Mhada invites tenders for cluster redevelopment of Kamathipura, Mumbai
The Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board (MBRRB), a unit of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada), has issued a tender for the cluster redevelopment of Kamathipura in South Mumbai. The redevelopment of dilapidated cessed and non-cessed buildings and plots in lanes numbered 1 to 15 of Kamathipura will be carried out in an integrated manner under Regulation 33(9) of the Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) 2034 through the MBRRB. The Kamathipura area, spread across 34 acres in South Mumbai, includes approximately 943 cessed buildings in lanes 1 to 15, with around 6,625 residential and 1,376 non-residential tenants/residents, totalling 8,001. There are about 800 landowners in the area. The buildings in this region are approximately 100 years old. The total net plot area of this region is approximately 73,144.84 square metres (sq m). Government approval for the Kamathipura cluster redevelopment project was granted via a government resolution on 12 January 2023. Based on this, tenders were invited for planning the project, and Mahimtura Consultants were appointed for the same. The project blueprint has been developed under the title Kamathipura Cluster Redevelopment Project – Urban Village. The project will also include commercial buildings and recreational grounds. Additionally, through this project, 44,000 sq m of land will be made available to Mhada through the selected bidder, resulting in a significant increase in housing stock. The developer will receive 5,67,000 sq m of development rights, where a housing stock of approximately 4,500 new units is expected to be constructed. According to Square Yards Data Intelligence, considering the sales transactions in Kamathipura in Q1 CY25, the property rate stood at ₹13,980 per sq ft, against ₹13,508 per sq ft in Q1 CY24. A decision to compensate landowners in the Kamathipura area was taken as per the government resolution dated 2 July 2024. One housing unit of 500 sq ft area will be provided for land plots measuring up to 50 sq m, two such units for plots measuring between 51 and 100 sq m, three units for plots between 101 and 150 sq m, four units for plots between 151 and 200 sq m, and for every additional 50 sq m beyond 200 sq m, one additional unit of 500 sq ft will be provided to the landowners. The Kamathipura cluster redevelopment would be the third significant project in Mumbai after the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP)—a slum redevelopment project in association with the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA)—and the Motilal Nagar Redevelopment Project in Goregaon West, where the developer was appointed by Mhada through a bidding process. Both Dharavi and Motilal Nagar are being executed through the realty arm of the Adani Group. The cost of DRP has been estimated to be around ₹95,790 crore, while the Adani Group won the bid for Motilal Nagar for ₹36,000 crore.

MHADA invites tenders for cluster redevelopment of Kamathipura
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has invited tenders to appoint a Construction and Development Agency for the cluster redevelopment of Kamathipura, which will be implemented by the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board (MBRRB), a unit of MHADA. Kamathipura is one of South Mumbai's oldest and most historically significant neighbourhoods. The MBRRB aims to provide permanent, safe and upgraded homes to 8,001 residents and compensate 800 landowners. The locality spans across 34 acres and consists of a narrow and aging colony which accommodates approximately 943 cessed buildings in 15 lanes. Most of these buildings are almost a century old. The scheme now represents a deviation from redevelopment of individual buildings to cluster renewal, as per Regulation 33(9) of the Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) 2034. The redevelopment project of this cluster, supported by the Government of Maharashtra, will be conducted under the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister and Housing Minister Eknath Shinde. It is also being actively supported by Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar, MP Arvind Sawant, MLA Amin Patel, as well as local residents. An official from MBRRB said, 'Upon completion, the project will reshape Kamathipura into a contemporary urban village. There will be not only residential apartments but commercial areas, recreational grounds and better infrastructure too.' As per the official, 44,000 square metres of land will be transferred to MHADA by the chosen developer. Approximately 4,500 new homes will be introduced into the city's housing stock through the redevelopment. The government approved the cluster redevelopment project through a resolution dated January 12, 2023, after which Mahimtura Consultants were engaged to prepare the blueprint. The project has been given the title 'Kamathipura Cluster Redevelopment – Urban Village.' The compensation for landowners has also been outlined by MHADA. According to a July 2024 government resolution, the landowners will be given dwelling units as per the landholding size, from a single 500 square feet unit for plots up to 50 square metres, to extra units for larger plots. 'The process of tendering is the first big step towards reviving Kamathipura and enhancing the lives of its inhabitants. MHADA wishes this project to act as a model for urban regeneration in heritage neighborhoods throughout Mumbai,' said the official.

