MHADA Lottery 2026: 5,000 Affordable Homes to be Offered in Mumbai

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority is set to launch a lottery for 5,000 affordable homes in Mumbai within the next 2 to 3 months, targeting a wide range of income groups, as per news reports. 

Details of the 5,000 Home Offering 

The upcoming lottery will include units for Economically Weaker Section (family income up to ₹6 lakh), Lower Income Group (₹6 lakh to ₹9 lakh), Middle Income Group (₹9 lakh to ₹12 lakh) and High Income Group (above ₹12 lakh).  

A large share of the flats comes from under construction projects, many of which have only foundation work or a few floors completed, meaning possession may be delayed until after 2028. 

Patra Chawl Redevelopment in Goregaon 

Between 2,400 and 2,500 flats are expected from the Patra Chawl redevelopment in Goregaon West. Approximately 2,300 of these units are earmarked for low and middle income buyers, while the remaining units will be allocated to high income applicants.  

The project involves rebuilding the original mill workers’ chawl and selling surplus land‑derived housing stock.
