State deletes dairy reservation, clears decks for handing over Kurla dairy plot to DRP

The state urban development department deleted the dairy reservation on the 8.5-hectare Kurla plot that once housed Mother Dairy.

The land will be handed over to the Adani Group-led Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) for housing residents ineligible for in situ rehabilitation in Dharavi.

The Mahayuti government granted relaxations allowing transfer of development rights (TDR) on the land and permission to develop and sell commercial components in the open market.

Nearly 2.5 hectares of the plot had already been given to MMRDA for the Metro 2B line.

The land was sold at only 25% of ready reckoner rates, citing 'vital public importance', and the plot cannot be sold or sub-leased to third parties.
