Government of India is implementing a flagship programme (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Mission) for providing houses to all eligible urban beneficiaries by year 2022. Against a validated demand of 10 million housing requirement in the country, 3.7 million have been grounded for construction and around 1.5 million have been completed and allotted to the beneficiaries.

Government of India is keen to bring in a paradigm shift in technology for large scale construction by obtaining the best available global construction technologies with optimum use of resources and environment friendly practices. Therefore "Global Housing Technology Challenge-India (GHTC- India) was launched on 14 January 2019 with three components:
