BJP victory in Maha, relief for Adani’s USD 3 bn Dharavi project

The landslide victory for the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti in Maharashtra will booster billionaire Gautam Adani-led group’s USD 3-billion project to redevelop the Mumbai slum of Dharavi into a “world-class” district.

Opposition Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) had



pledged to reclaim all land given to the Adani group for redeveloping Asia’s largest slum and promised to scrap the project altogether if voted to power.

For Adani, who is facing bribery charges in a US court, the scrapping of his pet Dharavi project would have been a big setback.
