Mhada to Redevelop Mumbai's Pratiksha Nagar Using EPC Model Independently
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) will independently redevelop the 25-hectare Pratiksha Nagar layout in Sion, Mumbai, using the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) model for the first time. This approach allows Mhada to retain control and additional housing stock, differing from the previous Construction Development Agency (CDA) model involving private developers. The project covers 216 buildings with about 10,000 units, focusing initially on unsafe transit accommodations. Approval for the EPC model proposal is pending from the state housing department.
