While Jaiswal did not mention the number of homes to be put on the market, it is expected to be around 5,000 affordable homes.

Jaiswal was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of launching a mobile app DigiMHADA. According to MHADA officials, around half of the total units will come up for sale in the Goregaon area of Mumbai.

The MHADA lottery will cater to a mix of economically weaker sections (EWS), lower-income groups (LIG), middle-income groups (MIG), and high-income groups (HIG) across several locations.

The officials said a significant portion of the flats in the forthcoming lottery will be from under-construction projects across the city. Several of these developments are still in the early stages, with only foundation work or a few floors completed. As a result, possession of many of these homes is expected only after 2028, according to a Hindustan Times report.

The largest share of units, between 2,400 and 2,500 flats, is likely to come from the Patra Chawl project in Goregaon West. Of these, around 2,300 homes are expected to be earmarked for low- and middle-income groups, while the remaining units will be offered to high-income group homebuyers, the report said.

The nodal housing authority in Maharashtra for affordable housing- MHADA, has constructed 5,05,802 dwelling units/tenements (including redevelopment) since its establishment in December 1977, according to its official data.
