Mumbai slum redevelopment: SRA targets 5.1 lakh rehabilitation homes by 2030
Maharashtra's SRA aims to build over five lakh homes by December 2030. The authority plans cluster redevelopment and measures to revive stalled projects. Digital services and Netram system enhance project monitoring and efficiency. The Dharavi redevelopment project targets completion by 2033. This initiative includes economic rehabilitation for local businesses and improved infrastructure.
The Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) in Mumbai has set an ambitious target of constructing 5,09,873 rehabilitation homes by December 2030 as part of the Maharashtra government's efforts to accelerate slum redevelopment projects across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. SRA CEO Mahendra Kalyankar outlined these targets during a presentation at a national conference organized by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and Niti Aayog.
The authority has broken down the targets year-wise, with 90,264 homes planned for December 2026, 1,48,219 for December 2027, and so on, culminating in the 5,09,873 target for 2030. To achieve these targets, the SRA has introduced measures such as an amnesty scheme, joint partnership models, and the appointment of developers through tenders.
The authority has also identified 19 locations for cluster redevelopment, with three locations in the initial phase: Behrampada in Bandra East, Majaswadi in Andheri, and Behram Baug in Oshiwara. These projects will be implemented through joint partnerships involving agencies like the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), and City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO).
