The Slum Rehabilitation Authority has set an ambitious target of delivering 5.09 lakh new homes for slum dwellers by 2030, more than double the total built in the past 29 years.

The state cabinet accepted the transfer of 140 acres of Malwani and Aksa property from the suburban collector for the ambitious Dharavi Redevelopment Project. Land will be utilised for rental homes for slum inhabitants ineligible for free housing under the project.
