According to a senior MHADA official, the whole aim is to dispose of these vacant plots.

“Currently, the Konkan region is in great demand and there is a growing demand from the native people especially those who are settled in Mumbai for plots,” said the official. He said the sale would ensure a good income to the Mhada exchequer and also set it free from maintenance. Mhada will issue application forms within a month and a lottery will be held in case of multiple entries.

Buyers are also enthused by the news.

“Mhada has a good track record in Mumbai and I had always dreamt of having my own house in the Konkan region, which is currently the hottest destination,” said Prasanna Desai, an accountant working at the private firm in the city.
