ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS
(SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)
(a) to (e): ‘Land’ and ‘Colonisation’ are State subjects. Therefore, schemes related to housing for their citizens including slum dwellers are implemented by States/Union Territories (UTs) in their respective areas. However, Government of India launched Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) in December 2005 for assisting States/Union Territories (UTs) by extending Central Assistance for providing houses and related civic amenities to slum dwellers across the country including Delhi. The period of JnNURM was upto March 2012. However, to complete the on-going projects sanctioned upto 31.03.2012, the period was extended, and funds were released upto March 2017. A total of 52,344 houses were sanctioned under 14 projects under JnNURM during 2007-2012, out of which 35,744 have been completed and 4,871 were allotted to the beneficiaries and remaining houses are in different stages of construction. GNCTD has been advised to repair/retrofit and complete the remaining under construction houses of JnNURM in Delhi from its own resources and make them liveable/habitable for the allotment under PMAY-U 2.0 or eligible slum dwellers as per Delhi JJ clusters R&R policy. Unoccupied JnNURM houses in Delhi are in various projects in Bawana, Baprola, Bhorgarh, Sultanpuri, Bhalsswa, Savda Ghera, Dwarka etc.
Further, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has been implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban (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 through four verticals i.e. Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), In-Situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR) and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS). The scheme period has been extended up to 31.12.2025 to complete sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. In Delhi, 28,449 beneficiaries have availed the benefit under CLSS component of PMAY-U. Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) did not submit any proposal under remaining three verticals of PMAY-U. During last five years, ₹144.15 cr, ₹46.85 cr and ₹66.52 cr were released for 6,271, 1807 and 2,669 houses for CLSS beneficiaries of PMAY-U respectively in F.Y. 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 for beneficiaries of Delhi.
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 in next five years. PMAY-U 2.0 is implemented through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), Affordable Rental Housing (ARH) and Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS). Under PMAYU 2.0 Govt. of NCT has signed the MoA with MoHUA for implementation of the scheme and GNCTD is in the process of submission of proposal to MoHUA.
