The standing committee of the Pune Municipal Corporation gave the green signal to build houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) scheme.
The houses under the PMAY scheme will be built on grazing land in areas such as Balewadi, Kondhwa and Baner.
The civic body has built such projects in other parts of the city too and around 2,900 flats for economically weaker sections were available under this scheme.
These projects have been carried out under ‘affordable housing in partnership’, where the buyers have to pay 10% of the housing cost to buy the property.
