Model Lighthouse Housing Projects

The six Lighthouse Housing Projects (LHPs) promoted by the Union Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) are playing a crucial role in mainstreaming cutting-edge housing technologies. Being built as part of the Global Housing Technology Challenge initiative under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-Urban), LHPs are model housing projects built using alternate technologies suitable to the geo-climatic and hazardous conditions of the region.

MoHUA is promoting 6 LHPs as live laboratories for transfer of technology to the field, with an aim to encourage large-scale participation of people to create technical awareness for on-site learning. These will demonstrate and deliver ready-eco-live houses with speed (12-month construction time), economy, and better quality of construction in a sustainable manner. They will be fully supported by onsite infrastructure, including internal roads, pathways, common green areas, water supply, sewerage, drainage, rainwater harvesting, and solar lighting. These modern eco-friendly houses are designed as per the National Building Code 2016 and in conjunction with centrally sponsored schemes like Smart Cities Mission, AMRUT, Swachh Bharat Urban, National Urban Livelihood Mission, and Ujjawala.
