History

In 1986, the Hiranandani group signed a tripartite agreement between the group, the state of Maharashtra, and the MMRDA for developing 93 hectares (230 acres) of land and for constructing affordable housing. The contract was signed at the rate of ₹0.40 (equivalent to ₹5.00 or 5.2¢ US in 2023) per acre or ₹0.99 (equivalent to ₹13 or 13.5¢ US in 2023) per hectare. As per the contract, the real estate developer was to construct apartments measuring 40 m2 (430 ft2) and 80 m2 (861 ft2) (50% each) as "Medium Income Group Homes" (affordable housing).

Construction started in 1989, when the area was barren and hilly.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Hiranandani Gardens, Mumbai” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Hiranandani, Gardens and Mumbai provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23808255. Authority coordinates are 19.119, 72.912. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986, 2023 and 1989.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
