The Telangana government has allowed the Telangana Housing Board to build a special housing scheme for auto-rickshaw workers in Hyderabad.
The scheme is called Auto Nagar Colony.
It will have 2,000 flats for people in the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).
These are households with low incomes, who need help to buy or rent a home.
The flats will be built at four locations in the CURE area. The government has asked the Board to go ahead with the plan.
Key points
- The Telangana government has approved 2,000 affordable flats in Hyderabad.
- The scheme is only for auto-rickshaw workers.
- The indicative project cost is 220 crore rupees.
- Detailed project reports will come after land and site checks.
Who can get these flats?
The flats will follow the same rules as Indiramma Indlu–Towers, another state housing scheme.
This includes the guidelines, eligibility criteria and financial help.
The main difference is one condition. Only auto-rickshaw workers can be beneficiaries.
What happens next for the project?
The Housing Board must first check whether the land is available.
It will also check if the sites are suitable and technically possible to build on.
Only after these checks will the Board submit detailed project reports and financial proposals.
