At the event, over 1 lakh applicants vied for 2,030 flats, which were allocated through a transparent and automated system known as the Integrated Housing Lottery Management System (IHLMS 2.0). The event took place at the Yashwantrao Chavan Centre, attended virtually by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar.

MHADA received strong responses from various groups, including 47,134 LIG applications and 48,762 EWS applications.
Winners will soon receive provisional offer letters, allowing them to proceed with payments. MHADA’s emphasis on transparency and fairness has attracted widespread public trust, with a promise to provide not just homes but thriving communities.
