The Maharashtra government has recently formalised the Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025, titled My House, My Right, with a vision to ensure affordable and adequate housing for all citizens. (Picture for representational purposes only)(Pixabay) The policy outlines key goals, such as redeveloping old buildings, rehabilitating slum dwellers, and revitalising stalled real estate and slum redevelopment projects through public-private partnerships. A significant initiative under the policy is the creation of a dedicated land bank for residential use by 2026, aimed at streamlining housing development across the state. In a notable move to promote senior living housing, the government has introduced a game-changing incentive, a dramatic reduction in stamp duty to a flat rate of just ₹1,000. This is expected to make retirement housing more accessible and attract greater private sector participation in the segment. The Maharashtra government's cabinet approved the new Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025 in May 2025; however, on July 23, the Maharashtra Housing Department issued a Government Resolution (GR) on the policy, which is considered to be one step further towards its implementation in the state. Here are five things to know about the Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025. 1) Investment of ₹ 70,000 crore expected under the Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025 The government expects an investment of ₹70,000 crore during the policy's implementation. Its target is to generate an affordable housing stock of 35 lakh units by 2030. Under the new policy, the government aims to create a land bank for residential use by 2026. This initiative will be implemented in coordination with the Revenue Department, Forest Department, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation, Water Resources Department, and the Industries Department, among others. 2) Revival of stalled projects The Maharashtra government's 2025 housing policy includes targeted measures to revive stalled real estate and slum redevelopment projects, particularly using a cluster redevelopment model for greater efficiency and scale.

The move aims to make retirement homes more affordable and accelerate development in this underserved segment. Also Read: Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025 offers major benefits for senior living buyers; Stamp duty reduced to flat ₹1,000 4) Push for self-redevelopment of old buildings The Maharashtra government has strongly pushed self-redevelopment in its newly approved housing policy. To support the initiative, the state has allocated ₹2,000 crore and proposed the formation of a dedicated cell to assist cooperative housing societies. This cell will provide end-to-end support, including guidance on planning, funding, developer selection, and project execution, empowering societies to undertake redevelopment independently. According to data from CREDAI-MCHI, the apex body of real estate developers, over 25,000 buildings across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) are eligible for redevelopment, with an estimated project value of more than ₹30,000 crore. 5) Affordable housing survey As part of its Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025, the Maharashtra government has proposed a housing demand survey across all districts to assess the current requirements. The government noted that post-COVID-19, housing needs and consumption patterns have changed drastically, making it essential to update the policy framework. Also Read: Maharashtra Housing Policy 2025: Statewide survey proposed to assess housing demand in post-COVID-19 era According to the policy, a detailed housing need survey and analysis will be carried out across all state districts and is targeted for completion by 2026. This will enable a district-wise understanding of housing demand.

As Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour draws to a close, Blue Ivy emerges as a star
Isabella Kerr, 15, has admired Beyoncé for years, but said she attended the Cowboy Carter tour specifically to experience Blue Ivy's moves in person read more 'Who they came to see?' Beyoncé asks as she performs her 2023 single 'My House' during the Cowboy Carter tour. For many, the answer has been Blue Ivy. Blue Ivy Carter, the Grammy-winning artist's 13-year-old daughter, is more present than ever on stage, and fans are impressed by the growth from her first performance years ago to now. Isabella Kerr, 15, has admired Beyoncé for years, but said she attended the Cowboy Carter tour specifically to experience Blue Ivy's moves in person. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'People are saying, 'Oh, she's a mini Beyoncé,' but no, I think she's the first Blue. Everything about her when she's on stage is electrifying,' said Kerr. The Cowboy Carter tour concludes Saturday in Las Vegas. The tour's 30 previous shows have had fans buzzing that Blue Ivy is well on her way to being a next generation powerhouse. Blue first graced the stage at 11 years old during her mother's 2023 Renaissance tour, appearing during the legacy-celebrating anthems 'My Power' and 'Black Parade.' Supporters anticipated her performance at each stop. She performed again during 'Beyoncé Bowl,' the NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show that was just nominated for four Emmy Awards. She danced alongside the icon as she performed songs from the 'Cowboy Carter' album for the first time. 