What is the MHADA Lottery?
The MHADA lottery is a government-run housing allocation system in Maharashtra, where affordable homes are allotted to applicants from different income groups through a computerized draw. This lottery is conducted annually by MHADA and covers cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Nashik, Nagpur, and others.
MHADA did not conduct its annual lottery for Mumbai in 2025. However, in 2024, more than 2,000 affordable homes were offered, with prices ranging from INR 29 lakh to INR 6.82 crore.
Apartments for the high-income group were priced between INR 1 crore and INR 6 crore or more. These homes were located in areas such as Andheri, Antop Hill, Juhu, Goregaon, Tardeo, Vikhroli, and Powai.
The most expensive unit offered in the 2024 MHADA lottery was in Tardeo, South Mumbai, priced at INR 6.82 crore, with a size of over 1,500 square feet.
