After years of dilly-dallying over the redevelopment of the slums in Dharavi, the largest in Asia, the chief executive officer for Dharavi Redevelopment Project, (DRP) has floated a global tender inviting foreign bidders to redevelop four sectors of Dharavi. The tender was floated on January 30, and the bids will be opened on April 7 at the MHADA headquarters in Kalanagar. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 21,936 crore. The move came after CM Devendra Fadnavis gave the project a go-ahead during a meeting with housing ministry officials earlier this month.
