housing shortage in urban areas is around
10 million units.
It quotes that as of July 2019, 8.36 million
houses have been sanctioned under the
‘Housing for All by 2022’ initiative.
Construction for 4.9 million units has begun
and 2.6 million units of which have been
completed. Given the past trend, an
additional 1.64 million houses are likely to be

highly possible to achieve the target of 10
million houses by 2022.
