Maharashtra mandates beneficiary linkage for PMAY (Urban) 2.0 projects with higher EWS prices

The revised norms, issued on January 23, follow a review of detailed project reports (DPRs) submitted under PMAY (Urban) 2.0, which revealed inconsistencies in EWS pricing, built-up area calculations and documentation across projects. Based on directions issued by the State Level Appraisal Committee (SLAC) during its meetings held in August and October 2025, the state government decided to issue standardised guidelines to bring uniformity to project approvals.
