Aadhar Housing Finance Committed to Make Homeownership Accessible to Communities in Kochi & Trivandrum under PMAY

Hans India14-06-2025
Aadhar Housing Finance Ltd., India's leading low-income housing finance provider, has announced the launch of Phase II of its Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0) awareness camp, with a sharp focus on making homeownership more accessible to underserved communities of Kerala. Building on the success of its previous efforts, the company will conduct PMAY Utsav and Spot Sanction Camps from 12 – 15 June 2025 making the PMAY process simple, transparent, and accessible for first-time homebuyers in Kochi & Trivandrum
The camp will help in checking eligibility, understand the documents required, expected benefits—including subsidies of up to ₹1.80 lakh and get faster loan approvals—bringing the families one step closer to owning their dream home. Additionally, eligible applicants will receive spot home loan sanction letters at these camps upon document verification.
Aadhar Housing Finance is committed to helping first-time homebuyers from low-income backgrounds realising their dream of owning a home. With affordable loan options typically ranging between ₹10–13 lakhs, most customers fall well within the eligibility criteria for the PMAY subsidy. The recent revival of the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) makes home loans even more affordable by lowering EMIs. This is especially helpful in smaller towns and emerging cities where cost of housing is lower, and government subsidies play a bigger role in purchase decisions. By making repayments easier and faster, Aadhar aims to ensure a smooth and secure path to homeownership for EWS and LIG families.
Rishi Anand, MD & CEO, Aadhar Housing Finance Ltd. said, 'At Aadhar Housing Finance, our mission has always been to make homeownership a reality for India's underserved families. With the Government's renewed push for affordable housing and the revival of the PMAY interest subsidy scheme, we see a powerful opportunity to extend that dream to even more first-time homebuyers. Through our spot sanction camps, especially in emerging markets, we aim to simplify access, raise awareness, and fast-track the journey toward owning a dream home.'
Aadhar Housing Finance currently serves nearly 3 lakh live customers across 545 districts and 580+ branches in 22 states and union territories. With nearly 74% of its portfolio dedicated to home loans and a strong presence in emerging markets, Aadhar is well-positioned to expand access to affordable housing finance where it's needed most. This initiative directly supports the Government of India's 'Housing for All' vision and is aligned with the National Housing Bank's (NHB) inclusion goals. PMAY Awareness Campaign by Aadhar is a key part of the company's broader mission to contribute towards Viksit Bharat.

HNI, NRI demand drives 85% growth in luxury housing sales in H1 2025

Luxury housing sales grew 85 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to over 7,000 units across India's top seven cities in the January to June period of 2025 (H1 2025), driven by rising demand from high net worth individuals (HNIs), according to a joint report by CBRE and Assocham. The rise was also fuelled by demand from non-resident Indians (NRIs) who are seeking asset stability in times of global uncertainty. Among cities, Delhi NCR led the luxury market, contributing around 57 per cent of total sales, with approximately 4,000 units, followed by Mumbai at 1,240 units. Furthermore, traditionally mid-end dominated markets such as Chennai and Pune cumulatively recorded around 5 per cent of the overall luxury sales during H1 2025. Commenting on the reasons, Gaurav Kumar, managing director, Capital Markets and Land at CBRE India, said that while macroeconomic fundamentals remain strong, the standout growth of luxury and premium housing indicates rising consumer confidence and lifestyle aspirations. 'Developer focus has realigned towards quality, transparency, and experience, all of which are key to unlocking the sector's next wave of growth,' he added. Industry experts expect the market to continue performing similarly in the second half of the year. The report adds that rapid urbanisation, a favourable demographic dividend, urban migration trends, and rising disposable household income will drive steady sales in the residential market. 'Improving market sentiment, shifting consumer preferences driven by greater exposure to world-class developments, and a renewed willingness among homebuyers to invest in property, the coming months could very well pave the way for sustained growth, heightened activity, and fresh opportunities across the housing market,' said Jash Panchamia, executive director at Jaypee Infratech. The report also stated the need for reforms in streamlining approvals, improving project execution, and bolstering buyer confidence. This includes expanding Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) benefits and interest subvention schemes for first-time buyers, along with ensuring uniform implementation of RERA and stricter penalties for non-compliance. Manish Singhal, Secretary General, Assocham, added that the housing boom, coupled with policy evolution, highlights the need for reforms that ease approvals, redefine affordable housing in urban India, and incentivise sustainable development.
