Dharavi Redevelopment Project Private Limited (DRPPL), a joint venture between the Government of Maharashtra and Adani Group, is the developer of the housing and commercial tenancy and will hand it over to the DRP/SRA of the state government for allotment. Survey findings.

Sources have strongly refuted the recent allegations made by Mumbai North Central MP Varsha Gaikwad over land allotment for resettlement of Dharavi residents within Mumbai.

Sources said that as per the tender, while the land remains and is allotted to DRP/SRA at the rates decided by the government, DRPPL will have to pay the government only as per the demand for development. This is as per the tender scheme.

In return DRPPL will get development rights.The State Support Agreement, which is part of the tender document, clearly states that, the State Government will support the project by giving land to its own DRP/SRA department. Details of many more important government proposals on Dharavi redevelopment can be obtained from the concerned MP several times. It has been told.

These include the GRs (Government Resolutions) of 2018 and later 2022, which give complete clarity about the proposed redevelopment of Dharavi and the upcoming rehabilitation of Dharavikars.

As far as the railway land is concerned, it was allotted to DRP even before the tender was given, for which DRPPL has paid a huge premium of 170 per cent at the prevailing ready reckoner rates. And also there is a world class township. Is also developing.The allegation that Dharavikars will be driven out of Dharavi and made homeless is a figment of imagination and a mere fantasy to create anxiety among the public.

The government's GR 2022 reflects a unique condition that every tenant in Dharavi, eligible or ineligible, will be given a house, a copy of which is also publicly available.

A source said, “No Dharavikar will be displaced under the DRP/SRA scheme. This is a unique provision compared to the regular SRA scheme, in which houses up to 300 sq ft were provided only to eligible tenants and it It has remained the same in all previous government regimes." Said.Under the Dharavi redevelopment project, tenants will be provided with 350 sq ft houses, which is 17 per cent more than any other SRA scheme in Mumbai.

According to sources, the Dharavi redevelopment tender is one of the most progressive in terms of its approach towards the informal residents of Dharavi.

It is completely pro-people which includes free and highly subsidized housing, exemption in stamp duty and property tax, ten years of free maintenance and ten percent commercial area in the residential complex so that the prospective housing societies get a sustainable revenue stream in addition to this. Is possible. Sources said that funds are being made available. The eligibility for in-situ rehabilitation for houses existing on the ground floor before January 1, 2000 has been clearly stated in the GR and tender of 2018, 2022.As of January 1, 2011, those occupying higher floors and above will be allotted houses under PMAY for only Rs 2.5 lakh anywhere within the MMR outside Dharavi or rental housing as per the policy of the Government of Maharashtra.

Tenants who came into existence between January 1, 2011 and a date to be announced by the Maharashtra government will get houses with a hire-purchase option under the proposed affordable rental housing policy of the state government. Demand for 500 sq. ft. for informal settlement Mumbai's slum redevelopment plans have no such priority and thus it is being promoted only to create anxiety among the people.

For eligible tenants of businesses, the government scheme provides a fair free commercial space as well as a five-year state GST exemption which will result in increasing their profitability, incorporating them into the formal economy, making them more competitive And provide them many opportunities for development.

On deliverables, the tender has strict timelines and any violation will attract penalties.On the allegation that the Kurla land was allotted by the state government without following proper procedure, sources clarified that the facts are different.

First of all, the land will be given to DRP and not to Adani Group nor to DRPPL.

The procedure under Maharashtra Land Revenue (Disposition of Government Land) Rules, 1971 was duly followed before issuing the concerned GR. “The genuine concern and fear of the MP is not for the people of Dharavi or their well-being. Such fake The stories are being opposed and spread only for electoral ambitions to keep the people of Dharavi in ​​the same condition as they have been with poor or as one source said, "little or no access to basic amenities to live a dignified life." is almost zero.This is why no action was taken to create proper housing for the squatters for so many decades."

The MP (referring to Varsha Gaikwad) is also attempting to create a false narrative and obstruct the functioning of the state government's plan for redevelopment of Dharavi, while its residents have been waiting for decades for better homes with world-class amenities. Are, added the formula.

The Dharavi Redevelopment Project is a first-of-its-kind initiative that seeks to transform the locality into a world-class city, creating a sustainable and thriving neighborhood while preserving its timeless essence. The project aims to transform Dharavi's million-plus population through a human-centred approach. Wants to improve the quality of life of more than 100 residents.
