As the city continues to expand, it faces a delicate balancing act between maintaining its rich historical heritage and embracing the future. In this dynamic environment, addressing the decay of older buildings becomes crucial to the city\'s resilience. Among the many urban redevelopment initiatives currently underway, the redevelopment of Kalyan Bhavan in South Mumbai stands out—not just as a building project but as a powerful example of MHADA’s commitment to improving lives and providing better living spaces for the city\'s residents.","Located on Kalbadevi Road, Kalyan Bhavan had long been a part of Mumbai’s historical fabric, housing a vibrant community. Over time, however, it began to deteriorate, and by 2023, it was officially declared dilapidated and unsafe. This marked a significant turning point, as the need for redevelopment became undeniable. At this critical juncture, MHADA, under the guidance of Sanjeev Jaiswal, took swift action to ensure the safety and well-being of the building\'s residents, demonstrating a deep commitment to both urban renewal and community welfare."]},{"heading":"A Swift Response to a Growing Need","paragraphs":["The issue of revitalizing aging infrastructure in Mumbai is never straightforward. It requires more than just rebuilding structures—it involves protecting lives, preserving a community’s legacy, and ensuring that the redevelopment process addresses the needs of the residents. In May 2023, MHADA took prompt action by issuing a notice to the landlord, requesting a redevelopment proposal within six months. This proactive approach reflected MHADA’s focus on addressing the city\'s housing crisis while improving the quality of life for residents.","By June 2024, the landlord had submitted the necessary proposal, and MHADA issued a Letter of Intent (LoI) to initiate the redevelopment process. At this stage, it appeared that the project was on track for smooth execution, signalling a positive shift for the residents and the city as a whole."]},{"heading":"The Tenants’ Perspective: Upholding Resident Rights","paragraphs":["Urban redevelopment often brings forth various challenges, especially concerning the rights and concerns of existing tenants. In the case of Kalyan Bhavan, tenants raised important concerns regarding delays in the redevelopment process. They argued that the landlord had failed to meet the legal deadline for submitting the redevelopment proposal and expressed their desire for a more inclusive approach.","Thanks to a 2022 amendment to the MHADA Act, which grants tenants the right to take charge of redevelopment if the landlord fails to meet deadlines, the tenants’ voices gained further significance. Their plea for a review of the landlord’s proposal led to the matter being taken to the Bombay High Court in November 2024, where the court ruled in favour of considering the tenants’ proposal as well. This ruling underscored the importance of ensuring that all parties—tenants, landlords, and developers—are part of the redevelopment conversation."]},{"heading":"MHADA’s Commitment to Fairness and Timely Solutions","paragraphs":["MHADA, under Sanjeev Jaiswal’s leadership, has consistently prioritized fairness and transparency in its dealings. In line with these principles, the authority ensured that the redevelopment of Kalyan Bhavan remained inclusive and legally sound. The court’s directive in January 2025, instructing MHADA to finalize the redevelopment plan within 15 days, marked a significant moment in this journey. It reflected the judiciary’s recognition of MHADA’s efforts to create a solution that benef

1ited both tenants and landlords.","The entire process emphasized the importance of acting swiftly while remaining considerate of residents\' needs. MHADA’s unwavering focus was not only on completing the redevelopment project but also on ensuring that it adhered to legal norms, upheld tenants’ rights, and fostered a sense of ownership and participation among the people involved."]},{"heading":"Progress Amidst Challenges: Moving Forward with Redevelopment","paragraphs":["Despite the legal hurdles, MHADA proceeded with the demolition of Kalyan Bhavan, demonstrating its commitment to the redevelopment process. This ongoing work is not just about physical transformation—it represents a revitalization for the entire community.

