Adani Navbharat Developers Private Limited (ANDPL), the special purpose vehicle undertaking the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP), has launched an AI platform named Dharavi Didi that will act as a 24x7 interactive AI companion for residents with questions about the project's redevelopment and rehabilitation. According to an ANDPL statement, the platform gives residents instant access to official information on surveys, eligibility, documentation, rehabilitation and every stage of the redevelopment journey.
The AI platform will be accessible through video calls, voice calls and WhatsApp, and will interact in Hindi, Marathi and English. Support for Tamil, Telugu and Gujarati will be introduced in the coming months, reflecting Dharavi's cultural and linguistic diversity, the company said.
An ANDPL official said Dharavi Didi is available round the clock to provide clear answers in a simple and conversational manner on surveys, eligibility, required documents and project updates, and that residents no longer have to wait for office hours to receive answers from official sources. The official added that the objective is to ensure every resident has direct access to accurate and verified information, with the platform designed to build confidence through transparency and help residents make informed decisions throughout the redevelopment journey.
The company said the name reflects the role the platform is intended to play. Like an elder sister who patiently listens, explains and guides, Dharavi Didi has been created as a trusted companion for residents navigating one of the most significant transitions in their lives. The platform has been built with simplicity in mind and is designed to be accessible even for first-time digital users.

ANDPL is a joint venture between the Government of Maharashtra and the Adani Group, executing what has been described as the largest urban rejuvenation project in the world and the first step toward making Mumbai slum-free.
