Mumbai, June 13, 2025: The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY 2.0), under its Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS), continues to inspire families by turning the dream of homeownership into reality. At a media gathering held today, hosted jointly by the National Housing Bank (NHB) and Aadhar Housing Finance Limited (AHFL), leaders highlighted the transformative impact of the PMAY initiative and shared stories of families who have recently received housing subsidies.
Out of the 1st set of the interest subsidy which is granted to 1,735 customers, three families from Mumbai MMR have been felicitated by the MD of NHB and MD & CEO of AHFL. Each of these customers have received a total subsidy of Rs. 1.80 lacs which is to be disbursed in tranches, of which the 1st tranche of Rs. 36,000 has been handed over today. Deepak Gupta, a vegetable trader and his wife Sonali Gupta, who runs a tailoring business from home, have been living in a rented house in Virar West. With assistance under PMAY , they are now on the path to owning their first home. Similarly, in Palghar, Gorakhnath Tiwari, an assistant college teacher and his wife Neelu, who offers home tuitions, have taken a significant step toward securing a permanent residence. Another inspiring story comes from Dipak Shelar, a facility attendant, and his wife Sarita, a pensioner, who are now investing in a home of their own thanks to the support received under the scheme.
Speaking at the gathering, Mr. Sanjay Shukla, MD of NHB, said, “Homeownership is one of the most powerful tools of financial and social empowerment. We are not only offering financial assistance through PMAY but also enabling stability and dignity for women and families in India’s underserved segments.”
Mr. Rishi Anand, MD & CEO of Aadhar Housing Finance Limited, added, “At Aadhar Housing Finance, we believe that a home is more than just a structure—it’s the foundation of a better future. The 1st tranche of subsidy reaffirms our commitment to empowering low-income families, through accessible housing finance under PMAY 2.0. With support from the National Housing Bank, we’re proud to play a pivotal role in turning the dream of homeownership into a reality for thousands across India.”
