The Telangana state government late on Monday extended the application deadline for the Indiramma housing scheme in Hyderabad by five days, moving the final date to August 15.

Under the overall initiative, the government plans to construct one lakh houses within the Outer Ring Road limits of Hyderabad, covering all Assembly constituencies in the area.

Minister Reddy directed housing department officials to make all necessary arrangements to receive applications during the extended period. He instructed officials to ensure the five-day extension does not cause delays in subsequent stages, including scrutiny, eligibility verification, allotment, and the lottery process. The minister requested that the entire house allotment process be completed by the end of August, assuring applicants that allotments will be made transparently and impartially based on eligibility criteria.
