Overview
- Officials said Saturday that more than 91,000 households have finished surveys, notices have been issued for Sector 6 on railway land, and hundreds of families have already shifted into transit accommodation.
- The state says roughly 10,000 rehabilitation homes are planned in the project’s first phase and that the first rehabilitation building on railway land is targeted for handover by the end of 2028.
- Authorities pledge free in‑situ rehabilitation for eligible residents and have identified alternate land across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region for people who cannot be accommodated inside Dharavi.
- The redevelopment pairs construction with a Dharavi Social Mission offering livelihood training, education, health outreach and rent assistance to keep people connected to work and services during the move.
- Planners are using a Digital Twin, multilingual AI help and international design firms, and the project includes environmental measures such as planting 40,000 trees inside Dharavi and Mithi river rejuvenation while the SRA sets wider targets for 5.09 lakh rehabilitation homes across Mumbai by 2030.
