Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is an apex authority of the Government of India responsible for formulating policies, sponsoring and supporting programs, coordinating activities across Central Ministries, State Governments, and other nodal agencies, and monitoring initiatives related to urban employment, poverty alleviation, and housing.
Originally established in 1952 as the Ministry of Works, Housing, and Supply, it has undergone several organisational and nomenclatural changes. On 6 July 2017, it was officially restructured as the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in its present form. The ministry is committed to fostering equitable, inclusive, and sustainable urban growth, ensuring affordable housing, productive employment opportunities, and improved quality of life for all urban residents. MoHUA has been instrumental in initiating and overseeing several transformative projects to enhance urban infrastructure and livability in India, including the Smart Cities Mission and the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT).
The Urban Transport (UT) division within MoHUA is the nodal agency for coordination, appraisal, and approval of urban transport policies and projects. It also facilitates innovative financing mechanisms in the transport sector, supports institutional and individual capacity-building under the Sustainable Urban Transport Project (SUTP), and funds various traffic and transportation studies under the Scheme for Urban Transport Planning, enabling cities to better plan and manage their transport systems.
