Dharavi's ₹95,790 crore makeover: 5 things to know about the Master Plan approved by the Maharashtra government
The Dharavi Redevelopment Master Plan received the state government's approval on May 28, according to a statement from the office of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The Master Plan details the redevelopment and rehabilitation of Dharavi, India's largest slum cluster. Here are five things that you need to know about the Master Plan of the Dharavi redevelopment project. The Master Plan will serve as a comprehensive blueprint for integrating residential, commercial, and industrial spaces while rehabilitating residents in Dharavi. It aims to modernise infrastructure while preserving Dharavi's socio-economic fabric. Spanning over 600 acres, Dharavi is all set to undergo a facelift, with nearly 300 acres marked specifically for redevelopment and rehabilitation. In January 2024, Navbharat Mega Developers Private Limited (NMDPL), a joint venture between the Maharashtra government and the Adani Group, appointed renowned architect Hafeez Contractor to lead the redevelopment initiative.

Out of the 72,000 tenants, over 13,000 units are non-residential tenants, and the balance are residential tenants. As per Maharashtra's Slum Rehabilitation Act, each eligible resident of Dharavi will receive one rehabilitation unit, regardless of the number of tenements they own. These units will be 350 sq. ft. in size, an upgrade from the 300 sq. ft. units provided in other slum redevelopment projects. Residents deemed ineligible for rehabilitation within Dharavi will be relocated to rental housing complexes outside the area under a hire-purchase arrangement. According to the Master Plan of the Dharavi notified area, which covers a total of 251 hectares, the net developable area is 108.99 hectares, which is slightly above 269 acres. Out of the total 108.99 hectares, 47.20 hectares are reserved for the rehabilitation of Dharavi residents. Another 47.95 hectares are reserved for a saleable component, where residential, commercial, and retail units will be sold in the open market. The Master Plan also reserves around 40 hectares, or around 99 acres, for open spaces.

The door-to-door survey is being undertaken to identify the tenants' eligibility. The authorities are expecting to complete the entire door-to-door survey in the next two months. According to the Master Plan of the Dharavi redevelopment project, the rehab portion of the project is estimated to cost over ₹95,000 crore. The first commencement certificate for the rehab portion's construction was received on January 14, 2025, and the end date is seven years later, on January 13, 2032. The timeline for the entire project, including the sale component, is 17 years.

"Blown Away": Former Danish Ambassador On Adani Group's Khavda Renewable Energy Park
Copenhagen/New Delhi: Freddy Svane, the former Danish Ambassador to India, on Sunday said he was "blown away" by the magnitude of the Adani Group's mega renewable energy (RE) park in Gujarat's Khavda. Speaking to IANS, Svane, a well-travelled and highly experienced diplomat, visited Khavda RE park - the world's largest - in November last year, along with ambassadors from the European Union (EU), Belgium, and Germany. "I was so blown away by the magnitude and the kind of strategy aligned behind it. It was an eye opener, and shows that the green transition, green strategic cooperation, whatever we call it, is so important," he said. Svane further stated that such green energy projects are not only good for bilateral relations but also a must for humanity, as "we need to have a better and more sustainable world". "Our next generations will be suffering if we don't solve this climate crisis," the former Ambassador told IANS. During the ambassadors' visit, Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, had said it was a privilege to host them. Gautam Adani said the discussions with the envoys focused on strengthening global partnerships to drive India's energy transition and accelerate the hydrogen ecosystem. "It was a privilege to host the ambassadors from the EU, Belgium, Denmark and Germany at our office. I deeply appreciate their visit to the world's largest renewable energy park in Khavda, Gujarat, and India's largest port, logistics and industrial hub in Mundra," the Adani Group Chairman had posted on social media platform X. The discussions were "truly insightful, focusing on strengthening global partnerships to drive India's energy transition and accelerate the hydrogen ecosystem," said the billionaire industrialist, adding: "At Adani, we continue to drive forward with our ambitious renewable energy initiatives while ensuring a balanced energy mix that supports a sustainable future for all of India". Svane further said he was so pleased when Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to Denmark, and "we could really take the green strategic partnership forward, which is so important". "I do hope that it will also inspire others because what can be done bilaterally is not enough. It calls for a kind of global action, like the fight against terror," Svane told IANS. PM Modi paid an official visit to Denmark on May 3-4, 2022 and had bilateral talks with his Danish counterpart, Mette Frederiksen. During the talks, the two Prime Ministers reviewed the progress of India-Denmark Green Strategic Partnership and exchanged views on regional and global issues of mutual interest.
