To expedite work under PMAY, state allows MahaHousing to join ventures

To expedite the construction of houses under the ambitious Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), the state government has added the name of Maharashtra Housing Development Corporation (MahaHousing) to the existing list of government bodies with whom joint ventures can be carried out for completion of the housing projects. The state government had formed MahaHousing with a primary objective of constructing five lakh affordable houses across the state by 2022. Earlier, in September, the state government had given its nod for a JV with Mhada and private landowners.
