IAS Sanjeev Jaiswal’s 100-Day Housing Plan: Faster Approvals, More Homes, Better Mumbai

 

                    

For years, Mumbai’s housing approvals were stuck in delays, paperwork, and slow processes. But under the 100-day action plan, MHADA is making homeownership and redevelopment easier, faster, and more accessible.

With IAS Sanjeev Jaiswal leading this initiative, MHADA is bringing lease and conveyance processes online, expanding affordable housing, and modernizing estate management. This structured approach ensures Mumbai’s housing sector moves forward efficiently and with a citizen-first mindset.

Here’s how MHADA is making it happen—one step at a time.

Making Housing Approvals Quick and Hassle-Free

For a long time, getting housing approvals meant navigating endless paperwork. Now, MHADA is launching a fully digital system to streamline lease deeds and conveyance approvals.

1?. No more long queues—Everything is processed online.
2?. Real-time tracking—Residents can follow their approvals digitally.
3?. Faster redevelopment—Quicker approvals mean societies can move forward without delays.

With 114 housing layouts under MHADA, many buildings have been unable to redevelop due to pending conveyance approvals. The introduction of self-declaration forms online is removing these obstacles, allowing projects to move ahead without unnecessary slowdowns.

Additionally, a Single Window System and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are being introduced to make approvals more structured and efficient.

This isn’t just modernization—it’s about empowering homeowners with a seamless process.

Affordable Housing: A Home for Everyone

Owning a home should not be a luxury—it should be an achievable goal for all. That’s why MHADA is actively expanding affordable housing projects across Maharashtra.

Under this initiative, MHADA is:

• Developing homes in rural areas—Expanding Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) to more regions.

• Reviving stalled housing projects—Removing financial and legal hurdles to restart construction.

• Utilizing available land—Identifying underused spaces for new housing developments.

With 9 lakh homes already built, including 2.5 lakh under the Mumbai Board, MHADA is ensuring that no home remains vacant. A comprehensive digital record of available homes is being maintained so that allocations happen faster and more efficiently.

Through structured reforms and streamlined approvals, MHADA is ensuring that housing remains affordable and accessible for all income groups.

Revamping Infrastructure: Strengthening Public Housing

Beyond approvals and new housing projects, upgrading infrastructure within existing MHADA colonies is a key focus.

1. Structural repairs in old housing societies—Ensuring buildings remain safe and liveable.

2. Better Road connectivity to housing colonies—Improving accessibility for residents.

3. Enhancing community spaces—Developing green areas, parks, and recreational facilities.

These efforts ensure that housing isn’t just about having a home—but living in a well-developed, thriving neighbourhood.

This integrated approach to housing and infrastructure development is paving the way for a better quality of life for thousands of residents.
