As part of its plan to redevelop 64 slum rehabilitation schemes located on municipal plots, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has once again invited developers and builders for 26 of these schemes, after receiving a poor response in the first round. These land parcels, spread across Mumbai city and its suburbs, are notified under the Maharashtra Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act, 1971.

The civic body had first floated an Expression of Interest (EOI) in May this year for 47 plots out of the total 64 plots in areas such as Borivli, Goregaon East, Malad, Lower Parel, Dindoshi, Wadala, Govandi, and Ghatkopar, after 17 plots were removed. The process closed in June, but with limited interest from developers. Now, with timelines extended by three months, the BMC has reissued the EOI for 26 of these parcels, with a deadline of October 15, 2025.
