MHADA to Bid Out 480 Acres for Redevelopment in Mumbai's Western Suburbs

Mumbai, April 18: Earlier this month, MHADA floated tenders for three major projects covering a total of 206.49 acres.

Active Tenders (Current Phase)

The three projects currently open for bidding are Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Nagar in Andheri covering 73.89 acres, Bandra Reclamation covering 98.27 acres, and Adarsh Nagar in Worli covering 34.33 acres. These projects will be executed under the Construction and Development Agreement (CDA) model. Developers have until May 13, 2026 to submit their bids.

Upcoming Projects (Next Phase)

The next phase will cover Ram Krishna Nagar in Khar (6 acres), Old MHB Colony in Borivali (26 acres), Gorai in Borivali (200 acres), and Charkop in Kandivali (250 acres). Proposals to invite bids for these four locations will be sent to the state cabinet soon.

Overall Scale

Sanjeev Jaiswal, Vice President and CEO of MHADA, announced that a year from now, a total of 923 acres of 11 projects in Mumbai will be in different stages of redevelopment. This 923 acres excludes the BDD Chawl redevelopment project and Aaram Nagar in Versova.

Depending on project size, rehabilitation of residents is expected to take five to seven years from the start of redevelopment.

Already Awarded Projects

Several cluster redevelopment projects have already been awarded, including PMGP Colony in Jogeshwari East, Abhyudaya Nagar in Kalachowkie, Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar in Sion, and Kamathipura near Mumbai Central. With the master plan ready, redevelopment of Motilal Nagar 1, 2 and 3 in Goregaon West, spread over 143 acres, is set to begin soon.

In total, around 80,747 tenements are expected to be impacted across these cluster redevelopment initiatives.

Model

The plan forms part of the state government's broader strategy to redevelop nearly one-fifth of Mumbai's habitable land. Under the model, MHADA will retain ownership of the land while granting leasehold development rights to private developers.
