Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced the extension of Urban Housing Scheme for next year. So, there is a possibility of big announcements for the projects which are stuck and stalled.

The funds from SWAMIH are expected to be allocated to the stalled projects after COVID-19.

Again, it is expected that there will be relaxation in the rules and qualifications for SWAMIH funds which will be easy to complete the projects that have been halted.

At present, the government's contribution to 'Special Window for Funding Stalled Affordable and Middle-Income Housing Projects' (SWAMIH) is Rs. 10,000 crore. It is expected to be increased in the Union Budget 2022.

In the previous budget, the main focus of the government was on health and rural infrastructure development. This year, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has raised concerns amid the economic recovery in the economy.
