urban renewal

MSRDC—best known for highways and major road projects—will set up a dedicated housing/slum redevelopment project unit to support Maharashtra’s “Slum-Free Mumbai” push. The mandate spans 45 projects across 97.713 acres and 24,226 tenements in multiple Mumbai pockets. The key story now is execution: whether a roads-focused agency can speed up complex brownfield redevelopment where surveys, eligibility checks, approvals, and funding often slow delivery.