'Even the difference between the Renaissance Tour and now, you can tell she's really grown in her confidence,' said fan and artist Olivia Ellis. 'You can tell she has a different vibe about her.' On the Cowboy Carter tour, she can almost be mistaken for one of Beyoncé's professional dancers. She is on stage for nearly every song and has a solo recreating her mother's choreography from her 2006 'Déjà-vu' music video, a nod to the undeniable similarities between the two. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Online videos of Blue display professionalism comparable to her mother's during the Cowboy Carter tour. During a rainy New Jersey stop, she brought out towels to dry her area of the stage before nailing her 'America Has a Problem' choreography. In another unexpected moment during a Chicago show, her earring got caught on Beyoncé's hair. Blue remained calm, removed the jewelry and motioned to the singer that it was safe in her hand as they both seamlessly continued. 'It's the family business,' said Kinitra D. Brooks, an academic and author of 'The Lemonade Reader,' a collection that explores the nuances of Beyoncé's 2016 visual album, 'Lemonade.' 'She is literally studying under the best person doing it out there today. Why wouldn't she take advantage of that opportunity?' In 'Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,' fans were given a behind-the-scenes look at the decision-making process the first time Blue was allowed to perform. Beyoncé expressed how nervous she was about her child being in front of thousands of people made her, revealing she initially said no. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I did not think it was an appropriate place for an 11-year-old on a stadium stage,' she said in the documentary. 'I made a deal with her, and I said, 'If you practice and you show your commitment, I'll let you do one show.'' Blue Ivy fulfilled her end of the deal, and a fan base was formed: the 'Ivy League.' Kerr says Blue's accomplishments inspire her to work harder to achieve her own dreams. 'She worked to be on stage, and look at her now. If I work to what I want to be, I can be killing it like her.' At last month's Cowboy Carter Paris stop, members of the Beyhive and Ivy League finally got what they had been asking for — Blue Ivy merchandise. Shirts with the teen's face and the phrase 'Déjà Blue' plastered on the front were available for purchase. Prior to that, fans were creating their own custom pieces that highlighted Blue and Beyoncé's connection. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD At the MetLife Stadium show, Ellis wore a custom corset top she painted, showcasing Blue Ivy and her 8-year-old sister, Rumi Carter, on stage with Beyoncé during 'Protector,' a track from the 'Cowboy Carter' album that Rumi is featured on. 'I thought that would just be a really fun moment to highlight on a corset,' she said. 'It's just really cool to see her as a mom because we've all grown up with Beyoncé, and now it's like her show is kind of like a family affair.' Blue Ivy's confidence and professionalism are not only a testament to her hard work, but Beyoncé's motherhood. Mother-daughter duos around the globe filled stadium seats, excited to watch Beyoncé and her daughter display their strong bond for the world to see. In many cases, the mothers have been Beyoncé fans for years and are excited for their daughters to grow up with Blue Ivy, a high-flyer for their generation. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Tanazha Baylis took her now 11-year-old daughter, Aria Brown, to the Renaissance tour, where she did not miss a beat dancing along to Blue Ivy's 'My Power' choreography. Brown was so determined to attend the Cowboy Carter Tour that she started selling popular toys, such as slime and Squishmallows, and saving her money. 'She literally was like, 'Mom, I don't know what you're going to do, but I have to go to this concert,'' said Baylis. 'I just had to make it happen after that.' Brown became a Beyoncé fan after participating in a dance recital with a theme centered around the superstar's career throughout the years. Baylis, who says she has always been a big fan, is happy to share these experiences with her daughter. 'It just showed her a cool mom and daughter, and it's just something that she can do as well. Beyoncé is a little older but, with seeing Blue there, it made it tangible for her.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Although there is no solid answer for what the future holds for Blue Ivy, it is widely recognized that the possibilities are limitless. 'We couldn't imagine that Beyoncé would do all of these things that she could do. All we saw were people trying to put limitations on her,' said Brooks. 'I think one of the things that Beyoncé wants us to do and what she wants for Blue is for us to not put those limitations on Blue.'
