Telangana launches Indiramma LIG housing scheme

The Telangana government launched the Indiramma LIG Housing Scheme for the Core Urban Region (CURE) on Monday, July 20, 2026, opening a major initiative to provide affordable homes for low-income families in Hyderabad. Applications for the first phase will be accepted from July 21 through August 10.

Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy announced that the scheme aims to construct one lakh houses within the CURE limits, which encompass areas inside the city's Outer Ring Road. The initial phase will be a pilot project covering 16 Assembly constituencies, with 500 flats to be built in each. Each flat will have a built-up area of 528 square feet.

To apply, eligible individuals must submit their applications through Mee Seva centres, a dedicated WhatsApp number, or an official web portal, accompanied by a 100 rupee application fee and a refundable token deposit of 10,000 rupees. The government has set strict eligibility criteria: applicants must have been residents within the CURE area for the last 10 years, and neither the applicant nor their family can own a house, flat, or plot within the same region. Only one application per family is permitted.
