MHADA Extends Mumbai Lottery Deadline, Revises Income Categories and Prices for 2,640 Flats

MHADA has extended the application deadline for its 2026 Mumbai housing lottery to May 28, aiming to boost participation for 2,640 apartments across income categories. Due to low demand, 610 flats in the Kannamwar Nagar-Vikhroli project were reclassified from Middle Income Group (MIG) to High Income Group (HIG), with prices reduced by 7.5% and one free parking space offered. The lottery process includes provisional lists and objection periods scheduled through mid-June.