Addressing this imbalance requires new approaches to redevelopment that use land more efficiently while improving living conditions for residents.","The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is now prioritising large-scale cluster redevelopment across Mumbai, with a plan to create approximately **20,000 affordable housing units** over the next **six to seven years**. The strategy focuses on redeveloping ageing residential layouts by consolidating fragmented redevelopment efforts into larger clusters.","According to IAS Sanjeev Jaiswal, Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of MHADA, these cluster redevelopment projects could collectively unlock around **800–1,000 acres of land** across Mumbai, opening up new possibilities for planned urban housing.","**Moving Beyond Fragmented Redevelopment**","For decades, redevelopment in Mumbai has largely happened building by building. In many cases, small groups of two or three structures were redeveloped independently.","While this approach allowed redevelopment to move forward incrementally, it often resulted in fragmented urban growth. Infrastructure such as roads, utilities, and public spaces had to be redesigned for each project individually, which increased costs and reduced overall efficiency.","MHADA’s cluster redevelopment strategy attempts to solve this problem.","Instead of focusing on isolated buildings, redevelopment will now take place across larger land parcels often spanning **20–30 acres or more**. This allows planners to design infrastructure more systematically while spreading development costs across a larger number of housing units.","In a city where every square metre matters, this shift represents a more sustainable way to plan urban housing.","**Creating 20,000 Affordable Homes**","Under the current planning framework, MHADA expects cluster redevelopment projects to generate around **10 lakh sq m of residential stock**.","Most of this supply will fall within the affordable housing segment, which remains one of Mumbai’s most pressing urban 

1needs.","Based on existing estimates, this development output could translate into approximately **20,000 housing units**, primarily sized between **500 sq ft and 700 sq ft**.","Unlike market-driven housing projects where prices fluctuate based on demand, these homes will be priced using a formula linked to **ready reckoner rates** rather than prevailing market prices. This mechanism helps ensure that the units remain accessible to middle-income and lower-income households.","**Rehabilitation of Existing Residents**","A central objective of MHADA’s redevelopment model is to improve housing conditions for existing residents living in older buildings.","Many MHADA housing layouts were developed several decades ago, with units measuring only **160–200 sq ft**. Over time, these structures have aged significantly and no longer meet modern housing standards.","Under the redevelopment schemes, residents are expected to receive larger rehabilitation apartments ranging from approximately **550 sq ft to 650 sq ft**.","This expansion in living space represents a major improvement in urban housing quality, particularly for families that have lived in extremely compact homes for generations.","**Key Locations Identified for Redevelopment**","MHADA officials have already identified several locations across Mumbai where cluster redevelopment projects are either underway or in different stages of planning.","Some of the major redevelopment zones include:","\xb7 Motilal Nagar in Goregaon","\xb7 SVP Nagar in Andheri","\xb7 GTB Nagar in Sion","\xb7 Abhyudaya Nagar in Parel","\xb7 Kamathipura in south Mumbai","\xb7 Magathane in Borivali","\xb7 Mandvi Reclamation","\xb7 Adarsh Nagar","\xb7 Aram Nagar","These projects form part of MHADA’s broader strategy to modernise ageing housing layouts while addressing the shortage of affordable homes in Mumbai.","**Unlocking Land and Generating Revenue**","Beyond housing supply, cluster redevelopment also has the potential to strengthen MHADA’s financial capacity.","According to planning estimates, such projects could generate around **INR 25,000 crore in premiums** over the next **five to seven years**.

