Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) is exploring a plan to undertake redevelopment of around 13,000 cessed buildings in the country's financial capital, particularly in the prime property micro market of South Mumbai.

As part of this plan, the state government's housing authority will be undertaking the structural audit of 1,000 cessed buildings by end-March as part of the Maharashtra government's 100-day action plan.
Cessed buildings in Mumbai refer to old, rent-controlled buildings, primarily in South and Central Mumbai, that were constructed before 1969. These buildings are subject to a cess or tax collected for their repair and maintenance by Mhada.
The housing body's vice president and chief executive Sanjeev Jaiswal has instructed his officials to accelerate the process to ensure timely completion of this structural audit.
Mhada recently held a review meeting to assess various projects under the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board. During this meeting, Jaiswal emphasised the importance of conducting structural audits to assess the safety and redevelopment needs of aging buildings, said people who attended the meeting. He directed officials to appoint structural consultants and plan for the audit of these 13,000 cessed buildings over the next year.
