MHADA Lottery 2026: Pune Board to Announce 4,186 Affordable Home Winners Today

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is preparing to announce the results of its Pune board MHADA lottery 2026. A total of 4,186 affordable homes have been put up for sale, and the state housing authority has received over 2.15 lakh applications for these units.

According to MHADA, the lottery results will be announced at 12 noon on February 12, and applicants can watch the announcement live on YouTube. The event will take place at the Sharadchandra Pawar Auditorium of the Pune Zilla Parishad, and MHADA’s vice president and chief executive officer, Sanjeev Jaiswal (IAS), will attend the program via video conferencing.

The Pune Board published an advertisement on September 11, 2025, for the sale of 4,186 housing units through a lottery. The lottery includes 3,322 housing units under the 20 per cent Inclusive Housing Scheme and 864 housing units under the 15 per cent Social Housing Scheme within the Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation areas and the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority jurisdiction.

Apart from the lottery for Pune, MHADA is also expected to put 5,000 affordable homes on the market in Mumbai over the next two to three months. Of these, around half will be available in the Goregaon area of Mumbai. These units are designed to cater to a mix of economically weaker sections (EWS), lower-income groups (LIG), middle-income groups (MIG), and high-income groups (HIG) across several locations.

Additionally, MHADA had announced on February 2 the sale of 120 flats in Mumbai on a first-come, first-served basis across several areas of the city. However, on February 4, it was stated that the online registration process scheduled to begin on February 5 has been postponed due to 'technical reasons.' According to sources, the most expensive apartment for sale is in South Mumbai's Tardeo, priced at over ₹8 crore, while the least expensive is ₹38 lakh.

The flats available under the first-come, first-served (FCFS) scheme were previously offered through lotteries but remained unsold for various reasons and have now been put up for sale. These units are located in areas such as Kandivali, Charkop, Shimpoli, Antop Hill, Wadala, Powai, Malad, Mankhurd, Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Byculla, Tardeo, Lower Parel, Sion, Juhu, and Andheri.

MHADA's efforts to provide affordable housing are a significant step towards addressing the housing crisis in Maharashtra, particularly in urban areas like Pune and Mumbai. The lottery system ensures a fair and transparent process, giving hopeful applicants a chance to secure a home.
