The Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has approved the much-awaited Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) for Mumbai and Mumbai suburbs in Maharashtra. The plan would dictate the quantum of land parcels that can be opened for real estate and construction activities. Several housing societies and slums in the city will now be eligible for redevelopment based on the plan as these areas will get a Floor Space Index (FSI) or permissible development equal to other parts of the city. The National Coastal Zone Management Authority (NCZMA) had recommended the CZMPs of Mumbai City and Mumbai suburban district of Maharashtra for approval as per CRZ Notification 2019. NCZMA  further decided that the CZMP of Mumbai City and Mumbai suburban districts shall also include the ESZ, if any, and revise the CZMP accordingly, if required. NCZMA also decided that the activities, projects prohibited in the notified ESZ falling within approved CZMP, if any, shall remain prohibited in that area, the CRZ notification said.
