MHADA takes over 17 stalled slum redevelopment projects in Mumbai

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), following a directive from the state government, has initiated work on 17 delayed Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) projects across the city. Among them, the Sai Baba Housing Society in Jogeshwari has received a Letter of Intent (LOI), while the remaining projects are in the documentation phase and will be processed accordingly, said MHADA’s vice-president and CEO, Sanjeev Jaiswal.

To accelerate redevelopment, MHADA will soon invite tenders for the first project and subsequently float tenders for the remaining ones to appoint contractors.

In collaboration with the SRA, MHADA is working to revive stalled slum redevelopment projects across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Eight of these projects have already been withdrawn from their original developers under Section 13(2) of the Slum Rehabilitation Act. These include 12 projects in Goregaon, two in Bandra, five in Kurla, and two in Borivali/Dahisar. Additionally, feasibility assessments are underway for five more projects, all situated on MHADA-owned land.
