“During redevelopment, tenants will have to stay elsewhere and the amount of rent fixed at 20,000 per month is very less. Hence, the government will consider increasing the rent to 30,000 per month,” Bhoyar said.

No objection certificates (NoC) issued to developers for redevelopment of cessed buildings under Development Control Regulation (DCR) 33 (7) will be also cancelled in cases where work has not commenced despite the passage of three years, the minister said.

Bhoyar was responding to complaints of delay in the redevelopment of cessed buildings, raised by several legislators from the city cutting across party lines.
