The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is set to build over 7,00,000 houses in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) in the next five years, including around 5,50,000 in the city, MHADA Vice Chairman and CEO Sanjeev Jaiswal said.
These houses will include affordable houses sold through lottery, inclusive housing projects, redevelopment projects, renovation of Prime Minister Grant-in-Aid Project (PMGP) colonies and cluster redevelopments implemented by the Housing Authority.
According to information obtained by Hindustan Times from the Housing Authority, 1,20,864 houses are expected to be built through redevelopment of cessed buildings in South Mumbai under Section 33(7) of the Development Control Rules.

These projects will include rehabilitation components, free sale components for developers and units given to MHADA.
