The Veer Jijamata Nagar SRA society has 1,197 occupants, and Lokhandwala-DB Realty has offered them a choice between two options 300sqft of standard rehabilitation area, 105sqft of fungible floor space index (FSI), and 155sqft from the sale component, or 300sqft of rehabilitation area and the remaining 260sqft from the sale component as permanent alternative accommodation.
A spokesperson for Valor Estate Ltd, formerly known as DB Realty, stated that plans for the rehabilitation buildings, including the additional carpet area in the form of adjoining tenements, have been approved by SRA.
Officials believe that this move could lead to massive competition among developers to offer more area to slumdwellers. Even for Dharavi's redevelopment, the special purpose vehicle (SPV)—Dharavi Redevelopment Project Ltd—is giving eligible slumdwellers 350sqft flats.
The Valor Estate Ltd spokesperson emphasized that Veer Jijamata Nagar society is distinct from other slum areas, as it was a pitch colony where numerous existing tenements exceeded 300sqft. After its designation as a census slum, and in consideration of the prevailing conditions on the ground, it was deemed necessary to ensure that the residents receive adequate compensation for their participation in the scheme.
The spokesperson also mentioned that a portion of the sale FSI entitlement of the developer has been allocated to these residents, and 25% of the project land will be transferred to BMC for expansion of the STP.
Datta Narvankar, former Shiv Sena corporator from Worli, said that since the developer has offered the additional 260sqft from the sale component, slumdwellers have demanded that their sale agreements be registered right away. \
