The Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) has completed the survey of over 25,000 tenements out of a total 60,000 despite challenges posed by two elections and a prolonged monsoon.
Despite challenges, 25,000 Dharavi tenements surveyed

Officials said that the survey holds monumental significance and is the single most critical step towards swift and successful execution of this ambitious plan, which aims to transform Dharavi into a modern, liveable community while ensuring that no resident is displaced. Officials added that a project of this scale and magnitude cannot move forward without an accurate and comprehensive survey.

As per project representatives, "The survey is a complex operation requiring meticulous effort and coordination. It begins with teams conducting land reconnaissance, followed by the organised numbering of tenements. Advanced Lidar mapping technology is then utilised to capture the area's layout. Once the base map is validated, the most critical phase begins: door-to-door verification. Every tenement is assigned a unique identification code based on a predetermined system."
