MHADA Plans Rental Housing and Delays Lottery
MHADA is working on a new plan to provide rental homes, especially for people with lower incomes, focusing on the Mumbai area.
The plan will include rules and rent prices, and will be ready in about a month.
They are also delaying their housing lottery until 2026 because they don't have enough homes ready, and the city is expecting more people to move there.
MHADA also launched an AI chatbot called 'MHADASathi' for citizens.
MHADA is developing a new rental housing policy for the MMR.
The policy draft is expected within a month.
The housing lottery has been deferred to March-April 2026.
The delay is due to a lack of available housing stock.
MHADA launched an AI-powered chatbot 'MHADASathi' on Thursday.
