Overview
- Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated the 22,500-square-foot Dharavi Experience Centre on October 2, 2026 to present the proposed redevelopment to residents in a tangible way.
- The facility features life-size sample flats of 350 sq ft and 500 sq ft, a 3D township walkthrough and interactive displays that illustrate planned housing, a multimodal transport hub, parks and a 3.3 km riverfront.
- Project authorities say eligible residential tenement holders will receive 350 sq ft of carpet area free in the Dharavi Notified Area and that eligibility is being determined through ongoing door-to-door and mapped surveys.
- Execution of the redevelopment has been assigned to Adani Navbharat Developers under a reported joint-venture structure with the state holding 20% and the Adani Group 80%, while the DRP/SRA remains the government implementing body.
- Officials describe the centre as a trust-building step to preserve Dharavi’s dense live-work economy, to give small manufacturers planned workspaces, and to help residents complete survey and rehabilitation paperwork before construction begins.
