MHADA Announces 2026 Lottery Results for 2,640 Affordable Mumbai Homes
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) announced the 2026 lottery results for 2,640 affordable homes in Mumbai, with over 97,000 applications received. Around 66% of these apartments are under construction across various city locations. Maharashtra Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha urged strict action against developers delaying MHADA-reserved flats, proposing advisory committees to improve housing governance. MHADA plans a similar lottery in 2027, aiming to offer 2,000 to 2,500 affordable homes, with ongoing redevelopment projects expected to increase housing availability.
