Mumbai Redevelopment Projects Reach 15% of Housing Sales Amid Land Scarcity
Since 2020, Mumbai has launched over 1,000 redevelopment projects, making up 13% of the city's residential supply. Redevelopment's share of housing sales rose to 15% in early 2026, up from 6% during 2016-2021, surpassing new launches for the first time. This shift reflects a response to Mumbai's acute scarcity of developable land and the urgent need to replace aging buildings. Experts describe redevelopment as essential for urban renewal, with large-scale projects and policy reforms accelerating this transformation.
