Gautam Adani has shared his vision for the redevelopment of Dharavi, a bustling and diverse neighbourhood in Mumbai. The chairman of the Adani Group reminisced about his first encounter with Dharavi in the late 1970s, where he was captivated by the vibrant mix of cultures and languages from across India. Adani Properties, in November 2022, secured the bid to spearhead the redevelopment of the slum as the project's lead partner.

Recognising the challenges ahead, Adani acknowledged that the project is unique due to its scale and complexity. In an op-ed for The Hindu BusinessLine, he wrote that the plan would involve resettling approximately one million people and rehabilitating diverse businesses and trades thriving in Dharavi. 

“The new Dharavi will reflect the quintessential character of Mumbai — the spirit, grit, unity in diversity, colour and determination — without losing the timeless essence of the old Dharavi," Adani wrote.
