The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority has initiated an online sale of 118 housing units in Mumbai through a first-come, first-served (FCFS) mechanism. The application window began at 11:00 a.m. on February 17, 2026, marking a renewed effort to provide affordable homebuying opportunities in the city.
MHADA confirmed that these units were part of earlier lotteries that remained unsold due to assorted factors. The scheme spans several locations and income categories, widening its accessibility for interested buyers.
MHADA has decided to relaunch these housing units after they remained unallocated in previous lottery rounds. The authority stated that the online sale format aims to streamline the process and attract buyers who may have previously missed out.
The FCFS model ensures that applicants securing their flat selection early can immediately proceed with the next steps. MHADA’s renewed offering reflects its ongoing efforts to optimise inventory usage and expand access to affordable housing.
The scheme includes flats across Kandivali, Charkop, Shimpoli, Antop Hill, Wadala, Powai, Malad, Mankhurd, Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Byculla, Tardeo, Lower Parel, Sion, Juhu, and Andheri. This distribution provides applicants with options across suburban and central parts of Mumbai.
The diverse geographical spread makes the offering suitable for a wide range of commuting and lifestyle needs. MHADA has positioned these locations to appeal to varying financial backgrounds and preferences.
The pricing of the flats ranges from ₹38 lakh to more than ₹8 crore, covering low-income, middle-income, and high-income segments. This broad price band gives buyers the flexibility to choose units aligned with their financial capacity.
Applicants purchasing through loans must secure pre-sanction letters from their financial institutions. MHADA will issue a no-objection certificate in the concerned bank’s name once the pre-sanction process is completed.
The formal process of submitting applications, depositing security amounts, and selecting flats will begin on March 4, 2026. Buyers finalising a flat must pay 10% of the unit’s sale price within 48 hours of selection.
The scheme was initially planned for an early February launch but was delayed due to technical issues, resulting in minor adjustments to the number of units available. MHADA had initially planned to list 120 flats, but the final count has been revised to 118.

MHADA’s decision to reintroduce 118 previously unsold flats provides homebuyers with a renewed opportunity to secure housing in Mumbai. The scheme’s wide geographical distribution allows applicants to explore options across several neighbourhoods.
The FCFS mechanism also ensures that the process is transparent and time-bound. The upcoming application phase in March 2026 will further determine the overall response from buyers.
