Speaking at the India Today Conclave, Gaikwad expressed her concerns over the project and its implications for Mumbai. The redevelopment of Dharavi, Asia's largest slum, has faced numerous setbacks since the state government first proposed an action plan in 2004.
Despite multiple failed attempts to attract bidders over the years, the Adani Group won the bid in November 2023 to redevelop 645 acres of prime land in central Mumbai. However, nearly a year later, concerns persist over how the Adani Group secured the contract, its financial ability to complete the project, and whether it views the initiative as a resettlement effort or a real estate venture.
Residents are skeptical of the two-decade-long resettlement plan, while the Congress party has accused the government of favoritism, alleging the bidding process was manipulated to favor Adani at a lower price.
