Mhada Opens 114 Layouts for Redevelopment to Boost Housing Stock

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) has officially announced the opening of 114 layouts across Mumbai for redevelopment. This marks a significant step in addressing the city's growing housing demands, with Mhada set to collaborate with developers for large-scale housing projects. Mhada, one of Mumbai's largest landowners, controls approximately 2,000 hectares of land across the city, ranging from layouts spanning 10 acres to the largest ones covering up to 140 acres.

Cluster Redevelopment to Drive Growth

Highlighted that cluster redevelopment would be the key to achieving sustainable growth in Mumbai. Cluster redevelopment allows for the effective laying of civic infrastructure and the provision of much-needed amenities, thereby transforming old and dilapidated areas into thriving residential hubs. This move is expected to contribute significantly to the city’s housing stock, which has long faced shortages.

Key Redevelopment Projects

As part of this initiative, Mhada has already identified several high-priority layouts for redevelopment, including:

• Motilal Nagar in Goregaon

• Abhyudaya Nagar in Parel

• Adarsh Nagar in Worli

• Bandra Reclamation

• GTB Nagar in Sion

• Redevelopment projects in Prabhadevi, Mahim, and Dadar.

These areas, including clusters of cessed buildings, will be revitalised through the cluster redevelopment model, enabling coordinated development and infrastructure improvement.
