MHADA Launches Tender for 7-Acre PMGP Colony Redevelopment in Mumbai's Jogeshwari

The PMGP Colony, originally constructed under the Prime Minister's Grant Project (PMGP) between 1990 and 1992, has been in a severely dilapidated condition for many years. The colony consists of 17 buildings, each with ground plus four storeys, housing 942 residential and 42 non-residential tenements. According to a recent structural audit report, the buildings are in a severely deteriorated state, necessitating urgent redevelopment.
Under this ambitious redevelopment project, nearly 1,000 families will be provided with modern homes of 450 sq ft carpet area, a significant upgrade from their current 180 sq ft units. The project is expected to be completed within approximately three and a half years under the supervision of the Mumbai Board, guided by the Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of MHADA, Sanjeev Jaiswal.
The journey to this point has been fraught with challenges. In 2010, the housing societies within the Poonam Nagar PMGP Colony appointed a developer to undertake the redevelopment. However, due to prolonged inaction, the project was delayed, and the buildings continued to deteriorate. In response to the residents' appeals, the government canceled the developer's appointment in December 2020 and directed MHADA to take over the project.
Following the government's directive, the tripartite agreement with the previously appointed developer was canceled in June 2022. In November 2023, a revised proposal to undertake cluster redevelopment through the appointment of a private Construction and Development Agency (C&D) by MHADA was submitted to the government. However, the government decided to implement the project under Regulation 33(5).
Despite issuing tenders in July and September 2024, which received no responses, MHADA submitted a proposal to implement the project directly in April 2025. Based on the government's approval received on May 28, the tender process for the appointment of an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor has been initiated. The bids are expected to be submitted by July 7.
This redevelopment project is a testament to MHADA's commitment to providing safe and modern housing solutions to the residents of Mumbai. The successful execution of this project will not only improve the living conditions of nearly 1,000 families but also set a precedent for future redevelopment initiatives in the region.
