What is Redevelopment?

Redevelopment is the complete procedure of demolishing an existing building or group or buildings or society and reconstructing it by appointing a good reputed builder and developer who can hand over new flats to the building members or the society members for free.  

Moreover, the developer will also give some additional benefits like some amenities, and make a profit by utilizing a balance plot for additional flats and shops with a maximum FSI of 2.5.

Who is eligible for Redevelopment?

In Navi Mumbai, Maharastra, only CIDCO buildings, that are located within the CIDCO jurisdiction are eligible subject to the below-following conditions.

  1. If the building age is more than 30 years – A structural audit is not required.
  2. If the building age is less than 30 years – A structural audit is a compulsion.

Why there is a need for Redevelopment?
