Rajasthan News: In a significant push to democratize homeownership in the state, the Rajasthan government would soon be rolling out a fresh wave of residential schemes across multiple cities. The scheme would be targeting potential homebuyers from all income groups.
Spearheaded by the Rajasthan Housing Board (RHB), the residential scheme aligns with the state’s budget vision in 2026-27 of expanding urban housing access beyond saturated metros and into tier-2 and tier-3 growth centres.
Rajasthan News-What’s Special?
The proposed residential schemes could over the peripheral zones of Rajasthan such as Indira Gandhi Nagar, Chomu and Phagi, along with districts like Bikaner, Nagaur, Tonk, Alwar, Karauli, Sawai Madhopur, Kotputli, Pali and Bhilwara.

Expanding Beyond Jaipur: A Strategic Shift
For decades, Jaipur has primarily dominated the residential narrative of Rajasthan, with micro-markets such as Jagatpura, Vaishali Nagar and Ajmer Road attracting both end-users and investors. The new policy direction suggests a conscious decentralization strategy. The Housing Board’s renewed focus on these zones indicates confidence in their future integration into the city’s mainstream real estate grid.
At the same time, cities like Bikaner, Nagaur and Bhilwara are being repositioned as independent housing destinations rather than satellite spillovers. This marks a structural shift from metro-centric development to distributed urbanization.
Affordable Housing Meets Aspirational Demand
One of the standout features of the upcoming residential schemes is their multi-income segmentation is the inclusion of EWS, LIG, MIG and HIG categories so that all income groups get fair representation while a wide demographic base is catered.
This is especially prevalent in the state where rising land prices have been pushing a significant majority of first-time homebuyers to explore peripheral or alternative cities. Government-backed schemes, with their pricing advantage and regulatory assurance, often become the entry point for such buyers.
Alwar and Kotputli would benefit greatly from proximity to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and NCR spillover demand. Connectivity projects, water supply systems and urban amenities will play a critical role in determining whether these locations evolve into liveable neighbourhoods or remain speculative investments.
