DLF's Mumbai project set to launch soon as RERA gives green light to first phase with 416 premium apartments

Hindustan Times17-06-2025
DLF has received approval from the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) for the first phase of its upcoming premium residential project in Mumbai's Andheri area. The approved phase will comprise 416 apartments across four towers.
Sources told HT.com that the RERA approval was granted on June 16, and the project is expected to be launched soon.
DLF announced its re-entry into the Mumbai real estate market in July 2023. The company's first project in the city will be developed in partnership with the Trident Group under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority scheme.
In 2005, DLF had purchased 17 acres of prime mill land in Lower Parel at a National Textile Corporation auction for ₹704 crore, the highest bid at the time. After the 2008 economic crisis, it changed its plans and sold the land to Lodha, also known as Macrotech Developers, for ₹2,700 crore in 2012.

The approved first phase of DLF's 'The WestPark' project in Andheri comprises 3, 4 and 5 BHK apartments across four towers, along with a limited number of studio units.
As per details on the MahaRERA portal, the 3, 4, and 5 BHK apartments range in size from 1,048 sq. ft. to 2,278 sq. ft., while the five studio units measure approximately 236 sq. ft. each.
The project's proposed completion date is June 2032. The four RERA-approved towers are planned for a plot area of 7,788 sq. metres.
Meanwhile, an email query has been sent to DLF. If a response is received, the story will be updated.

Ahead of its first project launch in the Mumbai real estate market, DLF's joint managing director Aakash Ohri said in March 2025 that the company is 'careful, cautious, and confident' but not 'overconfident' about the upcoming launch.
Speaking about the launch of the Mumbai project, Ohri had said, "Doubt is the last thing on my mind. I can promise you very, very clearly, no doubt at all, we are very excited, extremely excited about new geography and new challenges. We are confident and not overconfident."
"I am just careful and cautious. To be cautious cannot be misconstrued as having doubt. If I had a doubt, I would never enter any market," he had said.
In September 2024, Ohri had told HT.com that DLF is here to stay in Mumbai and everyone is our competitor.

"Right now, I will say that everyone is our competitor in Mumbai. I am coming from outside, and I have to say this. The company will essentially do what other developers are doing in the Mumbai real estate market when it comes to real estate projects. But what we will do differently is that we will package our product differently," Ohri had told HT.com

Autorickshaw union plans to launch app to tackle refusal menace in Mumbai

Mumbai: The Mumbai Rickshawmen's Union on Sunday announced its plan to launch an app aimed at combating the refusal menace. The app will assure commuters of a ride and allow autorickshaw bookings while ensuring payment is made only by the RTO-approved meter. Union leader Thampy Kurien, who proposed the idea to the transport department, is set to demonstrate it to officials at Mantralaya this week. "Unlike Ola and Uber, our app will not calculate fares that are low, very high, or dynamic in nature. It will merely book an auto and ensure pickup from your doorstep or wherever you are waiting. After the pickup, the driver will flag down the meter and take you to the destination, collecting the actual fare as per the meter, " Kurien told TOI.

It will seek MMRTA approval for any fare above the RTO-approved meter fare, said Kurien. He explained that the app's necessity arises after a series of refusals by auto drivers. Police statistics indicate there were nearly 4.7 lakh challans in 2024 for refusals by autos and taxis, with auto refusals accounting for over 70%. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Interested in Investing?

Kurien further indicated that he plans to challenge Ola and Uber autorickshaws operations in the city in Bombay high court. These vehicles do not operate by the meter despite drivers possessing state badges and permits, which require that vehicles function "only by the meter". Uber and Ola officials were unavailable for comment. Kurien also plans to petition the transport department to regulate autorickshaw operations outside railway stations. "At present, there are three different groups of autos – one which stands in queue and picks up passengers with no questions asked, the other which picks up while on the go, and a third group of cartel which parks autos at a distance and demands hefty share fares for popular destinations such as Linking Road, beaches, waterfronts, promenades, etc," he said. "We want govt to have a single queue outside all railway stations. If autorickshaws do not want to join this queue, they will have to drop passengers and leave the station precincts immediately. Those in queue should observe discipline and ferry all passengers – short or long distance," he added.
