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.

IAS officials, including Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) CEO SVR Srinivas, Cidco president Vijay Singhal, and BMC associate municipal commissioner Abhijit Bangar, discussed city initiatives during the Maharashtra Infrastructure Conclave.

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.

The government reduced Mumbai's saltpan and mangrove slum redevelopment building area from 80% to 65%. BMC manages the remaining 35% for open space amenities. This comes seven months after the original construction ban in eco-sensitive zones.
