Overview

• The Slum Rehabilitation Authority will identify eligible clusters where more than 51% of the area is occupied by slums, with vetting by a high-level committee chaired by the Additional Chief Secretary (Housing).
• Projects may proceed via government joint ventures, tendered private developers, or a developer already holding over 40% of cluster land subject to government approval.
• The policy permits FSI up to 4 or higher solely for rehabilitating slum dwellers or other project-affected persons, drawing on incentives under relevant development regulations.
• Clusters can include central or PSU land with consent, private landowners may receive developed plots worth roughly half their land value, and non-participating parcels may be acquired under the 2013 land acquisition law at the developer’s cost.
• For coastal areas, CRZ-I slum clusters will be relocated with vacated land used for public amenities, while CRZ-II sites may include sale components as allowed under Mumbai’s development rules; separately, a Rs 500 crore Sewage Treatment and Reuse Policy will roll out across 424 urban local bodies.
