Andhra gets 3 lakh PMAY houses, 3D pilot launched
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday, 4 October 2026, launched construction for 3 lakh houses under PMAY-Gramin 2.0 at Burripalem in Guntur district. The state aims for 100 per cent housing by 2029. A pilot project for 3D concrete-printed houses, taken up with CBRI, was also launched in Burripalem and Obulnaidupalem.
Of the 3 lakh sanctioned houses, 75,000 had already received approval, 2.25 lakh were newly sanctioned. m9.news reports Naidu criticised the previous government over housing programme location and construction. The Hans India adds that Naidu alleged 6 lakh houses were cancelled between 2019 and 2024, and that nearly 4 lakh beneficiaries returned sites allotted in unsuitable locations.
The Hans India reports Chouhan agreed to sanction another 3 lakh houses after the current batch, and an additional 3 lakh houses in 2027, totalling 9 lakh. The 3D pilot will initially cover 117 houses, after successful completion, 5,000 houses will be built with the same technology.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report the housing launch, but m9.news leads with the technology angle and uses the headline ‘3L Houses and 3D Homes’ while thehansindia.com leads with the 2029 deadline. m9.news gives Naidu’s criticism of the previous government in a single sentence, while thehansindia.com dedicates three paragraphs to detailing the alleged mismanagement, including specific figures on cancellations and returned sites. Thehansindia.com also reports the future commitment of 9 lakh houses and the 3D technology temperature benefit, which m9.news omits. The coverage is not uniform: thehansindia.com provides fuller official account details, while m9.news is more selective, focusing on the launch event and Naidu’s personal remarks. The balanced reading is that both present the same core event but differ in the level of policy detail and criticism they foreground.
