AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN INDIAUrbanisation and Housing Shortage in India.
As per 2011 census, the country had a population of 1,210.98 million, out of which, 377.10 million (31.16%) lived in urban areas.
During 2001-2011, the urban population
of India grew at a CAGR of 2.8%, resulting
in the increase in level of urbanisation from
27.81% to 31.16%.
This growing concentration of people in urban areas has led to problems of land shortage, housing shortfall and congested transit and has also severely stressed the existing basic amenities such as water, power and open spaces of the towns and cities.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN INDIA According to the 2011 census, the housing stock in urban India
stood at 78.48 million for 78.86 million urban households.
Urbanisation has resulted in people increasingly living in slums and
squatter settlements and has deteriorated the housing conditions of
the economically weaker sections of the society.
According to estimates of the Technical Group constituted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA), the urban housing shortage in the country at the end of the 10th Five-Year Plan was estimated to be 24.71 million for 66.30 million households.
The group further estimated that 88% of this shortage pertains to houses for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and another 11% for Lower-Income Groups (LIG).For Middle- and High-Income Groups (MIG and HIG), the estimated shortage is only 0.04 million.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN INDIAAffordable Housing Defined:
There is no clear-cut definition of the term ‘affordable’, as it is a relative concept and could have several implied meanings in different contexts.
According to the RICS Report on Making Urban Housing Work in India, affordability in the context of urban housing means provision of ‘adequate shelter’ on a sustained basis, ensuring security of tenure within the means of the common urban household.
According to the Task Force on Affordable Housing set up by
the MHUPA in 2008, affordable housing for various segments is
defined by size of the dwelling and housing affordability derived by
the household income of the population

ISSUES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OFAFFORDABLE HOUSING
Developing affordable housing in Indian cities faces significant
challenges due to several economic, regulatory and urban issues.
Excessive Control on Development of Land Creates Artificial
Shortage.
Lack of Marketable Land Parcels.
Titling Issues and Lack of Information.
Rising Threshold Costs of Construction.
Lack of Access to Home Finance for Low-Income Groups.
ISSUES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OFAFFORDABLE HOUSINGRegulatory Constraints
Lengthy Approval and Land Use Conversion Process
The process of real estate development is particularly affected by
the efficiency of urban local bodies, which undertake city planning,
deliver utility services and regulate controls on development through
approvals.
India is ranked 177 out of 183 countries with respect to dealing with construction permits2, which indicates the challenge developers face in India in development of real estate.
Lack of Clarity in Building Bylaws and Guidelines.
Continuation of Archaic Laws

MAJOR HUBS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
Location of Projects and Their Distance from City Centre
Mumbai and NCR have affordable housing projects located 65–75 km away from the city centre. On the other hand, Ahmedabad and Kolkata provide better proximity, with projects located at a distance of 15–20 km from the city centre.
Bangalore, Pune and Chennai also have projects after a distance of 25–30 km from the city centre.
Major Developers in the Segment
Amongst the developers, Tata Housing (Shubh Griha) and VBHC are
entirely focused on low-income affordable housing and have already
launched multiple projects across cities.

CONCLUSION
Historically, housing for the poor and the economically weaker sections of the society ( EWS) has been provided by the government under various welfare schemes.
Nevertheless, this is insufficient compared to the existing shortage in the segment," says report on urbanization and housing shortage in India by Jones Lang LaSalle India.
The main reasons for rise in shortage in affordable housing on the supply side is lack of availability of urban land, rising construction costs and regulatory issues while lack of access to home finance for low income groups are constraints on the demand side.
