Mumbai Witnesses Surge in Redevelopment Projects, MoEFCC Data Reveals

06 Mar 2025 CW Team

As per official records, more than 30 proposals were submitted in December 2023 alone, with developers seeking clearance for large-scale construction projects. The proposals, aimed at modernising existing structures, were primarily filed under environmental scrutiny to meet regulatory compliance.

Some of the prominent projects include: proposed development redevelopment project by Imtiaz Kanga – TOR granted; redevelopment of existing structures by Pravindra Kataria – TOR granted; and slum rehabilitation expansion by Sushant Sunil Bharadkar, which is under review.

The MoEFCC data indicates that around 40 per cent of the submitted proposals have been granted Terms of Reference (TOR), allowing developers to proceed with the next stage of approvals. Several projects, however, remain under evaluation, awaiting full environmental clearance before construction begins.

While redevelopment is seen as a necessary step to accommodate Mumbai’s growing population, concerns about environmental sustainability persist. Experts have pointed out the potential risks related to waste management, green cover reduction, and ecological disturbances caused by large-scale demolition and construction activities.

The projects that have received TOR grants will now undergo further assessments to ensure they meet environmental standards. Authorities have emphasised the need for stringent monitoring to balance urban expansion with sustainability. The final decision on environmental clearance for pending projects is expected in the coming months.

This surge in redevelopment activity marks a significant phase in Mumbai’s urban planning, with authorities closely watching how these projects will reshape the city’s skyline and infrastructure.