MHADA To Give Rs 20,000 Monthly Rent To Tenants Of 96 Unsafe Cessed Buildings In Mumbai
Along with this, MHADA will also lease 400 small flats through private agencies to serve as temporary homes for affected families. In big relief for hundreds of families living in crumbling old buildings across Mumbai, the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board (MBRRB), a part of MHADA, has rolled out a support plan just ahead of the monsoon. After its routine pre-monsoon inspection, the Board has identified 96 cessed buildings as extremely unsafe to live in. Nearly 2,400 tenants and residents currently stay in these buildings, many of which are in poor condition and pose serious risk during heavy rains. To help them move to safer places, MHADA will give Rs 20,000 per month to residents who find their own alternate accommodation. This financial support aims to ease the immediate stress of relocating from homes that are no longer safe. Along with this, MHADA will also lease 400 small flats through private agencies to serve as temporary homes for affected families. These transit tenements, sized between 180 to 250 square feet, will be available on rent for three years. MHADA Vice President and CEO Sanjeev Jaiswal (IAS) has asked the Board to float public advertisements inviting private landlords to provide these flats. Currently, the Board has just 786 vacant transit homes, which is far from enough for all those who need urgent relocation. The decision to rent more units and provide rent money is part of a quick action plan to protect residents before the monsoon worsens. Notably, the full cost of this support — both the monthly rent and rental homes — will be recovered from the private developers or housing societies handling the redevelopment of these buildings. This includes rent, maintenance, and all other charges, starting from the date families receive this support. Mumbai has around 13,091 cessed buildings, many of which are decades old and face regular repair and safety issues. MBRRB currently manages 20,591 transit homes to house people evacuated due to structural repairs, collapses, demolition for road work, or rebuilding of narrow-plot structures. With this timely decision, MHADA hopes to protect vulnerable residents and make sure they are not left without shelter during the tough monsoon season. The Board has urged residents of these dangerous buildings to act quickly and cooperate with officials so that everyone can be moved to safer places without delay.

Mumbai: MHADA cuts RR charges for additional area for tenants of old cessed buildings
NEW DELHI: Eligible original tenants and residents listed in the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board's (MBRRB) master list will now be charged only 100% of the ready reckoner rate, instead of the earlier 110%, for the additional area allotted beyond the permissible or original area of their old residential units, said Sanjeev Jaiswal , vice president and CEO of MHADA . This relief will be applied retrospectively to beneficiaries declared eligible in the December 2023 lottery. Jaiswal has directed that a new policy framework be finalized by April 28, 2025. Jaiswal said, "In many old and dangerous buildings, only the upper floors are demolished, leaving ground floor tenants in uncertainty. These residents were not previously regarded as eligible. We are going to change that; tenants on the ground floor will now be listed on the Master List and will also get the compensation they are due." MHADA is currently conducting a biometric survey of transit camp residents in order to categorize them into Categories A, B, and C in accordance with the Government Resolution dated September 13, 2019. MHADA CEO ordered that residents of Category A, whose original building cannot be rebuilt, be given preference when it comes to being added to the Master List. Furthermore, he directed that if the redevelopment of dangerous cessed buildings is stalled, tenants/residents should be offered the option to be added to the master list. This includes those living in buildings acquired by MHADA post-Notice under Section 91(A). Jaiswal also instructed the concerned departments to hold a new lottery within six months to determine eligibility and allot permanent homes to 100 tenants/residents from old cessed buildings. The December 2023 lottery was organised in five categories based on tenement size: 91 tenements of 401–500 sq ft, 28 tenements of 300–316 sq ft, seven tenements of 501–601 sq ft, one tenement of 701–753 sq ft, and 125 tenements of 301–500 sq ft. MHADA will hold a 10-day special camp to issue allotment letters to successful beneficiaries.
