Panel III: Affordable housing – taking stock
Reports from the ground suggest that affordable housing (priced at less Rs 25 lakhs) has proven to be uneconomical and most of the action, so far, has remain centered around ‘economic housing’ targeting middle-class population that couldn’t afford houses in big urban centers. While ‘economic housing’ segement is getting crowded, ‘affordable housing’ still remains on the periphery. Should ‘economic housing’ get govt's attention? What more is needed to give a meaningful push to affordable housing?
