Bombay High Court has cleared way for cluster redevelopment of MHADA layouts in Bandra Reclamation and Adarsh Nagar Worli. On July 2 2026 the court dismissed pleas by housing societies seeking separate redevelopment and upheld state policy for integrated redevelopment. The court held larger public interest and planned urban development outweigh individual claims.

The ruling clears 98.27 acres at Bandra Reclamation and 34.33 acres at Adarsh Nagar Worli totalling over 132 acres of prime urban land. These layouts were built in 1950s and 1960s as affordable housing for Middle Income Group and Lower Income Group and have seen little development over years. The court said integrated redevelopment serves larger public interest.

Under new policy MHADA will function as planning authority for 114 projects and will appoint single Construction and Development Agency for cluster. Government Resolutions introduced policy for layouts spanning 20 acres or more. This ends fragmented redevelopment by individual societies.
