The Telangana government has pushed back the application cut‑off for Indiramma affordable flats in Hyderabad's CURE zone from August 10 to August 15. Over 35,000 applicants now have five more days to secure a unit in the 7,680‑flat project.

Key Takeaways

  • Application deadline moved to August 15
  • 7,680 flats planned; 7,340 already requested
  • ₹5 Lakh subsidy per flat; ₹6 Lakh payable in four installments

The Telangana government announced on Monday evening that the last date to apply for its Indiramma affordable‑housing scheme in Hyderabad’s Core Urban Region (CURE) has been extended to August 15, 2026. The original deadline of August 10 was shifted to give prospective buyers additional time to submit their applications.

Under the first phase, the state aims to construct 7,680 flats across 16 assembly constituencies, offering a ₹5 Lakh subsidy per unit. Beneficiaries must pay ₹6 Lakh in four installments. Each flat measures 528 sq ft built‑up, with a 400 sq ft carpet area. Due to restrictions in the Secunderabad Cantonment constituency, the total number of flats there will be under 480.

As of August 8, the State Housing Board reported receiving 35,125 applications for 7,340 available flats. Applicants can submit their forms via MeeSeva centres, the official website, or the dedicated WhatsApp number (8096958096).

Historical Background

The Indiramma scheme was launched in 2015 to address the acute housing shortage in Telangana’s urban centers. The flagship goal is to deliver 100,000 homes in the Core Urban Region, targeting low‑ and middle‑income families. Over the years, the program has undergone several deadline extensions and revisions, reflecting the state’s commitment to affordable housing.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that extending the deadline boosts participation from low‑income groups and aligns with Telangana’s broader urban‑housing agenda, potentially reducing the city’s housing deficit by 7%.

"Providing affordable housing is a cornerstone for economic stability and social inclusion," said urban development expert Dr. Rajiv Kumar.
Did You Know?: More than 60% of the flats allocated in the first phase of Indiramma are registered in the names of women, promoting gender equity in home ownership.
