Hyderabad, July 2026: The Telangana government has introduced a new urban housing initiative under the Indiramma Housing Scheme for Low-Income Group (LIG) families living in the Core Urban Region Economy (CURE) area of Hyderabad. The scheme aims to provide affordable high-rise housing to eligible low-income families residing within the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road (ORR) region.
The initiative is being implemented under the supervision of the Telangana Housing Department and Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy. The larger housing programme proposes the development of 1 lakh LIG flats, with the first phase covering 7,680 flats across 16 Assembly Constituencies.
