Nagpur Gets 910 Affordable Homes as ₹673 Crore Housing and Rail Projects Begin

NAGPUR | July 13, 2026: Nagpur has received a major housing and infrastructure boost with the launch of two affordable housing projects offering 910 homes as part of a broader ₹673 crore development package announced in Maharashtra.

The projects were inaugurated by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, alongside multiple railway infrastructure developments aimed at improving urban connectivity and road safety.

 

910 Affordable Homes Planned in Nagpur

The housing component includes two residential projects at Mouza Nari with a combined investment of ₹188.77 crore.

The projects will deliver:

  • 392 apartments under the Maharshi Sudarshan Balmiki Vasahat project for sanitation workers.
  • 518 affordable homes under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) 2.0 for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) beneficiaries.

Together, the two projects will create 910 new affordable homes.

 

PMAY-U 2.0 Project Receives Strong Response

The Swapnapurti housing project will include:

  • 308 two-bedroom apartments
  • 210 one-bedroom apartments

Authorities said eligible beneficiaries will receive a combined subsidy of ₹2.5 lakh per home from the Central and Maharashtra governments.

According to officials, 1,919 applications have already been received for the 518 available homes, and allotment will be conducted through a computerized lottery.

 

 

Dedicated Housing for Sanitation Workers

The Maharshi Sudarshan Balmiki Vasahat project will provide permanent housing exclusively for sanitation workers.

The development will include:

  • Community hall
  • Internal roads
  • Gardens
  • Solar power system
  • Sewage treatment facilities
  • Other essential civic amenities

Officials said the project is planned under the Transferable Development Rights (TDR) model and is targeted for completion within three years.

 

Railway Infrastructure Projects Also Inaugurated

Alongside the housing projects, authorities inaugurated nine railway infrastructure projects across Maharashtra worth approximately ₹484 crore.

The works include:

  • Road overbridges (ROBs)
  • Road underbridges (RUBs)
  • Railway subways

The projects are intended to reduce congestion, improve connectivity and move towards eliminating unmanned railway crossings.

 

 

Why This Matters

The latest projects combine affordable housing with transport infrastructure, supporting both residential development and urban mobility.

For homebuyers and EWS families in Nagpur, the new projects are expected to increase affordable housing availability while improved transport infrastructure could enhance connectivity across the city.
