In a big step towards citizen-friendly services, the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has launched ‘Mhaadasathi’, an AI-powered chatbot that promises instant, reliable information for homebuyers and applicants. The service, inaugurated by MHADA Vice President & CEO Sanjiv Jaiswal, is now live on MHADA’s official website and will soon be available on mobile platforms.
Why This Matters for Homebuyers
For lakhs of people applying to MHADA lotteries or tracking redevelopment and housing projects, the biggest problem has always been long queues, repeated office visits, and delays in getting answers. The new chatbot solves these problems by:
- Offering instant replies in Marathi and English.
- Giving voice-enabled support for easier interaction.
- Reducing the need to physically visit MHADA offices.

Digital Push by MHADA

- With 15 crore documents already available online, MHADA has seen a decline in RTI applications, as citizens directly access information.
