Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRPPL) has requested 15 acres of land in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) on a five-year lease from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). In a letter dated 11 June 2024, Dharavi Rehabilitation Project’s (DRP) deputy collector requested this land at commercial rates.

DRPPL intends to use this land, previously a Metro works casting yard, for storing heavy machinery necessary for redevelopment.

Additionally, DRPPL has requested 12 acres of land from the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking. The sought-after land includes two prominent bus depots in Sion East, Dharavi and Kalakilla, with a total parking capacity for about 300 buses. The area also accommodates the BEST transport division, power supply division offices, staff housing for 60 personnel, and amenities for drivers and conductors. 

In February 2024, Maharashtra cabinet approved a proposal to ask the Centre to handover 283.4 acres of salt pan at current market value to state for the project on a 99-year lease. Railway Land Development Authority (RLDA) has transferred 27.57 acres, including the scrapyard near Mahim station, to DRPPL.

DRPPL is a special purpose vehicle (SPV) formed by the state government and the Adani Group, and plans to build around one to 1.5 lakh tenements of 350 sq. ft. each.
