Over 1.3 lakh people will vie for 4,275 low-cost houses, a majority of them in Mumbai’s satellite township of Virar, that the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) will allot in a lottery to be held on Wednesday.
This translates to as many as 31 applicants in the race for every house that the MHADA will sell. Over 87 per cent, or 3,755 of the 4,275 houses, are being readied in MHADA’s complex in Bolinj, Virar West. The rest are scattered in Thane, Mira Road and Vengurla in the Sindhudurg district.

Of the 4,275 houses that MHADA will sell on Wednesday, 2,629 will be for the lower-income groups and 1,311 will be for the middle-income groups, most of them in its Virar complex. Of the rest, the authority will offer 329 houses for the economically backward classes in Balkum, Thane and Mira Road, and six for the higher-income group category, all of which would be in Vengurla.
The houses are priced between Rs 4.32 lakh for economically weaker sections for a 195-square-foot tenement in Thane to Rs 40.93 lakh for the middle-income groups for a 653.7-square-foot flat in Virar.
