The Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act specify that every municipal corporation must prepare a development plan to be implemented over 20 years. The last time the development plan was prepared for Mumbai was in 1981 and it was adopted only thirteen years later, in 1994. Now in accordance to the MRTP Act a new Development plan, which would be valid for further 20 years has already been prepared and ratified by 2014 and will be in force till 2034 or till such time that the next Development Plan is prepared and adopted.

The current development plan defines land reservations- (that is land that is set aside for a specific public purpose) amenities, transportation networks and services through a coloured land-use map of the entire city. In order to prepare this plan, Mumbai Municipal Corporation has taken the assistance of leading consultant firms to collate and compile all of the data available on the city before making the plan.

For years, Mumbai’s Development Plans focused on residential real estate development. This time, the focus has been equally placed on commercial real estate with twin focus – decongesting existing CBD areas as also on extending the ‘walk to work’ aspect in newer locations. The Mumbai Development Plan 2034 brings in a serious effort to ensure the target of affordable homes is met within a reasonable time, given the opening up of various categories of land on which such construction was earlier not allowed.

This plan is also an important factor to ascertain the road access to a particular property to enable calculate the maximum permissible Floor Space Index (FSI) on the property.
