MHADA to Sell 120 Unsold Flats in Mumbai on First-Come-First-Served Basis from February 5

NEW DELHI: The Mumbai Housing and Area Development Board (MHADA) will offer 120 residential flats across multiple locations in Mumbai on a first-come-first-served (FCFS) basis, with online registrations opening on February 5, 2026, according to an official release.

The flats, which were earlier offered through MHADA lotteries but remained unsold, are spread across housing colonies under the Mumbai Board’s jurisdiction. Applications will be accepted through MHADA’s official housing portal.

While registrations will open on February 5 at 11 am, the process for online application submission, payment of application fee and security deposit, and flat selection will begin from February 12, 2026, at 11 am. Applicants will be required to pay 10% of the flat’s sale price within 48 hours of finalising the unit, following which a provisional offer letter will be issued online.

Of the total inventory, 84 flats have been constructed by the Mumbai Board, including units located in Shimpoli and Charkop (Kandivali), Antop Hill-Wadala, Tunga-Powai, PMGP-Mankhurd, and Malvani in Malad. The remaining 36 flats have been received under Development Control Regulation (DCR) 33(5) and 33(7) and are spread across Ghatkopar East, Kannamwar Nagar in Vikhroli, Byculla, Tardeo, Lower Parel, Sion, and JVPD in Andheri West.

After the initial 10% payment, buyers will be required to clear the remaining amount within 90 days. An extension of up to another 90 days may be granted, subject to applicable interest, in line with MHADA rules.

The move is part of MHADA’s efforts to liquidate unsold housing stock and make ready-to-move-in units available to eligible buyers through a non-lottery mechanism. This initiative is expected to benefit a large number of homebuyers who have been eagerly waiting for affordable housing options in Mumbai.

MHADA has been a key player in the real estate sector of Mumbai, focusing on the development of affordable housing projects and improving the living conditions of the city’s residents. The board’s efforts to streamline the sale of unsold flats through a transparent and efficient process are likely to be well-received by the public.

For more information on the application process, interested buyers are advised to visit the official MHADA website and review the detailed guidelines and eligibility criteria provided.
