MUMBAI: Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) will soon appoint architectural and project management consultant (PMC) for redevelopment of Rama nagar slum pocket on Eastern Express Highway at Ghatkopar.
MMRDA has already floated bids to appoint these consultants for the project which will be jointly executed by Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA).
SRA will conduct a survey of the slum dwellers and It will also be responsible for handing over vacant possession of the land to MMRDA.
Ramabai nagar is spread across 33.15 Hectares of land and has approximately 16575 slum tenements.
Under the project, these slum dwellers will be provided rehabilitation while MMRDA will get 5000 tenements to house project affected people displaced by various works underway in Mumbai.
A MMRDA official sad, “Instead of constructing sale component, if rights of sale component are auctioned in open market, MMRDA will get profit. Moreover, free of cost land will be available for Eastern Freeway extension from Chheda Nagar to Thane project.”
This marks the first time that MMRDA will undertake slum redevelopment. Previously, it had implemented a rental housing project in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) by granting a high floor space index (FSI) to builders, with the housing stock then allocated to project-affected people (PAPs).
The highlights of the scheme are as below
