It deals with and has authority over the formulation and administration of the rules and regulations, and laws relating to housing and urban development in India.[2] The Ministry became independent from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation in 2004,[3] but was later re-merged with it in 2017.[4]In July 2026, the Department of Capital Development was carved out and is designed to streamline operations specific to the National Capital Region (India).
