Mumbai redevelopment news: MHADA floats bids to redevelop PMGP Colony in Jogeshwari
According to MHADA, residents of PMGP colony will be allotted modern homes with a carpet area of 450 sq ft, replacing their existing 180 sq ft units
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) on June 17 initiated the tender process to appoint an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor for the redevelopment of the PMGP Colony in Poonam Nagar, Jogeshwari, a western suburb of Mumbai. The project spans 27,625 sq. m.
Originally built under the Prime Minister's Grant Project (PMGP), the colony has remained in a dilapidated state for years. MHADA said the redevelopment marks a major step toward resolving the long-pending housing issues faced by residents.
According to MHADA, residents will be provided with a 450 sq ft carpet area in modern homes in lieu of the existing 180 sq ft units.
MHADA will redevelop the colony directly through the appointment of an EPC contractor. As part of the project, approximately 984 families will be rehabilitated into modern housing units. Originally built between 1990 and 1992 under the Prime Minister's Grant Project (PMGP), the colony comprises 17 ground-plus-four-storey buildings.
According to MHADA, its Mumbai Board had earlier floated tenders on July 2 and September 6, 2024, after receiving government approval. However, no bids were received. Consequently, a proposal to carry out the redevelopment directly through MHADA was submitted to the government on April 4, 2025.
"Based on the government's approval received on May 28, 2025, the tender process for the appointment of an EPC contractor was published on the official website on 16 June 2025. The last date for submission of bids for this project is 7 July 2025," the MHADA said in a statement.
