MHADA Lottery 2026 : Golden Opportunity for Affordable Homes; MHADA Lottery for 7,000 Homes in Mumbai Suburbs Soon
The dream of owning an affordable home for the common man is likely to come true soon. The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is set to conduct a lottery for as many as 7,000 homes in Mumbai and its suburbs. This much-awaited draw will be announced by MHADA's Mumbai Board along with the Konkan Board, and the lottery process is expected to take place in March 2026.
According to the information received, a lottery for approximately 3,000 houses will be drawn by MHADA's Mumbai board. These houses will primarily be made available under various redevelopment projects and housing schemes in Mumbai. Additionally, an independent lottery for approximately 4,000 houses will be drawn under the Konkan board in Thane, Navi Mumbai, Vasai-Virar area. Therefore, a great opportunity will be available for home buyers in the entire Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) including Mumbai.
For the past few months, there has been discussion about the MHADA housing lottery in Mumbai. After the municipal elections and the code of conduct ended, the MHADA administration has accelerated the housing schemes. Information has been provided that the lottery process is in its final stages of preparation. This year, the Mumbai board lottery is likely to include major projects such as BDD Chawl, Motilal Nagar, Punjabi Colony in GTB Nagar, Patra Chawl, Abhyudaya Nagar, Poonam Nagar, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Nagar in Andheri. These projects are currently in various stages of planning and implementation.
If citizens get houses in these areas, they will have the opportunity to live in central and developed areas of Mumbai. Interested applicants will have to go to the official MHADA website at housing.mhada.gov.in to complete the online registration and application process. This MHADA lottery has always been a ray of hope for citizens in the low and middle-income groups. Due to affordable rates, basic amenities like roads, water, electricity, and good connectivity, there is a high demand for MHADA houses. In its 76-year journey, MHADA has created and distributed approximately 9 lakh affordable houses across Maharashtra. Therefore, this lottery in 2026 will also be a great opportunity for ordinary citizens to get their rightful home.
