MHADA extends the Konkan Board lottery deadline till January 6, 2024, with over 16,000 affordable homes for sale

In a significant development for homebuyers in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has extended the deadline for applications for its Konkan Board affordable homes lottery. The new deadline, which will now run until January 6, 2024, gives hopeful applicants additional time to secure a place in this highly anticipated lottery. MHADA had earlier announced an increase in the number of homes available for the Konkan Board lottery, raising the total from 12,000 to more than 16,000 affordable homes in the region.

The 16,000 homes available in this lottery are distributed across several locations, including Virar, Thane, and Kalyan. Out of these, more than 2,200 homes will be allocated through a lucky draw, while the remaining 14,000 homes will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, making it crucial for applicants to act quickly. These homes, priced between ₹15 lakh to ₹20 lakh, offer a more affordable option for prospective homeowners in the region, which has seen rapid growth and rising housing prices in recent years.

The majority of the homes in the lottery are located in Thane city and district, including areas such as Kalyan, Titwala, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg. The range of prices for these homes—ranging from ₹15 lakh to ₹1 crore—reflects a broad spectrum of affordability, catering to a wide range of income groups. The availability of homes in these locations reflects MHADA’s ongoing efforts to decentralise housing development and provide affordable options in suburban and peri-urban areas, alleviating the pressure on the already overburdened Mumbai city market.

Looking ahead, MHADA plans to conduct further lotteries to offer more affordable housing in the coming years. Notably, a lottery for 2,000 to 3,000 homes in Mumbai is expected between March and May 2024, with additional plans for around 50,000 affordable homes over the next five years. This ambitious housing initiative underscores MHADA’s commitment to addressing the growing demand for affordable homes, which has become a key issue in Mumbai’s urban development strategy. The sustainability angle here is vital, as increasing the availability of affordable housing can contribute to more equitable urban growth, reduce overcrowding, and promote better infrastructure in underdeveloped regions. As Mumbai continues to grow, the focus on such sustainable housing solutions will play a pivotal role in shaping its future urban landscape.
