The rebranding has been approved by the company's board of directors and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
This change aims to avoid confusion with the Dharavi Redevelopment Authority (DRP), the special planning authority of the state government responsible for the project's supervision.
NMDPL is a special purpose vehicle (SPV) formed between the government of Maharashtra and the Adani Group.
The Adani Group holds an 80% stake in the company, while the government of Maharashtra retains the remaining 20%.
Despite the name change, the government's role in the project remains unchanged, and the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) continues to be the supervising authority.
The Dharavi Redevelopment Project is one of the most significant urban renewal initiatives in Asia, aiming to transform Dharavi, known as Asia's largest slum, into a modern, sustainable community.
The project covers nearly 600 acres and has an estimated cost of Rs 20,000 crore.
Adani Properties, a real estate development company owned by the Adani Group, emerged as the highest bidder for this project in November 2022.
The rebranding exercise is not just about changing the name but also about clarifying the company's role in the redevelopment process.
NMDPL will focus on the development and construction phases, while the Dharavi Redevelopment Authority will oversee the project's overall progress and compliance with urban planning guidelines.
The project aims to provide better living conditions, improved infrastructure, and economic opportunities for the residents of Dharavi.
It includes the construction of new housing units, commercial spaces, and public amenities.
The development is expected to set a new standard for urban redevelopment in India and serve as a model for other similar projects.
The Adani Group's involvement brings significant expertise in large-scale infrastructure and real estate projects.
Their track record in delivering complex projects on time and within budget is expected to contribute to the success of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project.
The government of Maharashtra, through the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA), will ensure that the project aligns with the state's urban development goals and benefits the community.
The rebranding to Navbharat Mega Developers marks a new chapter in the Dharavi Redevelopment Project, symbolizing the collaboration between the public and private sectors in creating a better future for the residents of Dharavi.
