MHADA to Complete Structural Audit of 1,000 Cessed Buildings in Mumbai by March 2025

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has announced plans to conduct a structural audit of 1,000 cessed buildings in Mumbai by March 2025 as part of the Maharashtra government’s 100-day action plan. MHADA Vice President and CEO Sanjeev Jaiswal have directed officials to expedite the process and ensure timely completion of the audits to assess the safety and redevelopment needs of ageing structures.

In a recent review meeting of the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board, Jaiswal stressed the importance of structural audits for maintaining building safety. He instructed officials to appoint structural consultants and prepare for a comprehensive audit covering 13,000 cessed buildings over the next year. The action plan initially aims to audit 500 buildings, of which 171 audits have been completed, with reports for 32 buildings already submitted.

Jaiswal also directed the biometric survey of 20,000 commercial unit holders in transit camps to be completed by March-end, which is in line with the state’s target for 2,000 units. Officials have been tasked with categorizing transit camp occupants into A, B, and C groups by March 2025, following the government resolution dated September 13, 2019.

Additionally, executive engineers were instructed to issue notices under Section 79(A)(1)(A) for all 13,000 cessed buildings under MHADA’s jurisdiction and expedite the redevelopment process for properties acquired under Section 91(A).

The move comes as part of a broader initiative to ensure the safety and sustainability of Mumbai’s ageing housing stock, particularly the cessed buildings that have long been due for repairs or redevelopment. MHADA’s intensified focus on structural audits and redevelopment is expected to provide a clearer roadmap for improving living conditions in these vulnerable structures.
