The TNIHIS was conceptualised as an annual State of Housing Report and integrated housing dashboard for the Government of Tamil Nadu, to be operated by the Directorate of Housing as a policy support and decision-making tool. It consolidates housing-sector data from both public and private sources into a single platform, being India’s first state-level housing dashboard and report enabling: (i) tracking and analysis of housing indicators; (ii) predictive modelling of future housing trends; (iii) evidence-based decision-making and resource prioritisation; (iv) assessment of housing needs and market dynamics across financial brackets; and (v) affordability analysis for home purchase and rentals across income groups.
Our Role
- Conducted end-to-end housing market and finance analysis, including affordability sensitivity assessment, market segmentation, access to housing finance, and typology-wise rental and purchase rate benchmarking across income groups.
- Estimated Tamil Nadu’s housing requirement and shortage (4.8 Mn units as of 2025) and delivered the State’s first comprehensive State of Housing Report covering need, affordability-linked demand, supply, and housing finance trends.
- Designed and developed the TNIHIS dashboard architecture and interface, along with a sustainability roadmap for future integration and periodic updates.
- Led stakeholder consultations with state departments and private developers to compile district-level housing datasets, undertake data mapping, and prepare the data gap assessment.
