The Government of Maharashtra has approved the release of ₹8.91 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban for affordable housing projects under the Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP) component, specifically earmarked for the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category.
The decision was issued through a Government Resolution dated March 12, 2026, by the state’s Housing Department. The funds will be disbursed through the SNA-SPARSH digital platform, which is used for the transfer of funds under the PMAY-Urban scheme.
Breakdown of Central and State Funding
The total sanctioned amount of ₹8.91 crore includes contributions from both the central and state governments:
- ₹5.34 crore – Central Government share
- ₹3.56 crore – Maharashtra State share
The funding forms part of the larger mother sanction of ₹269.65 crore approved by the Union Government for projects under the AHP component (SLS Code – MH 676) of the PMAY-Urban programme.
Implementation Through MHADA
The projects will be implemented under the supervision of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority, which has been designated as the state-level nodal agency for the scheme.
The Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) for the funds will be the Finance Controller of MHADA, ensuring that the funds are allocated to implementing agencies for the specified projects.
Authorities have also directed all implementing agencies to complete SLS component mapping and the e-signature process on the SNAP portal before receiving funds under the scheme.

The funding will support several affordable housing projects across Maharashtra, including cities such as:
- Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
- Nagpur
- Pimpri-Chinchwad
- Pune

These projects largely focus on Economically Weaker Section (EWS) housing units, with some developments also including Lower Income Group (LIG) units.

Focus on Tribal Housing Component
The funding released in this phase specifically targets the Scheduled Tribe (ST) component of PMAY-Urban, ensuring that tribal beneficiaries receive support under affordable housing initiatives.
Officials have directed implementing agencies to ensure that the funds are used strictly for the purpose for which they have been sanctioned, following financial guidelines issued by the state Finance Department.
Strengthening Affordable Housing Supply
The Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP) model encourages collaboration between government agencies, housing boards, and private developers to build housing for economically weaker sections.
With the latest funding release, the state government aims to accelerate construction of affordable homes across urban areas and improve access to housing for low-income families.
