Relocation & Rehabilitation Services for Displaced Residents
The Opportunity
Large-scale urban demolition projects (800+ homes in Khammam alone) are displacing poor residents without proper ground assessment or relocation support. Affected families lack organized services to navigate legal claims, find alternative housing, secure compensation, and manage the relocation process—creating an urgent service gap.
Market Size
₹500–800 crore annually in Telangana/Andhra Pradesh. Based on: 800 homes demolished in Khammam × ₹50–60 lakh average relocation cost per family (housing, legal fees, transit). Similar demolition projects ongoing in Hyderabad (MUSI rejuvenation), Bangalore, and other metros = national TAM of ₹5,000+ crore.
Business Model
B2C + B2G hybrid. Offer end-to-end relocation consulting: legal representation for compensation claims, alternative housing sourcing, documentation support, moving logistics, and temporary accommodation placement. Revenue from displaced families (sliding-scale fees) + contracts with municipal corporations/NGOs for relocation management.
Per-family service fee: ₹15,000–₹30,000 per displaced household (legal + logistics support)Government contracts: ₹2–5 lakh per 100-family relocation project managedReferral commissions from affordable housing partners: 2–3% on housing placements
