Mumbai: Speaking in Mumbai, Gautam Adani, the chairman of the Adani Group, underscored the significance of the Dharavi redevelopment project. He described it not just as a project but as a mission to restore dignity to over 1 million residents and provide them with an unmatched ecosystem of sustainable living.
In his address on the Teachers’ Day at Mumbai’s Jai Hind College, Gautam Adani emphasised the scale of the project, stating that they are set to transform the world’s largest slum over the next decade.
“Not only will this provide dignity of living to its over one million residents, but, at the same time, this will build an unmatched ecosystem of sustainable living and innovation in the heart of Mumbai,” the Adani Group Chairman noted.
Spanning just over 2.39 square km, Dharavi is set to undergo a transformation like no other. The Adani Group’s redevelopment project promises an unparalleled ecosystem of sustainable living and innovation. Under this $3 billion initiative, tenement holders will receive a 350 square feet house, a significant 17 percent more than any other Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) scheme in Mumbai.
Gautam Adani further said that it is not the victories that define them but the mindset that tackles the challenges. Over the years, “we have assembled a set of leaders who are willing to venture into the unknown.”
Following the overwhelming support of Dharavi residents for an ongoing state government survey, several NGOs working in the world’s largest slum have also pledged their support. The survey, which began on March 18, has already completed over 11,000 tenements via door-to-door visits. Spearheaded by the DRP/SRA of the state government and the Dharavi Redevelopment Project Private Ltd (DRPPL), a joint venture between the Maharashtra government and the Adani Group, this initiative is a testament to the community’s commitment to the project.
