Dharavi Redevelopment Project Pvt Ltd (DRPPL), the joint venture between the government of Maharashtra and the Adani group, is pulling out all stops to incentivise residents and commercial establishments in the slum cluster to ease the resettlement and rehabilitation process and make it more palatable to them. The $3 billion project is scheduled to be completed in seven years.
A number of sweeteners have already been offered and more are in the offing. It is not only the over one million residents in one of the largest slum clusters in the world, but also the large number of industries such as pottery, textiles, leather, and waste recycling, who will be affected. While the master plan for the project development has yet to be approved by the State government, the project will provide upskilling opportunities, vocational training, and education initiatives that are expected to open up new employment avenues for the residents.
