MHADA Launches EPC Tender for Jogeshwari’s PMGP Colony Redevelopment

This initiative follows the cancellation of a stalled private developer contract; it aims to house nearly 1,000 families in new units within three and a half years.

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) on June 17 initiated the tender process to appoint an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor for the redevelopment of the PMGP Colony in Poonam Nagar, Jogeshwari, a western suburb of Mumbai.

Overview

  • MHADA published the EPC tender on June 16 with bids due by July 7 for the redevelopment of the PMGP Colony in Poonam Nagar, Jogeshwari East.
  • The project will replace 17 dilapidated buildings spanning 27,625 sqm and rehouse 984 families in modern 450-square-foot units instead of their current 180-square-foot homes.
  • Originally built under the Prime Minister’s Grant Project between 1990 and 1992, the colony’s first private redevelopment effort appointed in 2010 was cancelled in December 2020 due to prolonged inaction.
  • After two failed tender rounds in July and September 2024, MHADA secured government approval on May 28, 2025 to implement the scheme directly and complete it in approximately three and a half years.
  • MHADA chief Sanjeev Jaiswal says the loss-making project is driven by humanitarian grounds, and a separate tender for Kamathipura’s cluster redevelopment was issued on June 12.
