Mumbai has seen a growing interest in self-redevelopment of housing societies, according to Pravin Darekar, a BJP MLA and chairman of the Maharashtra Housing Self/Redevelopment Authority. Darekar introduced the self-redevelopment scheme for middle-class families through Mumbai District Central Cooperative Bank. The issue recently reached the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, where corporators have pushed for the promotion of self-redevelopment.
A study group he heads has recommended that urban planning policies should focus on creating affordable housing without putting excessive pressure on infrastructure. They have also identified certain provisions in the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (UDCPR) that could hinder self-redevelopment, and submitted their recommendations to the state government.
Darekar noted that the state's housing policy emphasizes self-redevelopment, but there are inconsistencies with the DCPR/UDCPR, and his authority is working to address these differences. He plans to discuss these issues with the Navi Mumbai mayor, group leaders, corporators, and municipal commissioner, and aims to boost self-redevelopment efforts across Maharashtra.
