Providing Affordable Housing through PPP mode A presentation by Shri. M.D. Lele, Chief Planner, CIDCO, Navi Mumbai

Introduction Housing the poor  Metro cities house a large percentage of migrant population with people living in either rented houses or in slums/squatters  48 % of the people in lower segment are currently staying in rented accommodation*  Affordable housing options for weaker sections is need of the hour * - Tata Housing study

Overview of CIDCO’s past efforts In Navi Mumbai  Estimated 18 lakh population  Total formal housing stock lac units  CIDCO - 55% and Private sector 45%  CIDCO’s total housing stock - 50% towards housing the poor  CIDCO’s focus on the EWS/LIG section, the most striking aspect  Land as resource and system of cross-subsidy  CIDCO constructed, BUDP scheme and DRS scheme - three major categories

BUDP Project  Launched in early 80s  Supply of serviced land to manage the problem of slums  Securing long-term legal tenure  Focus on incremental housing  Option to construct as per their financial condition  Provision of basic services with recovery  Plot sizes and infrastructure based on ‘affordable costs’  Massive scale, spread over 6 nodes across Navi Mumbai  22,300 serviced sites/Dwelling units created Invoked enterprise of the citizen through design and construction on their own terms and financial conditions Overview of CIDCO’s past efforts

DRS Scheme  DRS scheme - Public- Private partnership both in design and construction  Layouts and Building design skills of 10 national level Architects were on display in 9 different nodes based on ‘organic chaos’  Equal number of private developers given opportunity to design and build housing schemes  Layouts had heterogeneous and equal mix of LIG: MIG: HIG categories and together gave 6500 odd EWS/LIG units  The entire scheme was ‘low-rise high density’, laying a valuable example of public-private partnership in Social housing Overview of CIDCO’s past efforts

Circa 1991  Reduced role of CIDCO  Increased role of private sector  Focus on EWS/LIG diluted  Currently prices rising rapidly  Provide many housing options Overview of CIDCO’s past efforts

Recent Housing Schemes  Vastu-vihar Scheme -  Celebration Scheme -  Unnati Housing - Overview of CIDCO’s past efforts

Approach for future  Mass Housing Schemes  Rental Housing  RPZ land model  BSUP Project

Mass Housing  An ambitious scheme of making available 50,000 houses (1/10th of the target for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region set by the State Government) in Navi Mumbai area over the span of next 10 years  The Corporation has currently on the drawing board schemes to construct approximately 12,500 tenements  Focus firmly on the weaker section and middle class Sr. no.NodeEWS/LIGMIGHIGTenements 1Ghansoli Vashi Khargha r Ulwe Taloje Total Approach for future

Rental Housing  Corporation to construct housing complexes at strategic locations  Locations nearer railway stations and in comparatively lesser land price nodes to minimize travel costs and ensure lower rents  Dispensation already in place to recover the service charges, etc. in each node.  Receiving applications, maintaining database of applications, allot tenements on fair basis and recovering monthly rental charges is possible  Maintenance of buildings and recovery of rents, other charges to be outsourced to private agency  Ensure that assets created are sustainable  A pilot project of about 500 tenements is in the offing  This model thus attacks the root of the problem viz. affordability Approach for future

RPZ land model  GoM has acquired and transferred about 200 sqkm. land  Undulating lands are not acquired and today land acquisition is costly  2000 ha. of lands lying in the RPZ are amenable to development in terms of favourable topography  Low intensity development feasible but high cost of infrastructure provision Approach for future

RPZ land model  Model - Developed plots with infrastructure given back to the land owners in-lieu of the raw land to be surrendered for re-organization  Developed plot area to vary from percent based upon the locations of land parcels vis-à-vis road network  To bring about orderly development in terms of well organized land parcels having a certain threshold size Approach for future

BSUP Project  Tho’ Navi Mumbai is a planned effort, slums have come up in the city  To address the issue early, CIDCO has been appointed the project implementing authority under the BSUP project for construction of 13,600 dwelling units costing Rs. 300 crores (approx.)  Central Government Grant under the JnNURM scheme - Rs crores, GoM share - Rs crores and monetary contribution by beneficiaries ranging from 10-12% of the cost of tenements is expected Approach for future

BSUP Project  Solicit private sector participation  Obligatory on the part of the developers to handover free of cost 13,600 tenements in these pockets  The balance built-up area out of 2.5 FSI on the gross plot area shall be for sale essentially to EWS and LIG income people only (30 and 45 sqm. BUA only)  15 to 25% of the permissible built-up area with 2.5 FSI could be utilized for commercial use – Viability of scheme Approach for future

Alternatives  Land at fixed price, building plans, technology approved by CIDCO. 50% tenements to be handed over to CIDCO for disposal. Max FSI – 3.0  Land at fixed price, building plans, technology approved by CIDCO. Instead of handing tenements, give premium. Max FSI – 3.0  Land at market rate. Max FSI – 3.0, building plans, technology controlled by CIDCO

Other Alternatives  Private developers assigned residential plots >2000 sqm. to surrender BUA to CIDCO in form of EWS/LIG tenements  Private developers assigned residential plots >2000 sqm. To compulsorily construct EWS/LIG tenements  Developers to be compensated for surrendered part by allowing additional proportionate FSI  All inclusive housing on land at fixed price-  Free House Component (Rehab component)  Affordable houses (to be handed over to CIDCO at cost)  High priced housing (Developers component)  Selection on basis of maximum number offered for rehab
