Housing Minister Ch. Sri Ranganadha Raju has said that the houses being constructed under the Navaratnalu – Pedalandariki Illu (NPI) scheme will not only fulfil the dream of the poor to own a house but also contribute to the countrys long-term commitment of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Andhra Pradesh is keen on contributing to Indias commitment of reaching net-zero emissions by 2070 by implementing Energy Efficiency measures in the countrys biggest housing programme in the State. This will also benefit the beneficiaries in the form of reduction in power bills.
The government had sanctioned 15.6 lakh houses under the PMAY-YSR Urban Scheme and PMAY-YSR Gramin Scheme in the first phase and targeted to complete them by June 2022. He said the construction of 10.72 lakh houses in 10,055 layouts had already commenced.
