistance in the construction of 2.95 crore houses by March, 2024. The Union Cabinet approved the extension of the scheme on August 9, 2024 to construct additional 2 crore rural houses during FY 2024-25 to FY 2028-29 to meet the arising need of housing due to increase in number of families in rural areas, according to the Ministry of Rural Development.
