The Adani Group, in a joint venture with the Maharashtra government, has secured the Dharavi slum redevelopment project through open international bidding. The company will construct housing and commercial units, which will be handed over to the Dharavi Redevelopment Project/Slum Rehabilitation Authority (DRP/SRA) of the Maharashtra government for allocation based on survey results.
One of the key features of the project is the allocation of 350 square feet flats, 17% larger than those typically provided in other Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) schemes in Mumbai. Additionally, the project includes 10 years of free maintenance and allows for 10% commercial space within residential premises, ensuring sustainable revenue for housing societies. Eligible businesses will receive free business premises, and a five-year state GST rebate is offered to enhance profitability, integrate them into the formal economy, increase competitiveness, and create growth opportunities.
The Dharavi Redevelopment Project is a pioneering initiative that aims to improve the quality of life for over one million residents of Dharavi. The project's focus on sustainable multi-modal transport systems and state-of-the-art infrastructure utilities will create a thriving neighbourhood, setting a new standard for slum redevelopment in India.
