Slum redevelopment on Mumbai airport land gets state govt approval

The Maharashtra government has permitted Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) to redevelop slums on Mumbai airport land.

MIAL is a joint venture between the Airport Authority of India and Adani Airports that operates Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.

The state urban development department issued a notice on Tuesday permitting it to redevelop slums on airport land.

The Mumbai airport was given to MIAL on a 30-year lease in 2006 and covered an area of 1,875 acres. The rehabilitation of slum-dwellers will free 200 acres for aeronautical and commercial development.

The officials say that the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport Notified Area (CSIANA) comprises large areas under slums, posing a security threat in the vicinity of airport operations.

The civil aviation ministry had given in-principle approval for in-situ rehabilitation of slums in 2014 and requested an airport-specific slum rehabilitation scheme.

A new regulation permits MIAL to carry out redevelopment through slum rehabilitation schemes. The eligible hutment dwellers may be rehabilitated by being moved to another location within the airport land or outside, as far as possible within the limits of Greater Mumbai or Mumbai metropolitan region. There are over 80,000 slum households on the airport land, according to the estimates.

Additionally, MIAL’s decision will be final and binding on everyone regarding the proportion and location of the land area used for the rehabilitation component and amenity component.

The maximum floor space index (FSI) that is allowed for the slum scheme is four or the maximum required for rehabilitation. FSI is a ratio that defines how much can be constructed on a plot.

MIAL shall be qualified for land Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) two times the land used for ex-situ rehabilitation. The TDR will be released in four tranches after several levels of construction are completed.

Slums on land required for airport development, pavement dwellers, open spaces shall not get in-situ rehabilitation. Also, scrap godowns, commercial godowns, cowsheds, hazardous units will not be rehabilitated in-situ.
