- The case of Oshiwara District Centre

• The Government of Maharashtra appointed MMRDA as the special planning agency for the
creation of new district centres and, in the past, MMRDA was instrumental in the
development of such districts, a classic example being Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) spread
across 900 acres.

Centre (ODC) in the Western Suburbs of Mumbai will be one of the new growth centres
located between Andheri, Lokhandwala and Goregaon.

projects of this magnitude. After demonstrating the successful development of BKC, this is the
biggest development of MMRDA which is next to Lokhandwala in Andheri and will be a mixed-
use project that includes residential space, offices, shopping centres, etc.
 The role of Public Private Partnership
Model, enabling private sector developer
participation

Oshiwara District Centre relies on the participation of private sector
developers. With such involvement of developers with proven track
records is expected to reduce the risk perception of the project, leading to

District Centre project a head start.
