New Delhi, Feb. 1 -- I am highly encouraged by the Budget's focus on expanding affordable housing. The announcement that 40,000 units of housing will be completed in 2025-26 under the Special Window for Affordable and Mid-income Housing (SWAMIH) scheme is a commendable step. This initiative will provide much-needed relief to families who have taken loans to buy apartments but are still paying rents for other dwellings. These measures will significantly contribute to the overall growth and development of our cities.
