Mumbai authorities have earmarked 540 acres of suburban land to relocate residents who are ineligible for rehousing under the Dharavi redevelopment project. This allocation is part of a larger effort to advance one of Asia’s most significant slum redevelopment initiatives. The designated land will provide housing for those who do not meet the current eligibility criteria of the Dharavi project.
This measure ensures that displaced residents receive appropriate accommodation, addressing the social and logistical challenges posed by the redevelopment. The Dharavi redevelopment aims to transform the area into a modern urban space with improved living conditions and infrastructure. However, the project has encountered obstacles due to the complex task of rehousing a large population with diverse eligibility requirements.
