PMAY-Urban, PM Modi Ji’s visionary mission to provide Housing For All by 2022 is taking concrete shape & transforming lives. PM @narendramodi Ji reviewed the Lighthouse projects across the country via drones. Work is in progress on 6 lighthouse projects.

The Lighthouse projects which use cutting edge innovative construction technologies to speed up large construction projects while being more resilient were launched by PM on 1 Jan 2021 to use new technologies to complete housing projects faster than traditional methods.

The project in Indore will use a prefabricated Sandwich Panel system instead of walls made of brick & mortar.

The disaster resilient lighthouse in Rajkot will be built using French technology which will have monolithic concrete construction technology using tunnels.

The Canadian technology being used in Lucknow will not require plaster & paint. It will use pre-prepared walls to build the houses faster.

Chennai will use a Precast Concrete system from US & Finland, which will help in faster & economic construction of homes.

Houses in Ranchi will be built using 3D construction system from Germany. Much like Lego Blocks, different components will be built separately & then put together.

Agartala project uses steel frames based technology from New Zealand which can withstand major earthquake risk.
