Eknath Shinde: New policy for 'Pagadi'-free Mumbai, fair redevelopment.

• Deputy CM Eknath Shinde announced new regulations for the redevelopment of "Pagadi" system buildings in Mumbai.
• The policy aims to make Mumbai "Pagadi-free" and ensure fair redevelopment, protecting the rights of both tenants and landlords.
• New provisions include FSI for tenants based on occupied area, FSI for landlords based on ownership, and incentive FSI for free reconstruction for economically weaker sections.
• The plan addresses over 19,000 pre-1960 "Pagadi" buildings, many dilapidated, with 13,000+ awaiting redevelopment.
• Fast-track courts will be established to resolve approximately 28,000 pending cases between tenants and landlords within three years.

Why It Matters: New policy for Mumbai's Pagadi buildings will resolve disputes and grant tenants ownership.
