Mumbai: BMC To build 35,000 homes For Project-Affected Residents

Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to acquire around 35,000 housing units over the next five years as part of its rehabilitation drive for project-affected persons (PAP) across Mumbai. Of these, nearly 23,000 units will be concentrated in the Andheri and Malad areas, making them key locations for the resettlement effort.

Several bottlenecks in the alignment of existing roads are leading to severe traffic congestion, while encroachments within drainage channels (nullahs) are further delaying key road-widening projects. A major challenge for many infrastructure initiatives is PAPs, who are often reluctant to hand over land or relocate, slowing down implementation. To address this, rehabilitation housing is planned for PAPs in Bhandup and Mulund East, where new homes will be constructed to facilitate smoother project execution.
