CIDCO Opens FCFS Scheme For 4,508 Ready Homes In Navi Mumbai

24 Nov 2025 CW Team

For the first time in its history, the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has launched a housing scheme on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis, offering 4,508 ready-to-move homes across five Navi Mumbai nodes. Online registrations open on 22 November at 4 pm, the corporation announced.

The scheme includes 1,115 homes for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) under PMAY and 3,393 homes for the Low-Income Group (LIG), located in Taloja, Dronagiri, Ghansoli, Kharghar and Kalamboli. Eligible EWS beneficiaries may also receive a subsidy of Rs 0.25 million under PMAY.

Describing the initiative as a “golden opportunity”, CIDCO vice-chairman and managing director Vijay Singhal said the FCFS format allows buyers to directly choose the unit they prefer, without a lottery draw. He added that the scheme gives applicants the freedom to “literally buy their dream home”.

According to CIDCO, all units are fully constructed, fitted with essential amenities, and located close to the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), with strong access to suburban rail, metro and highway networks. Once documentation is verified and full payment is made, possession will be granted immediately.

Applications can be submitted via the official portal, where unit sizes and pricing details are available. Applicants who register by 21 December may begin selecting their preferred homes from 28 December at 11 am. With allotment strictly on a first-come, first-served basis, CIDCO has encouraged home seekers to register early to secure their desired unit.
