"Dharavi Redevelopment Construction to Begin in 6-8 Months"

Construction for the highly anticipated Dharavi Redevelopment Project, spanning nearly 600 acres in Mumbai, is set to begin within the next 6-8 months, according to SVR Srinivas, CEO of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) and the Slum Rehabilitation Authority, Government of Maharashtra.

Srinivas acknowledged the challenges of the project but remained optimistic, stating, “It’s a challenging project, but not impossible.” He added that the ongoing survey to assess the eligibility of tenement residents is expected to be completed by the end of March. So far, the survey has made significant progress, covering a substantial portion of the area.

The redevelopment aims to transform Dharavi into a modern urban space, addressing the area's housing and infrastructure needs.
