The Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) has provided 97,368 homes to project-affected persons (PAPs in Mumbai) since it was set up in 1995, according to official records. These houses were built under slum redevelopment projects across the city.
Under the slum redevelopment policy, developers are required to construct additional housing units for PAPs. The number of such homes depends on the density of the slum being redeveloped. Each rehabilitation unit costs INR 12.5 lakh. These homes are handed over to implementing agencies such as the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) or the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), depending on the project’s needs.
In recent months, 95 homes have been allotted to PAPs affected by the Thane–Borivali Twin Tunnels project. Another 135 homes for the same project are currently under construction.
The SRA has also provided 111 homes for the rehabilitation of encroachers from the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). The relocation of these families has been pending for decades and has been addressed through multiple Bombay High Court (HC) orders.
Data on overall allotments shows that 51,888 housing units were transferred to the MMRDA, while 26,762 homes were handed over to the BMC. A total of 11,429 families were rehabilitated due to metro-related projects. Another 8,909 homes were allotted directly to PAPs by the SRA.
