Dharavi Redevelopment Project: Eligible Commercial & Industrial Units Must Submit Consent Forms By August 24 To Avail Extra Space At Construction Cost

Mumbai: Eligible industrial and commercial unit owners in Dharavi must submit their consent forms by August 24 to avail additional space at construction cost beyond the free 225 sq ft quota, a DRP notice has said on Wednesday.

Extra Space Offered at Construction Cost

A DRP official explained, “As per the tender conditions, eligible commercial and industrial unit owners are entitled to 225 sq ft free of cost. However, any additional space will be charged at construction cost based on the ready reckoner rate and offered on a telescopic reduction basis.”

Eligibility Based on Pre-2000 Occupancy and Valid Documents

Industrial and commercial units on the ground floor that existed on or before January 1, 2000, and have valid documents such as a Gumasta license from the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), LT-II meter from the BEST are eligible to apply for extra space at construction cost.

“If the consent form is not received by Aug 24, 2025, it will be assumed that the owners are not interested in availing the extra space benefit,” the official added.

State Cabinet Approves Policy for Non-Owner Commercial Operators

The state cabinet recently approved a policy to accommodate lessees and other commercial operators in Dharavi without ownership rights by allowing them to occupy space within the 10% area reserved for commercial use in the rehabilitation buildings.

This move ensures that both eligible and ineligible commercial units can continue operating from within Dharavi, preserving the existing business and commercial ecosystem.

This highlights the commitment of the state government and DRP to protect livelihoods and maintain the ‘walk to work’ lifestyle of Dharavikars.

Five-Year SGST Rebate & Easier Credit Access for Rehabilitated Businesses

As per the tender terms, rehabilitated businesses and new units operating in the Dharavi Notified Area (DNA) are also entitled to a five-year reimbursement of State Goods and Services Tax (SGST).

Additionally, receiving title documents for their business premises will provide easier access to institutional credit, helping these businesses scale up faster.
