Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for the government’s Indiramma Housing towers, comprising affordable flats, in the Hyderabad (CURE) region on Thursday. Kukatpally has been selected as the venue for the ceremony. Housing and Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said 8,000 flats would be constructed within a year and handed over to beneficiaries by Bonalu next year.
Nearly 90 acres of government land have so far been identified for the housing towers. Around 50,000 applications have been received so far for 7,340 flats across 16 Assembly constituencies. Beneficiaries will be selected through a draw of lots. In Kukatpally, four 10-storey towers will be constructed, each comprising 120 flats, with 12 flats on every floor.
Five acres have been identified for the project, which is estimated to cost ₹43.20 crore. Each flat will have a built-up area of 528 sq ft and comprise a bedroom, hall and kitchen. Srinivas Reddy said the towers would be constructed on government land, with 20-25 square yards of land to be registered in the name of each beneficiary.
He said the government plans to construct one lakh houses a year and provide housing to the poor in Hyderabad in phases, rather than as a one-time scheme.
