Mhada invites tenders for cluster redevelopment of Kamathipura, Mumbai

The Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board (MBRRB), a unit of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada), has issued a tender for the cluster redevelopment of Kamathipura in South Mumbai.
The redevelopment of dilapidated cessed and non-cessed buildings and plots in lanes numbered 1 to 15 of Kamathipura will be carried out in an integrated manner under Regulation 33(9) of the Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) 2034 through the MBRRB.
The Kamathipura area, spread across 34 acres in South Mumbai, includes approximately 943 cessed buildings in lanes 1 to 15, with around 6,625 residential and 1,376 non-residential tenants/residents, totalling 8,001.
There are about 800 landowners in the area. The buildings in this region are approximately 100 years old. The total net plot area of this region is approximately 73,144.84 square metres (sq m).
Government approval for the Kamathipura cluster redevelopment project was granted via a government resolution on 12 January 2023. Based on this, tenders were invited for planning the project, and Mahimtura Consultants were appointed for the same. The project blueprint has been developed under the title Kamathipura Cluster Redevelopment Project – Urban Village. The project will also include commercial buildings and recreational grounds.
Additionally, through this project, 44,000 sq m of land will be made available to Mhada through the selected bidder, resulting in a significant increase in housing stock. The developer will receive 5,67,000 sq m of development rights, where a housing stock of approximately 4,500 new units is expected to be constructed.
According to Square Yards Data Intelligence, considering the sales transactions in Kamathipura in Q1 CY25, the property rate stood at ₹13,980 per sq ft, against ₹13,508 per sq ft in Q1 CY24.
A decision to compensate landowners in the Kamathipura area was taken as per the government resolution dated 2 July 2024. One housing unit of 500 sq ft area will be provided for land plots measuring up to 50 sq m, two such units for plots measuring between 51 and 100 sq m, three units for plots between 101 and 150 sq m, four units for plots between 151 and 200 sq m, and for every additional 50 sq m beyond 200 sq m, one additional unit of 500 sq ft will be provided to the landowners.
The Kamathipura cluster redevelopment would be the third significant project in Mumbai after the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP)—a slum redevelopment project in association with the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA)—and the Motilal Nagar Redevelopment Project in Goregaon West, where the developer was appointed by Mhada through a bidding process.
Both Dharavi and Motilal Nagar are being executed through the realty arm of the Adani Group. The cost of DRP has been estimated to be around ₹95,790 crore, while the Adani Group won the bid for Motilal Nagar for ₹36,000 crore.

Dharavi Redevelopment: Over 75 per cent tenants qualify for new homes

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 2 (ANI): Residents of Dharavi are waiting with bated breath as the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP), along with the Government of Maharashtra, has begun releasing the Draft Annexure-II in phases. In the first such list published for Sector 6 (Meghwadi and Ganesh Nagar), over 75 per cent of tenement holders have qualified for new homes under the redevelopment scheme, according to data released by the DRP. The balance would get a qualified basis, additional checks and documents sought. Out of a total of 505 tenements, 31 tenements are yet to submit any documents, 137 cases are pending verification by BMC, which the DRP is pursuing, and the remaining 38 are amenity structures. Among the remaining 299 tenements, 229 have been found eligible for new homes under various criteria. The remaining 70 are in the process of submitting additional documents to validate their eligibility. DRP CEO SVR Srinivas assured that every resident will get a house either inside or outside Dharavi based on their eligibility status. 'I would like to reiterate that the Dharavi redevelopment is the most inclusive project ever contemplated in SRA history, where every resident is going to get a house. Not just that, all commercial units, whether eligible or ineligible, will get spaces inside Dharavi itself,' Srinivas said. He further explained that commercial units that are eligible will, in any case, get free in-situ spaces inside Dharavi. In fact, a proposal has been made to the government to accommodate ineligible commercial units as well, on a rental basis, inside Dharavi. 'The 10 per cent commercial space reserved in every society can be given on a rental basis to ineligible commercial units so that they can sustain their livelihoods in Dharavi itself. We have already made this proposal,' Srinivas said. As per the Annexure-II data, 170 ground-floor tenements, including residential, commercial and residential/commercial, have all met the eligibility criteria and are entitled to new homes either within or outside Dharavi. Of these, 157 tenements came into existence before January 1, 2000, and are entitled to 350 sq ft homes within Dharavi. The remaining 13 are considered Shashulk Eligible, meaning they are entitled to 300 sq ft homes outside Dharavi at a subsidised cost of Rs 2.5 lakh, having settled in Dharavi before Jan 1, 2011. In a significant step, the inclusion of upper-floor tenement holders, typically disqualified under all other slum rehabilitation schemes, is a true mark of the present government and DRP's promise for inclusivity. As per the data, 59 upper-floor tenements have qualified for new homes under the DRP's unique 'hire-purchase' scheme. These residents will receive 300 sq ft homes on rent for 12 years, after which they will become legal owners. They may also choose to buy the home outright at a government-decided rate at any time during the 12-year period. Typically, under other SRA schemes, those who settle in the ground floor after 2011 are excluded from redevelopment benefits, and all upper-floor residents face outright eviction. However, DRP has ensured that all such residents are also provided with new and modern homes outside Dharavi but within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). These colonies will be modern and will be maintained free of cost for 10 years. The DRP has invited tenement holders to submit their suggestions or objections regarding the Draft Annexure II. Submissions can be made to the DRP office or by email to [email protected]. The deadline is July 5, 5.30 PM. (ANI)
