id=\"Why_Has_the_Malad_Land_Been_Handed_Over\"><\/span><strong>Why Has the Malad Land Been Handed Over?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The 118-acre plot at Mukteshwar, Malad, is being allocated specifically for rehabilitation of Dharavi residents who are not eligible for in-situ housing (rehabilitation within Dharavi).<\/p>\n<p>Sources reveal that this relocation housing will be meant for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Residents living on upper floors<\/li>\n<li>Residents who settled in Dharavi after January 1, 2011<\/li>\n<li>Residents who settled before November 15, 2022<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This means the Malad land will act as a major rehabilitation zone for those who fall outside Dharavi\u2019s in-situ eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Will_Own_the_Land_and_Who_Will_Develop_It\"><\/span><strong>Who Will Own the Land and Who Will Develop It?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although the land has been handed over for the project, the ownership will remain with the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA).<\/p>\n<p>However, the development rights will be held by the Adani Group\u2019s special-purpose vehicle (SPV), which is executing the project.<\/p>\n<p>The redevelopment is being carried out through Navbharat Mega Developers Pvt Ltd (NMDPL)\u2014a joint venture between:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adani Group<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Government of Maharashtra<\/strong> (stakeholder in the project)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This structure ensures that the land remains government-controlled, while development execution is managed through the SPV.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Land_Value_and_Premium_Paid_by_NMDPL\"><\/span><strong>Land Value and Premium Paid by NMDPL<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The 118-acre land parcel is estimated to be worth approximately <strong>\u20b9540 crore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To acquire development rights, NMDPL has already paid:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u20b9135 crore as premium<\/strong> for development rights on the land parcel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This payment indicates that the project is moving into serious implementation mode, especially in terms of land acquisition and planning.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_the_Remaining_Land\"><\/span><strong>What About the Remaining Land?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Interestingly, the original earmarked land at Mukteshwar was around <strong>140 acres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Out of that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>118 acres have been handed over<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>22 acres are still under litigation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This pending portion could potentially delay full-scale development on the entire plot, but the handover of the majority land suggests the rehabilitation plan is still progressing strongly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_There_Be_a_Sale_Component_Too\"><\/span><strong>Will There Be a Sale Component Too?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Sources indicate that a portion of this Malad land will be used for <strong>construction of apartments under the sale component<\/strong>, which will be sold in the open market.<\/p>\n<p>This sale component is a common model in large redevelopment projects because it helps developers recover costs and finance rehabilitation housing.<\/p>\n<p>So while the land is mainly for Dharavi rehabilitation, it may also include market-driven residential development.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MMR-Wide_Land_Allocation_for_Dharavi_Redevelopment\"><\/span><strong>MMR-Wide Land Allocation for Dharavi Redevelopment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Malad land is not the only location identified for rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>The Maharashtra government has reportedly identified and allocated <strong>around 540 acres of land parcels across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR)<\/strong> to support Dharavi redevelopment.<\/p>\n<p>These include locations such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kurla<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt pan lands in Kanjur<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Bhandup<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mulund<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Portions of the <strong>Deonar dumping ground<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These land parcels are meant to facilitate large-scale housing creation, especially for those who cannot be accommodated directly inside Dharavi.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Homes_Will_Be_Built_Under_the_Project\"><\/span><strong>How Many Homes Will Be Built Under the Project?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Officials estimate that the redevelopment will require construction of approximately:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1.25 lakh to 1.5 lakh new homes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These homes are expected to rehabilitate nearly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>10 lakh Dharavi residents<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given Dharavi\u2019s massive population density and mixed eligibility groups, this large-scale housing construction is being planned both within and outside Dharavi.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rehabilitation_Housing_Size_Bigger_Than_Typical_SRA_Projects\"><\/span><strong>Rehabilitation Housing Size: Bigger Than Typical SRA Projects<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One notable detail is the size of rehabilitation units.<\/p>\n<p>As per Maharashtra\u2019s Slum Rehabilitation Act:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each eligible resident will get one rehabilitation unit<\/li>\n<li>This applies regardless of the number of tenements they own<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The units planned for Dharavi redevelopment will measure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>350 sq. ft.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is larger than the usual:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>300 sq. ft. rehab units offered in other slum redevelopment schemes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This increase is being seen as an upgrade and a major benefit for eligible residents.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_to_Residents_Who_Are_Ineligible\"><\/span><strong>What Happens to Residents Who Are Ineligible?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Residents who are not eligible for in-situ rehabilitation in Dharavi will not be left out entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, they will be relocated to rental housing complexes outside Dharavi, under a hire-purchase arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>This means residents will likely stay on rent initially but may eventually have a structured path to ownership, depending on scheme terms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Dharavi_Redevelopment_Project\"><\/span><strong>What Is the Dharavi Redevelopment Project?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Dharavi redevelopment project is being positioned as one of the biggest urban renewal projects not only in India, but globally.<\/p>\n<p>Key highlights include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Adani Group won the bid in November 2022<\/li>\n<li>The group committed an initial investment of \u20b95,069 crore<\/li>\n<li>The project is being executed by Navbharat Mega Developers Pvt Ltd (NMDPL)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project is often referred to as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cThe largest urban rejuvenation project in the world\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A major step towards making Mumbai slum-free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Project_Timeline_7_Years_for_Rehab_Housing_17_Years_Overall\"><\/span><strong>Project Timeline: 7 Years for Rehab Housing, 17 Years Overall<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The deadlines are clearly defined:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NMDPL has 7 years to construct the required rehabilitation homes<\/li>\n<li>The overall redevelopment timeline is 17 years, as set by the Maharashtra government<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This means while rehabilitation may be completed earlier, the complete transformation of Dharavi into a planned urban hub will take more than a decade.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The handover of 118 acres in Malad marks a crucial milestone for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/housiey.com\/blogs\/dharavi-redevelopment-project-master-plan-approved-for-asias-largest-slum\">Dharavi Redevelopment Project<\/a><\/strong>, especially because rehabilitation is the most complex and sensitive part of any slum redevelopment. With large-scale land identification across MMR, premium payments already made, and clear eligibility planning, the project appears to be shifting from planning to real execution.<\/p>\n<p>If implemented efficiently, this redevelopment could redefine Mumbai\u2019s urban landscape while also improving the living standards of lakhs of families who have waited decades for dignified housing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai\u2019s most ambitious redevelopment plan just received a major boost.
