401 Families Realize Their Dream Home with Rajiv Swagruha Flats in Hyderabad
The dream of owning a home came true for 401 families in Hyderabad as they secured flats under the ambitious Rajiv Swagruha Corporation’s housing initiative. This major milestone, achieved in the Pocharam and Bandlaguda regions, highlights the government’s commitment to providing affordable housing for its citizens.
Affordable Housing, Transparent Process
What sets the latest Swagruha allotment apart is its transparency and affordability. Flats were sold below market value on a no-profit-no-loss basis, making them highly accessible to the middle-income segment. The entire process—from opening applications on July 4 after a formal government notification to conducting allotments by lottery—was designed to ensure fairness.
Pocharam: Most flats here had only one applicant, making direct allotments possible. However, a few units saw intense competition; for instance, one 3BHK reportedly had 69 hopeful contenders.
Bandlaguda: Applicants who didn’t win in this location were given a second chance in Pocharam through a separate lottery, helping maximize opportunities for all.
More Flats on the Horizon
The housing scheme’s flexibility is another highlight. After public demand, the application deadline for 1BHK and 2BHK flats was extended to August 8. These will now be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis, giving even more families a shot at affordable homeownership.
For those seeking larger or different units, the story isn’t over yet. Open auctions for unsold flats in city outskirts begin on August 4, with 20 flats up in Kurmalguda, 69 in Bahadurpally, and 100 in Thorrur on the following days. Notably, all auctioned flats are spacious, with areas above 200 square feet.
Positive Impact
The initiative has boosted the Rajiv Swagruha Corporation’s finances too, with around Rs 78 crore earned so far—proof that affordable housing and fiscal responsibility can go hand-in-hand.
Looking Ahead
With a successful first phase, Hyderabad continues to demonstrate how inclusive policies can reshape urban living. For many, the keys to these new homes symbolize not just shelter, but hope and a brighter future for their families.
For those still in search, plenty of opportunities remain as the next rounds of allotment and auction get underway, making it an exciting time for aspiring homeowners in Hyderabad.
