The Punjab Urban Planning & Development Authority (PUDA) has been continuously working toward creating well-planned and affordable urban spaces across Punjab. One of its most recent initiatives is the PUDA Housing Scheme for State Government and PSU Employees (2024), which offers 1-bedroom flats with a covered area of around 600 sq. ft. under the “Scheme for PUDA and Other Authorities.” This initiative aims to make housing affordable and accessible for government employees and the general public.
Additionally, PUDA is promoting its Land Pooling Scheme, inviting landowners to contribute land for urban development in exchange for developed plots. The authority also conducts regular e-auctions for residential, commercial, and institutional plots to ensure transparency and fair distribution of properties. These schemes reflect PUDA’s commitment to creating modern, sustainable, and citizen-friendly urban settlements throughout the state.
