MP Housing Board's Proposal To Increase Redevelopment Home Size By Up To 60% Stuck For 1.5 Years As Nearly 1,200 Families Await Relief

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): More than 1,200 families residing in old Madhya Pradesh Housing Board colonies in Bhopal continue to await larger homes as the Board's proposal to revise its redevelopment policy has remained pending with the state government for over 1.5 years.

The proposed amendment seeks to increase the permissible size of replacement houses by up to 60% under redevelopment projects, allowing beneficiaries to upgrade to Low Income Group (LIG) and Middle Income Group (MIG) category flats by paying the additional cost as per government norms.

Although the Housing Board submitted the proposal over 18 months ago, it is yet to receive approval, delaying its implementation in upcoming redevelopment projects.
