MHADA Konkan Board Lottery Likely During Diwali 2026 With 2,500 Homes; 1,300 Units Under 20 Per Cent Housing Scheme

Mumbai, October 1, 2026 - The MHADA Konkan Board is set to hold its next housing lottery during Diwali, with the aim of providing approximately 2,500 homes to eligible applicants. According to a Konkan Board senior official, the announcement for the lottery is expected to be made during the Dussehra period. Out of the total homes, around 1,300 are anticipated to be allocated to MHADA by private developers under the 20% housing scheme.

These units, priced between Rs 20 lakh and Rs 25 lakh, will be distributed across the jurisdictions of Thane, Navi Mumbai, Kalyan-Dombivli and Vasai-Virar municipal corporations, targeting beneficiaries from economically weaker and low-income groups. The upcoming lottery may see an increase in the number of homes offered, as the Konkan Board is reviewing the possibility of including additional 20% scheme units from private developers' projects.

Additionally, homes that were allotted in previous lotteries but not accepted by beneficiaries, known as surrendered or unclaimed units, may also be considered for inclusion in the next lottery. However, the existing 20% scheme rules are currently under review. Following complaints of irregularities in the distribution process in Nashik and other areas, the government has decided to change the mechanism.

Starting from the next lottery, the 20% scheme homes will be sold through the respective local municipal bodies instead of being allotted through MHADA lotteries.
