The Maharashtra government decided to redevelop Dharavi as an integrated planned township, and the implementation of Dharavi redevelopment was approved. This is Asia’s largest slum which is to be developed by using land resources to subsidize the cost.
Furthermore, the government has also decided to announce Dharavi as an undeveloped area and to appoint SPA, a Special Planning Authority for its new planning, development, and implementation of the area. Hence, this project will rehabilitate the existing 6.5 lakh, slum dwellers, in seven years, and now as Adani group has won this project, so they are able to sell residential and commercial space in the area.
The Dharavi redevelopment project has been on hold for two decades. Dharavi is considered one of the largest slums in the world, and for its redevelopment, it requires a massive investment of money.
