Mumbai's Dharavi redevelopment project continues after Supreme Court refuses to stay, Adani Group awarded tender.
Mumbai's Dharavi redevelopment project will continue to go on after the Supreme Court refused to stay it on Friday.
A bench of Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar sought responses from the Maharashtra government and Adani Properties Pvt. Ltd., which was awarded the tender for the project, on a petition challenging a December 20, 2024 verdict of the Bombay High Court.
The high court had cleared the decks for redevelopment of the slums in Dharavi and upheld the tender awarded to the Adani Group for the project, ruling there was no "arbitrariness, unreasonableness or perversity" in the decision.
The high court in the process dismissed the plea of UAE-based Seclink Technologies Corporation challenging the state government's decision to award the mega redevelopment project to Adani Properties Pvt. Ltd., which had made a ₹5,069-crore offer.
Seclink Technologies Corporation emerged as the highest bidder for the project first in 2018 with its ₹7,200-crore offer, but the tender was later scrapped by the government.
The Adani Group had emerged as the highest bidder for the 259-hectare Dharavi redevelopment project in the heart of Mumbai and bagged it with its ₹5,069-crore offer in the 2022 tender process.
Seclink Technologies Corporation has moved the apex court against the high court decision.
