Mumbai lottery (upcoming)

MHADA is preparing approximately 5,000 low-cost homes in Mumbai for launch around Diwali 2025. Areas include Darsh Nagar (Worli), Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar (Chunabhatti), Motilal Nagar, and PMGP Colony (Jogeshwari).

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is the state government agency responsible for affordable housing, slum redevelopment, and reconstruction across Maharashtra. It offers homes through periodic lotteries conducted by its regional boards — Mumbai, Konkan, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Amravati, and Aurangabad.

The MHADA lottery is a transparent computerised draw system where registered applicants are randomly selected for housing units. All applications that meet eligibility criteria are entered into the draw equally — no one can pay for a better chance. This fairness makes it the most credible affordable housing allocation system in Maharashtra.
