 SYNOPSIS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
ARCHITECTURAL THESIS

INTRODUCTION

 The strained urban infrastructure, in particular housing,

has provided an opportunity for the real estate
developers in India to fill the urban rural gap and
provide housing for all in the coming decade.
 In this context, it would be important to address the
need in the EWS (economically weaker sections) and LIG
(lower income groups), which currently account for
95.6% percent of urban housing shortage in the country.
 Amid the growth of urbanization, the housing shortage
in India has touched 18.78 million units. One reason for
this is that most builders are catering only to the middle
income and affluent population in India and home prices
have gone beyond the reach of many.

AIM
Affordable housing refers to housing units that are
affordable by that section of society whose income is
below the median household income.
AFFORDABLE HOUSES

Affordable Houses Dwelling Units (DUs) with Carpet Area

shall be between 21 to 27 Sqm for Economically Weaker
Section (EWS) category, 28 to 40 Sqm for Lower Income
Group (LIG) category (LIG- A: 28-40 Sqm and LIG-B 41- 60
Sqm) and 41 to 60 sqm for Middle Income Group (MIG)

 AFFORDABLE HOUSING VS LOW COST HOUSING

Affordable housing cuts across LIG and MIG income segments

of the society make good economic sense. The typical size
varies from 300 sq. ft. - 800 sq. ft. Low-cost housing, on the
other hand, is less expensive than average or than what one
can afford. Low-cost housing in general could be defined as
housing meant for EWS category. Typical area is less than 300
sq. ft per unit.

INCOME LEVELS AND HOUSING AFFORDABILITY CATEGORY

 Income level Size of dwelling unit Provision of Basic

Amenities Affordability Location of the House EWS Less
than Rs. 1.5 lakh per annum Up to 300 sq ft -Sanitation,
adequate water supply and power - Provision of
community spaces and amenities such as parks,
schools, healthcare facilities EMI to Monthly income: 30
to 40 percent Reasonable maintenance costs -located
within 20km of major workplace hub in the city -
adequately connected to major public transport system
LIG-A, B 1.5 lakh and 3 lakh per annum 300 sq ft to 600
sq ft MIG 3 lakh and 10 lakh per annum 600 sq ft to
1200 sq ft.

CRITICAL ISSUES IN THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SECTOR

 Land costs are too high in the urban areas and often
constitute more than 50% of the project for the
developer, which makes affordable housing projects
unviable
 Construction costs also form a major portion of the
project cost and the profit margins for developers is very
 less in the affordable segment as compared to luxury
projects
 People who belong to LIG and EWS segments have little
access to organized finance
 Requirement for focused government policies that
enable and incentivize the affordable housing segment
such that it becomes more lucrative for developers to
build affordable housing projects
