Naya Pakistan Housing & Development Authority (NAPHDA) is the national construction organisation of the Government of Pakistan.[1][2] NAPHDA is responsible for the planning, development, construction and management of real estate projects across the country.[3]
According to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), as of 2015 there exists a significant gap between housing demand and supply in major cities, with an estimated shortage of approximately 4.4 million units. This deficit is projected to worsen if current trends persist, with the five largest cities in Pakistan expected to account for a staggering 78 percent of the overall housing deficit by 2035.[4] In 2020, SBP estimated that the total housing deficit in 2020 stood at a staggering 10.3 million units, with urban areas facing a revised shortfall of 3.4 million units.[5]
Lieutenant General Anwar Ali Hyder, HI(M) (Retd.) is the chairman of NAPHDA.[6][2]
