Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said the state will roll out 30 lakh housing units across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region within the next 15‑20 years.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced a long‑term housing initiative aimed at delivering 30 lakh homes across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The plan, spanning a period of 15 to 20 years, seeks to address the chronic shortage of affordable housing in the city and its surrounding suburbs.
Shinde emphasized that the scheme will be executed through a combination of government funding, private sector participation, and existing land‑bank resources. While specific project details were not disclosed, the broad target underscores the state's commitment to expanding residential infrastructure for low‑ and middle‑income families.
Housing experts note that such a scale of construction could significantly ease the pressure on Mumbai's real‑estate market, potentially stabilising rental rates and improving living standards. The government has indicated that the rollout will be phased, aligning with infrastructure development and urban planning guidelines.
Implementation will be monitored by the state’s Housing and Urban Development Department, which will coordinate with municipal bodies and developers to ensure timely delivery. The initiative is expected to generate employment opportunities in construction and related sectors.
The announcement comes as part of broader efforts by the Maharashtra administration to boost affordable housing, complementing other schemes aimed at slum rehabilitation and urban renewal.
