  1. NEW DHARAVI – CREATING MILLIONAIRES, NOT “SLUMDOGS”

  2. The largest Asian slum cluster, Adani Dharavi, is in Central Mumbai. A few days after the Maharashtra government gave the project final approval, Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, shared his vision for its redevelopment while acknowledging that there would be difficulties. Additionally, he anticipated that Hollywood film director Danny Boyle would find, that “the new Dharavi is producing millionaires without the slumdog prefix”, after the completion of the project. He knows there are enormous hurdles ahead as they embark on this entirely unknown expedition. Gautam Adani wrote in an open letter on July 19, 2023, “Dharavi is a unique project in a league of its own,” even when compared to Singapore’s ground-breaking project to address its housing shortage in the 1960s. Since the 21st century belongs to India, Adani pledged to build a “state-of-the-art world-class city” representing a confident and resurgent India.

  3. THE ADANI DHARAVI IS A UNIQUE PROJECT • For three reasons, Adani Dharavi is a unique project that stands apart from the rest: • First, it is among the most prominent urban regeneration and resettlement initiatives in the world. There will be a million or more rehabilitation and resettlements. • Second, repair comprises relocating several business establishments of different sizes and dimensions in addition to residential units. The ecosystem and business network of several unique firms flourishing in Dharavi will be restored and relocated. • Thirdly, as it addresses the housing and rehabilitation needs of qualified and ineligible residents, the project will strive for comprehensive and all-encompassing reconstruction.

  4. GAUTAM ADANI NOT ONLY AIMS TO PROVIDE HOMES TO THE DHARAVIANS BUT ALSO PROVIDE THEM WITH BASIC NEEDS As part of the reconstruction project, Gautam Adani pledged that Dharavi’s eligible residents would be moved to their new residences. He declared that he promised the qualified Dharavi inhabitants would only relocate to their new places. They will not only be able to watch their homes being built, but they will also be able to influence it. The Adani Group will supply gas, water, power, sewage and drainage systems, healthcare and recreational facilities, open spaces, etc. that are currently lacking in the region. In addition, residents will have access to a top-notch hospital and school. The anguish of inadequacy will vanish like a faded memory. A new Dharavi, humming with pride, will hum in its stead. The Adani Dharavi project, according to him, was unique for three reasons

  5. A SIGNIFICANT OBSTACLE, ASIDE FROM RELOCATION, IS SUSTAINING ONESELF IN DHARAVI Through the Adani Dharavi project, Gautam Adani hopes to turn Dharavi into a cutting-edge business hub by examining ways to promote and expand small businesses and microenterprises that are already in place, as well as by encouraging new-age occupations that are primarily targeted at women and young people. A multifaceted approach will be used to accomplish this with the assistance of civil society and sectoral specialists. Developing structured and systematic marketplaces following the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) may be another essential component.
