Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who also holds the portfolio of housing and urban development minister, on February 5 announced that the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) will construct 8 lakh affordable homes across Maharashtra in the next five years.
Shinde made the announcement at the housing lottery event held to announce the winners of 2147 affordable homes and 117 plots in the Konkan division.
Speaking at the event, Shinde said that MHADA will build 8 lakh affordable homes across the state in several income categories in the next five years.
He said people’s trust in MHADA increased due to its transparent lottery system, noting that more than 31,000 persons applied for 2,147 houses in the present lottery.
“Considering that it’s every person’s dream to own a house, the Maharashtra government has consistently worked towards providing the maximum number of affordable housing units. Therefore, MHADA and several units of the Maharashtra government are working towards constructing more and more affordable homes,” he said at the event.
“Under several brackets like cluster development, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), the MHADA is constantly constructing more affordable homes. The MHADA is also constructing Asia’s largest cluster development project in Thane and executing several such projects in Mumbai,” he said at the event.
According to the Maharashtra government data, MHADA, the nodal housing authority in Maharashtra for affordable housing, has constructed 5,05,802 dwelling units/tenements (including redevelopment) since its establishment in December 1977.
Konkan Board lottery in the next 6 months
According to Shinde, MHADA will hold one more lottery in the next six months, for the second time in one year. He said those who do not win homes in this lottery can always apply for the next one.
Sanjeev Jaiswal, CEO and VP of MHADA told HT.com in October 2024 that MHADA plans to create another lottery between March and May.
