The Centre has also received additional assessment demand of constructing 12 lakh more houses. Under the Urban division of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), 24 lakh houses have so far been handed over to beneficiaries and the number will soon reach 50 lakh.
There are 48 lakh houses which are currently grounded, but this number will also rise to 75 lakh. As many as 50 command and control centres are expected to be ready by December 2019.