The cluster redevelopment model, which focuses on redeveloping entire housing layouts rather than isolated buildings, is now becoming a central strategy for improving housing supply in the city.","Speaking at a panel discussion during the **iDAC Expo 2026 in Mumbai on March 12**, IAS Sanjeev Jaiswal, Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), said that **800 to 1,000 acres of land in Mumbai** have been opened up for redevelopment under the cluster development model over the past year.","The scale of this development reflects a significant shift in how urban housing is being planned in India’s financial capital.","**Large Layouts Driving Cluster Redevelopment**","According to Jaiswal, cluster redevelopment projects now being pursued by MHADA involve large housing layouts that allow redevelopment to happen at scale.","“In the last one year, in Mumbai alone, either approved by the Cabinet, or the developer has been appointed or in tender process, whatever be the reasons, more than **800 to 1,000 acres of land in proper Mumbai** is opening up for redevelopment on a cluster model,” Jaiswal said during the discussion.","He explained that each redevelopment layout typically covers a large area, making it possible to design infrastructure and housing more efficiently.","“Every layout is expanding almost to **40 acres, 60 acres, 100 acres, or even 140 acres**,” he added.","This approach allows redevelopment to be planned at a neighbourhood scale instead of focusing on individual buildings.","**Major Redevelopment Projects Across the City**","MHADA has already identified several locations where cluster redevelopment projects are underway or being actively pursued.","Among the most prominent examples is the **Motilal Nagar redevelopment project**, which spans around **140 acres**. Other major redevelopment clusters include:","\xb7 GTB Nagar","\xb7 Kamathipura","\xb7 Bandra Reclamation","\xb7 Aaram Nagar","\xb7 Adarsh Nagar","\xb7 Gorai","\xb7 Charkop","These projects represent some of the largest urban redevelopment initiatives currently being planned in Mumbai.","By redeveloping entire neighbourhood clusters, authorities aim to improve infrastru

1cture, increase housing supply, and optimise land usage in a city where space is extremely limited.","**Affordable Housing Potential**","One of the key outcomes expected from these cluster redevelopment projects is a significant increase in housing supply.","According to MHADA estimates shared by Jaiswal, the redevelopment pipeline could generate over **10 lakh sq metres of built-up housing stock** in the coming years.","When translated into residential units, this volume of development could produce more than **20,000 apartments**.","“If I convert it to a **500 sq ft apartment**, it comes to more than **20,000 apartments**, which will be opened up, on the redirected rates, for the common public in Mumbai,” Jaiswal said.","This approach ensures that a substantial portion of the housing stock created under redevelopment remains accessible to middle-income households.","**Rehabilitation of Existing Communities**","Cluster redevelopment also focuses on improving living conditions for residents currently living in ageing buildings.","Many housing layouts developed decades ago now require structural upgrades and modern infrastructure. Redevelopment allows these areas to be rebuilt with better housing, improved safety standards, and modern urban amenities.","As part of this broader effort, the government is also continuing redevelopment of historic housing clusters such as the **Bombay Development Directorate (BDD) chawls**.","Jaiswal noted that keys would be handed over on **March 16** to residents in Naigaon in central Mumbai who are being rehabilitated under the redevelopment of the **over 100-year-old BDD chawls**.","**Structural Reforms to Improve Housing Affordability**","While redevelopment can increase housing supply, Jaiswal also emphasised the need for policy reforms to make housing more affordable.","He highlighted that costs associated with housing development—such as premiums, development charges, and regulatory expenses—play a major role in determining final property prices.","“If we rationalise **premiums, development charges and other costs associated with housing development**, the affordability index in cities like Mumbai could reduce significantly,” he said.","He added that policy reforms combined with faster approvals could accelerate housing supply and make homes more accessible to citizens.","**Maharashtra’s Role in India’s Economic Growth**","Housing and infrastructure development also play a critical role in the broader economic vision for the state.","During the same event, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who also holds the housing portfolio, said that the state is expected to make a major contribution to India’s economic ambitions.","He stated that Maharashtra could contribute nearly **$1.5 trillion to India’s $5 trillion economy vision by 2027**, provided global economic conditions remain stable.","Shinde also highlighted the scale of investment expected in the state’s infrastructure and industrial sectors.","According to him, **₹2.96 lakh crore worth of investments expected in 2026** could generate nearly **3 lakh jobs**, further strengthening Mumbai and Maharashtra as key engines of economic growth.","**A New Phase of Urban Redevelopment**","Mumbai’s redevelopment journey has often been slow and complex due to land constraints and regulatory challenges.

