BMC Stalls Mulund Land Lease for Dharavi Project
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) Improvements Committee has stalled a proposal to lease 15 acres of land in Mulund for setting up a casting yard and a ready-mix concrete (RMC) plant.
This land was intended for the redevelopment project of the Dharavi slum.
The committee raised environmental concerns and sent the proposal back to the civic administration for further review.
The project involves Navbharat Mega Developers Private Limited (NMDPL), which is majority-owned by Adani Properties Private Limited (APPL) and partially by the state government’s Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA).
The BMC plans to earn over ₹103 crore in rental revenue from the lease over five years, with the developer responsible for site remediation and obtaining necessary clearances.
