# FSI deadlock stalls redevelopment of 28 societies in Kandivali 2026-08-08T22:51:13+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Redevelopment of at least 28 MHADA housing societies in Kandivali West's Mahavir Nagar, covering over 650 families, is stalled because of an unresolved pro-rata FSI dispute. The housing authority never got possession of roads earmarked in the Development Plan, so the extra FSI that should come from those amenities is unavailable. The colony's layout originally promised an FSI of 3, but builders discovered only 2 FSI is usable. MHADA says the landowner transferred only part of the land on paper in 1980. Developers like Shapoorji Pallonji and Paradigm Realty have signed agreements but cannot proceed until the government resolves the discrepancy or grants a special concession, Hindustan Times reports. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: FSI, Kandivali, land acquisition, MHADA, Mumbai real estate, redevelopment Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/fsi-deadlock-stalls-redevelopment-of-28-societies-in-kandivali/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