The project marks a significant milestone in Mumbai’s journey towards planned, modern, and sustainable urban development."," The comprehensive master plan for the redevelopment of Motilal Nagar 1, 2, and 3 colonies was presented to local residents today at Ganesh Maidan, Goregaon (West). Speaking on the occasion, Shri Sanjeev Jaiswal stated, “The Motilal Nagar Redevelopment Project is one of the most important and historic projects in MHADA’s journey. The State Government is committed to providing well-planned and quality housing to all citizens. Under the leadership and vision of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister & Housing Minister Shri Eknath Shinde, this project has gained momentum and direction.”","He further added that the project aims to provide beneficiaries with spacious, well-equipped homes and to develop an ideal township with state-of-the-art amenities, thereby offering residents a safe, modern, and enhanced lifestyle.","Pending for nearly two decades, the project is a significant chapter in Mumbai’s urban evolution. Originally developed in the 1960s, the Motilal Nagar colony catered to the needs of the middle class at the time. However, with growing population, changing lifestyles, and increasing pressure on infrastru

1cture, the need for comprehensive redevelopment became imperative.","The State Government has granted the status of a Special Project Authority for the implementation of this project. The Adani Group has been selected as the Construction & Development Agency (C&DA) through a rigorous tendering process. MHADA has set a target of completing the project within the next seven years.","Under the project, 3,702 eligible residential beneficiaries will be provided free rehab housing units of approximately 1,600 sq. ft. each, while 328 eligible commercial occupants will receive commercial units of 987 sq. ft. each. Additionally, around 1,600 slum dwellers will be rehabilitated with 300 sq. ft. housing units under SRA provisions. MHADA will also receive a substantial housing stock as part of the redevelopment.","A key highlight of the project is its transformation into a “15-minute city”, where essential amenities such as schools, clinics, hospitals, markets, commercial complexes, green parks, senior citizen zones, playgrounds, jogging tracks, cycling tracks, cultural halls, and gymnasiums will be accessible within a 15-minute radius.","Despite the scarcity of open spaces in Mumbai, the project includes the development of approximately 15 acres of green zones. Additionally, modern infrastructure such as multi-level parking, sewage treatment plants (STP), rainwater harvesting systems, solar energy utilization, smart security systems (CCTV, access control), fire safety systems, and eco-friendly technologies will be incorporated. Thus, the project goes beyond housing and embraces the concept of “Live, Work, and Play”, offering a holistic lifestyle.","The existing colony, located in a low-lying area, has faced persistent challenges due to waterlogging over the years. The redevelopment will address these issues through improved internal road networks, efficient water supply, and proper drainage systems, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for residents.","One of the most remarkable features of the project is the provision of 1,600 sq. ft. rehabilitation units, made possible due to the low-density layout of the existing colony. This is unprecedented in Mumbai’s redevelopment history and marks a historic milestone in the city’s housing sector.","After six decades, this project is set to redefine urban planning benchmarks in Mumbai. By transforming an old colony into a modern and sustainable township, it will significantly improve the quality of life for residents while accelerating balanced and planned urban development in the city.","Through this project, residents will not only receive spacious homes but also experience a modern township lifestyle. The detailed master plan presented by MHADA elaborates all these aspects, reaffirming its commitment to residents’ welfare and timely completion of the project."]}]},{"id":62,"title":"MHADA Pune Board announces Online Registration for Sale of 295 Flats under “First Come, First Served” Scheme from May 4","slug":"mhada-pune-295-flats-first-come-first-served","excerpt":"MHADA Pune Board launches sale of 295 flats under first come first served scheme","image":"../assets/img/sj/pr61.jpeg","metaTitle":"MHADA Pune 295 Flats First Come First Served Scheme","metaDescription":"MHADA Pune Board announces online registration for sale of 295 flats under first come first served scheme.","metaKeywords":"MHADA Pune flats, 295 flats MHADA, first come first served scheme Pune","keywords":[{"text":"MHADA","url":"https://www.mhada.gov.in/en"}],"content":[{"heading":"MHADA Pune Board announces Online Registration for Sale of 295 Flats under “First Come, First Served” Scheme from May 4","paragraphs":["Mumbai, April 23, 2026: MHADA\'s Pune Housing and Area Development Board, has announced the sale of 295 flats under the “First Come, First Served” scheme across various housing colonies in Pune district.
