Maharashtra government has notified a cluster-based slum redevelopment policy requiring 50-acre minimum clusters with integrated planning, aiming to unlock land and boost Mumbai's housing supply.

BMC planned 64 slum redevelopment projects across Mumbai but only 29 are progressing, with 35 projects facing legal complications or complete lack of builder interest.

Mumbai's 98-year-old Deonar dumping ground confronts another year of delays as three overlapping environmental mega-projects struggle with regulatory approvals, threatening urban development plans including the Dharavi redevelopment initiative.

The government wants to develop 2 lakh homes in Mumbai and Pune within three years, transforming the housing markets. This ambitious plan seeks to eliminate Mumbai slums, increase MHADA lottery possibilities, and revive SRA projects.

As the first Times Redevelopment Awards 2024 honoured Mumbai's future leaders, the skyline shone with innovation. Though complicated, BMC Commissioner Dr. Bhushan Gagrani called redevelopment the ultimate answer to Mumbai's land problem, calling it innovation rather than repetition.
