Adani Group wins Mumbai’s Dharavi Redevelopment Project with Rs. 5,069 crore offer

Adani Group wins Mumbai’s Dharavi Redevelopment Project: The 259-hectare Dharavi Redevelopment Project has attracted the highest proposal from the Adani Group. Adani Group outbid DLF, which had quoted Rs. 2,035 crores, with a bid of Rs. 5,069 crores for the reconstruction of one of the largest slum sprawls in the world.

According to SVR Srinivas, the project’s chief executive officer, the information will now be given to the government for consideration and final clearance. Notably, the bid is for the complete reconstruction project, worth Rs. 20,000 crore.

Mumbai’s Dharavi Redevelopment Project: Key Points

  • Three of the eight bidders who attended the pre-bid conference in October 2022, which also included South Korean and UAE-based organisations, submitted a bid for the project.
  • The third bid that didn’t meet the criteria came from a city-based firm named Naman Group.
  • Before awarding the project to the highest bidder, the State Government is likely to consider both the technical and financial eligibility.
  • The State Government has requested a minimum combined net worth of Rs. 20,000 crores to choose the winning bid.
  • The government has also mandated a staggered schedule for the investments and requires the successful bidder to establish a Special Purpose Vehicle in order to carry out the project.

What is Mumbai’s Dharavi Redevelopment Project?

The project would cost Rs. 20,000 crore in total, and it will take 7 years to complete in order to rehabilitate the 6.5 lakh slum inhabitants who currently occupy a 2.5 sq km region. Due to its complexity, the project has been in limbo for quite some time. Selling tens of thousands of square feet of residential and commercial space in Central Mumbai will assist the winning bidder in generating large profits. The infrastructure, facilities, and restoration must all be handled by the project’s developer.
