State Clears 34-Acre Kamathipura Redevelopment; Tenants to Get 2 BHK Homes

18 Nov 2025 CW Team

Rewritten News (UK English): The Maharashtra government’s high-powered committee has approved the redevelopment of the 34-acre Kamathipura precinct in Mumbai, marking progress on a long-pending urban renewal project in one of the city’s most congested neighbourhoods.

Under the approved plan, a Pune-based consortium will undertake the cluster-redevelopment work. Each eligible tenant will receive a two-bedroom flat with a minimum 500 sq ft carpet area, while landlords will be allotted similar units for every 50 sq metres of land owned.

Kamathipura contains nearly 800 dilapidated buildings, and the scheme includes constructing high-rise rehabilitation and sale towers, with some structures proposed to rise to 57 and 78 storeys.

The redevelopment aims to transform the dense and ageing locality into a modern, planned residential zone with improved living conditions for thousands of residents.
