MHADA CEO Orders Handover of Reserved DP Roads to BMC

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has taken a significant decision to handover the reserved DP roads in MHADA layouts to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s. This announcement was made by Sanjeev Jaiswal, IAS, Vice President and CEO of MHADA, during a meeting held at the MHADA headquarters. 

MHADA has a total of  114 layouts in Mumbai, many of which include roads reserved under BMC’s official Development Plan for public use. Recognizing the importance of these roads for public welfare, Jaiswal instructed the Executive Engineers and  Estate Managers to immediately hand over all reserved road  to BMC in their current state. The roads will be transferred as they are, whether clear of unauthorised structures or with existing encroachments.

This decision will ensure that the responsibility for the maintenance, repair, and management of these roads shifts entirely to BMC. It will also allow the civic body to align these roads with Mumbai’s overall Development Plan, enabling smoother road construction and improvements. For residents of MHADA layouts, this move is expected to speed up road development, improve maintenance, and enhance overall living conditions.

At present, many redevelopment and infrastructure projects are underway across Mumbai. However, the lack of proper handover of reserved roads has delayed several key projects. This issue had been flagged in multiple meetings in the past. By taking this decisive step, MHADA has resolved a long-pending issue that was slowing down city-wide development efforts.

Jaiswal emphasised that this decision will benefit residents by addressing a bottleneck in road development, ensuring that the civic body can focus on its long-term urban planning goals. The transfer of responsibility to BMC will also lead to more efficient road management in MHADA layouts, ultimately aligning with Mumbai’s broader infrastructure needs.
