New Delhi [India], August 11 (ANI): The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) organised a National Conference on Affordable Housing Reforms - "Reimagining Affordable Housing: From Scheme to Sustainable Ecosystem" on Tuesday at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. The proceedings began with a welcome address and briefing on housing reforms by Kuldip Narayan, Joint Secretary & Mission Director (JS&MD), Housing for All (HFA), MoHUA. Addressing the audience, Rajiv Gauba emphasised the need for land and planning reforms to expand affordable housing at scale. He suggested considering waiving land-use change fees for land dedicated to affordable housing and exempting affordable housing units from stamp duty to improve project viability and affordability. Affordable housing requires a supportive ecosystem where land, planning regulations, financing mechanisms, rental markets and institutional arrangements collectively enable the continuous creation of affordable housing.
