MMRDA Invites Landowner Consent for Mumbai 3.0 New Town Development in Raigad

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has launched a consent process for landowners in 124 Raigad villages across Uran, Panvel, and Pen talukas for the Mumbai 3.0 New Town project spanning 323 sq km. Starting April 27, landowners can choose among three compensation options: mutual consent-based acquisition, compensation via Floor Space Index or Transferable Development Rights, or a land pooling model returning 22.5% developed land. The project aims to involve landowners as development partners and supports planned urban growth near the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu corridor.
