In a forward-looking move to invigorate Mumbai’s real estate sector, a consortium of developers has approached the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) with a proposal for a flexible payment mechanism — the 10-10-80 model. The initiative aims to streamline project financing, accelerate construction timelines, and ensure sustainable growth in the city’s property market.
The proposed payment system divides payments into three stages: an initial 10% at project launch, a subsequent 10% during mid-construction, and the remaining 80% upon completion. This structure intends to ease the financial burden on developers while maintaining consistent progress across projects.
If implemented, this flexible payment strategy could become a cornerstone of Mumbai’s real estate policy reforms, enabling smoother project lifecycles and healthier competition.
MCGM’s evaluation of the proposal underscores its potential to reshape Mumbai’s development landscape. By reducing upfront financial strain, the model could revive stalled projects, encourage fresh investments, and bring affordable housing closer to reality for middle-income buyers. This approach also aligns with broader goals of urban infrastructure growth and sustainable city planning.
The 10-10-80 model marks a pivotal shift toward a more pragmatic and balanced financing ecosystem in Mumbai’s real estate sector. If approved, it could set a benchmark for other cities, paving the way for flexible investment models that drive long-term growth and urban transformation.
