The Dharavi redevelopment project is a massive undertaking, covering an area of 590 acres and involving an estimated investment of Rs 20,000 crore. The project aims to provide housing to over 5 lakh residents, as well as create commercial and industrial spaces. However, the project has faced numerous delays and setbacks over the years, with concerns over land acquisition, rehabilitation of residents, and environmental impact.
Thackeray's decision to re float the tender is seen as a positive move, as it will provide an opportunity for more bidders to participate and potentially bring in more competitive bids. The move is also expected to fast track the project, which has been stuck in limbo for years.
The Dharavi redevelopment project was first proposed in 2004, with the aim of transforming the area into a modern township. However, the project has faced numerous delays and setbacks over the years, with concerns over land acquisition, rehabilitation of residents, and environmental impact. The project is seen as a crucial step towards urban renewal in Mumbai, and its success is closely watched by the real estate industry and residents alike.
