A computerized lottery for 3,662 homes under various housing schemes in Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, PMRDA, and Solapur was conducted under Shinde’s leadership. The event, held via video conferencing from the Thane District Collector’s Office, was attended by Deputy Chief Minister and Pune Guardian Minister Ajit Pawar, Minister of State for Housing Pankaj Bhoyar, MHADA Pune Board Chairman Shivajirao Adhalrao Patil, and MHADA Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Sanjeev Jaiswal.

Shinde highlighted that the central government has identified four states for setting up growth hubs, with one planned in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. These hubs will attract industries, IT firms, and service enterprises, generating employment. In response, MHADA plans to develop eight lakh homes to meet rising demand, along with rental housing and hostels for working women, students, and senior citizens. He emphasized that given Mumbai’s space constraints, redevelopment will focus on eco-friendly housing through cluster development.

The Pune Board’s housing lottery received 71,642 applications for 3,662 homes, indicating strong public trust in MHADA’s transparent process. Shinde directed officials to ensure timely possession for successful applicants while maintaining transparency and quality standards. In the last 18 months, MHADA has allotted 30,000 homes through 13 lotteries and is working to resolve stalled projects and accelerate slum redevelopment. Cluster redevelopment projects are being prioritized in Mumbai, Pune, and Thane, with similar initiatives under review for Pune.

Ajit Pawar stated that the overwhelming response to the lottery highlights the demand for affordable housing and reinforces public trust in MHADA’s digital lottery system. He noted that homes are allocated transparently through the Integrated Housing Lottery Management System (IHLMS 2.0), an automated and interference-free process. Applicants must complete registration and eligibility verification before participating. Once selected, winners receive a formal intimation letter, followed by a provisional allotment letter after completing necessary formalities. Pawar warned citizens against falling prey to intermediaries, emphasizing that MHADA does not authorize agents or brokers.

MHADA Pune Board Chairman Shivajirao Adhalrao Patil noted that the board has successfully provided affordable homes and remains committed to future housing initiatives. Under the first-come, first-served scheme, homes in Tathawade, Mahalunge, Saswad, and Purandare are currently available.

The event was streamed live on MHADA’s official social media platforms, with over 48,000 viewers tuning in. The list of successful applicants will be published at 6:00 PM on housing.mhada.gov.in, with winners notified via SMS.

The event was attended by Thane District Collector Ashok Shingare, Thane Municipal Corporation Commissioner Saurabh Rao, MHADA Deputy Chief Executive Officer Anil Wankhede, MHADA Pune Board Chief Officer Rahul Sakore, Deputy Chief Engineer Sunil Nanavare, Deputy Chief Engineer Anil Ankalgi, Chief Information and Communication Technology Officer Savita Bodke, Deputy Chief Officer Atul Khode, and Deputy Engineer Manisha More.
