Mumbai's Dharavi, a densely populated slum, is slated for a massive urban renewal initiative, aiming to mirror modern housing developments seen in Singapore and Hong Kong. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has emphasized that the project, a partnership with the Adani Group, prioritizes the holistic development and well-being of Dharavi's residents.
The initial phase of this ambitious project is targeted for completion by March 2028, with a goal of delivering at least 10,000 homes to eligible residents. The redevelopment also focuses on preserving Dharavi's distinct industrial and social ecosystem, including its cultural heritage sites like Kumbharwada, the pottery hub.
Further enhancing the project, India's first multi-modal transport hub will be integrated, connecting various railway networks and Metro lines, with future links to the bullet train. This hub will also feature a city check-in facility for air passengers and incorporate elements for water transport and potential air taxi services, aiming to give Mumbai a new global identity.
