What is redevelopment?
In Maharashtra, several old buildings, especially those comprising two to seven storeys, are being redeveloped. The redevelopment of housing projects involves demolishing and replacing old structures with modern, bigger buildings subject to various norms.
Residents in old buildings get larger apartments in the newer building for free, as the builder sells a certain number of apartments in the new building for a profit. The government, too, earns revenue by selling the floor space index (FSI) to the builder.
