Mumbai Metropolitan Region Slum Rehabilitation Authority

About the Department

The Government of Maharashtra has launched a comprehensive Slum Rehabilitation Scheme by introducing an innovative concept of using land as a resource and allowing incentive floor space index (FSI) in the form of tenements for sale in the open market for cross subsidization of the Slum Rehabilitation tenements which are to be provided free to the slum-dwellers. On 08.09.2020 the Government has established Mumbai Metropolitan Region/Slum Rehabilitation Authority for the MMR region through necessary statutory amendments in the Act. This authority will act as the “Planning Authority” for the rehabilitation of slum dwellers in the entire Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
