The Maharashtra government has set up the Self-Group Redevelopment Authority (SGRA) to speed up self-redevelopment projects in Mumbai, appointing BJP MLC Pravin Darekar as chairman with Minister of State status. Acting alongside MHADA as the nodal agency, SGRA aims to help housing societies navigate disputes and accelerate approvals for self-managed redevelopment. The move builds on past government resolutions from 2019 encouraging societies to undertake redevelopment themselves.

SGRA is expected to accelerate redevelopment of old buildings where projects have been delayed due to disputes among residents or disagreements with planning authorities. In this framework, MHADA will act as the nodal agency, coordinating approvals and ensuring timely execution.
Self-redevelopment allows housing societies to manage redevelopment independently by hiring project management consultants, architects, and contractors, rather than relying on external builders. Under this system, all benefits of redevelopment remain with the society and individual members.
The government had previously set up a committee under Darekar to examine challenges in self-redevelopment. Following its recommendations, Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis approved the formation of SGRA and Darekar's appointment through a government resolution. Under the 2019 GR, registered cooperative housing societies were offered concessions to encourage self-redevelopment, and the Mumbai District Cooperative Bank committed to financing such projects.
