In line with the Government of India’s vision of providing “Housing for All,” the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is actively implementing the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). Launched in 2015, PMAY is a flagship scheme that aims to make housing more affordable and sustainable for the urban poor. As part of this initiative, the Konkan Board is playing a crucial role in constructing Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Low-Income Group (LIG) tenements in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

The Konkan Board is spearheading the construction of several EWS and LIG housing projects across the Thane district under the PMAY scheme. These projects are located in key areas such as Shirdhon, Khoni, Bhandarli, Gotheghar, and Virar. Collectively, these projects will deliver a total of 15,959 EWS and 13,841 LIG tenements, catering to the housing needs of a large section of the urban population.
