Tagline: MHADA Mumbai Board has opened registration for 8 amenity plots under a First Come, First Served (FCFS) system. Here are the application dates, three-phase allotment schedule, locations, documents and online application details.
Mumbai property seekers and institutions have a new opportunity to apply for MHADA plots in Mumbai . The Mumbai Housing and Area Development Board (MHADA Mumbai Board) has opened online registration for the allotment of eight amenity plots located across several MHADA colonies.
Unlike the conventional e-auction process, these vacant amenity plots will now be offered through a First Come, First Served (FCFS) allotment process . The decision comes after some plots offered through e-auctions did not receive the expected response.
The plots are located in Malad-Malvani, Tagore Nagar-Vikhroli, Kannamwar Nagar-Vikhroli, Gorai and Akurli .
Registration for the scheme has already opened online, while the first phase of the application and booking process will start at 11 AM on August 25, 2026 .
For the past several years, the MHADA Mumbai Board has been offering plots for different public and amenity-related purposes through e-auctions. However, some plots remained unsold because of factors including pricing and limited response.
To facilitate the allotment of these vacant plots, MHADA has now introduced the First Come, First Served plot scheme .
The available plots are amenity plots intended for activities and facilities such as schools, colleges, hospitals, playgrounds, entertainment centres and other permitted public or social utility purposes , subject to the applicable MHADA rules and conditions.
The allotment will be conducted in three phases . Plots that remain unallotted during one phase will be carried forward to the next phase, along with any newly added plots.

MHADA is scheduled to publish the eligible and ineligible applicant list at 5 PM on November 5, 2026 .
The eight amenity plots are spread across MHADA colonies in Mumbai. The locations mentioned in the scheme information include:
Applicants should check the official MHADA information booklet and plot-wise details before submitting an application.
This is important for applicants to understand. These are amenity plots , rather than ordinary residential plots being offered to individuals for personal home construction.
Eligibility, permitted use, documentation, EMD requirements and other conditions will depend on the specific plot and MHADA's prescribed terms and conditions .
Therefore, applicants, institutions and organisations interested in the scheme should carefully check the official information booklet before applying.
Applicants will have to upload the prescribed documents online as part of the application process.
MHADA has advised applicants to carefully verify the information booklet, eligibility requirements, terms and conditions and document requirements before submitting their applications.
Where required, applicants may also have to submit the original copies of documents uploaded online to the Mumbai Board.
Applicants should ensure that all documents submitted are valid, accurate and complete to avoid problems during the scrutiny process.
Applicants will also have to pay the applicable Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) as prescribed under the scheme.
The EMD and other financial requirements should be checked in the official scheme information before completing the application.
Eligible applicants can register and apply online through the dedicated MHADA Mumbai Board FCFS Plot portal .
Applicants should not wait until the last day to complete the process. Since the scheme follows a First Come, First Served mechanism , interested applicants should carefully understand how MHADA has defined the FCFS process in the official scheme documents.
It is equally important to distinguish between online registration and the actual application/booking window . Registration has opened, but the first phase of application and booking begins on August 25, 2026, at 11 AM .
Applicants should also verify the plot-specific eligibility, permitted use, EMD, documents and other conditions before making any financial commitment.
The online application is available through the dedicated MHADA Mumbai Board FCFS Plot portal .

MHADA Sambhajinagar FCFS Housing 2026: 526 Flats, Plots & Shops Under PMAY & MHADA Schemes - READ FULL DETAILS
In a move aimed at boosting demand in the affordable housing segment, the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is planning to reduce prices of over 50 unsold flats in Mumbai under its First Come First Served (FCFS) scheme . The proposed price cut ranges between 10 percent and 20 percent , depending on location and applicable government benchmarks.
The decision comes after a lukewarm response to the FCFS housing initiative launched in February 2026 , where 118 apartments were put up for sale . While 64 units were successfully sold , a significant number of flats failed to attract buyers, prompting the authority to reconsider pricing.
According to MHADA Mumbai Board CEO Milind Borikar , the authority is now working on a revised pricing strategy. He stated that the discount will not be uniform , and each property will be assessed individually based on its ready reckoner rates , which determine property valuation in different areas of Mumbai.
Officials indicated that the final number of unsold flats is still being verified , but the move is expected to make these homes more accessible to middle income and lower income buyers. The revised rates are likely to improve buyer interest in areas where pricing was previously seen as a barrier.
The FCFS scheme , which allows buyers to purchase flats without participating in a lottery, was introduced to speed up the sale of housing inventory. However, the initial pricing in certain locations did not align with market expectations, leading to slower sales.
With the proposed price reduction , MHADA aims to clear existing inventory while also making government-backed housing in Mumbai more affordable . Real estate observers believe that such discounts could attract first-time homebuyers and investors looking for relatively lower entry points in the Mumbai property market.
Mumbai | Feb 17, 2026: The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has announced that online applications for 118 ready-to-move flats in Mumbai will open from February 17, 2026, at 11 am under the first-come, first-served (FCFS) scheme.
