Goregaon's journey from a mid-suburban residential area to a fast-emerging urban hub reflects Mumbai's broader evolution, with cluster redevelopment now driving its next phase of growth. Once known for open land and modest housing, the suburb has steadily transformed through improved connectivity, commercial development and stronger social infrastructure. The cluster redevelopment model is accelerating this shift by consolidating fragmented plots into planned, mixed-use neighbourhoods that integrate housing, offices, retail and community amenities. Backed by metro connectivity, arterial roads and upcoming infrastructure projects, Goregaon is witnessing rising property values and growing interest from end-users and investors alike. More importantly, cluster projects are addressing the challenge of ageing housing stock by improving safety, liveability and sustainability. Together, these factors are repositioning Goregaon as a modern urban core within Mumbai's western suburbs.Read more

The Bombay High Court has intervened to stop the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) from proceeding with the demolition of homes at Rakhmabai Mhatre Chawl in Mulund (East), ruling that the civic body's notices were vague and unjustified. The court found that six residents had adequately demonstrated long-term occupancy through historical property tax and utility records, undermining BMC's claim of unauthorised construction. Observing that the demolition warnings lacked clarity on what was unlawful, the bench quashed the notices and ordered that no coercive action be taken until the civil suits are finally disposed of. The ruling underscores the need for precise procedural compliance when authorities seek to remove longstanding residential structures.Read more

A civil court in Mumbai has ruled that Godrej & Boyce's Vikhroli land cannot be classified as a slum, setting aside a government notification issued in the late 1970s under the Maharashtra Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act.

The ruling also protects the company's access and use of the land.Read more
