At least 15 hectares of government land were transferred to MMRDA in Kanjur to support the construction of the car shed depot for Metro Line 6, while 59.79 hectares of government land in Dongri was received to serve the same purpose for metro lines 7, 7A, and 9. Similarly, around 47 hectares of land in Nilje was granted to MMRDA to aid the development of the car shed depot for metro line 12. Also, MMRDA obtained approval from the Maharashtra government in October 2023 for the transfer of 174.01 hectares of land in Mogharpada for metro lines 4, 4A, 10, and 11 out of which 41.5 hectares earmarked for depot.
Slum Redevelopment Scheme for Ramabai Nagar-
MMRDA said that it has undertaken the "Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar Redevelopment Scheme" to enforce slum redevelopment. This joint venture with SRA will allow MMRDA to welcome meaningful development opportunities in Ghatkopar (East). The slum area in the designated region accounts for about 33.15 hectares with an existing population of approximately 16575 slum dwellers. All these individuals will benefit from the rehabilitation measures that come under the SR scheme and MMRDA will offer tenements to about 5000 Project Affected Persons (PAPs). Also, 11 ongoing Slum Redevelopment Schemes that are approved by MMRDA will deliver 11,445 tenements upon completion. In 2023, the SDC of MMRDA facilitated the allocation of 560 new tenements to PAPs associated with metro projects.
NTDA for MTHL-
It is said that MMRDA will lead the initiatives of improvement as the NTDA by creating new jobs and elevating housing infrastructure, thereby welcoming a new wave of development in the said regions. It said that it has completed the tendering process for the allotment of commercial plots in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).
In an official statement, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde said, "Many of our dreams for the betterment of the lives and livelihoods of Mumbaikars have been fulfilled this year through the contribution of MMRDA, and we are elated to step into another year of progress."
