How will Adani Group's Dharavi Redevelopment Project change Mumbai's Dharavi? | ABP News

In the center of Mumbai, on a prime piece of land, is Dharavi. The Bandra-Kurla Complex, India's most affluent business neighborhood, where commercial office premiums are among the highest in the nation, is only a short distance away.
Over 100,000 people are employed in the large, unofficial leather and ceramics industries located within the 2.8 square kilometer slum.
The state government of Maharashtra had planned to develop Dharavi into a collection of high-rises featuring enhanced urban facilities in 2004. 68,000 individuals, including slum dwellers and owners of businesses, had to be relocated as part of the project.
For free, the state intended to give 300 square foot houses to anybody who could show that their shantytown existed before to January 1, the state was supposed to give them 300 square feet for free. For individuals who moved into Dharavi between 2000 and 2011, there was supposed to be a fee.

However, for a variety of reasons, the project never got off the ground.
