The Maharashtra government on Tuesday unveiled a new housing policy — My Home, My Right. Under the policy, which was announced after a gap of 18 years, the state plans to have 35 lakh housing stock in the next five years. The state cabinet, led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Tuesday gave its approval for the new housing policy draft 2025.

As per the statement issued by the chief minister's office (CMO), the new policy promises environmentally friendly, secure and sustainable homes for citizens, especially for the economically weaker section (EWS) and low- and middle-income groups (LIG and MIG). It includes a comprehensive programme ranging from slum rehabilitation to redevelopment, besides focusing on low-income groups and affordability.
