Talking about the launch of 'Shubh Griha', Brotin Banerjee, managing director and CEO of Tata Housing said: "We observed that since most of the people in the low income bracket live away from their families to earn a livelihood in the big cities, there is a large percentage of migrant population with people living in either rented or company provided accommodation. 

Our study shows that around 48 per cent of the people in the lower segment are currently staying in rented accommodation. As a real estate company, we are sensitive to the need of providing this segment with their own home along with a community life, we believe in empowering them and giving them the pride of owing a house in a city like Mumbai. 'Shubh Griha' is in line with the group’s philosophy of contributing and having a positive involvement with the society at large."

According to a research, the company has revealed that India today faces a total shortage of 24.7 million dwelling units, with more than 70 per cent of this shortage in the middle and low income groups.
