Dateline: NAVI MUMBAI — In a major policy shift on September 29, 2026, CIDCO announced that existing homeowners can now apply for select First Come First Serve flats in Kharghar.
The Details
CIDCO has significantly relaxed its eligibility criteria to clear its ready-to-move housing inventory. As of September 29, 2026, Navi Mumbai residents who already own a dwelling unit in the city are officially permitted to apply for select homes under the First Come First Serve (FCFS) scheme.
Previously, many City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) housing lotteries and direct booking schemes were strictly reserved for first-time homebuyers who did not own any property. The new, relaxed policy targets the remaining unsold premium and affordable inventory located in highly developed nodes like Kharghar and Seawoods.
By lifting this ownership restriction, CIDCO is allowing local families to easily upgrade their residences or purchase secondary investment properties directly from the planning authority without facing disqualification.
Why It Matters for Kharghar
The promoter of BharatOne Spaces brings a rich experience of 30 years in various fields of business, emphasizing that immediate inventory absorption dictates retail growth. When housing schemes restrict buyers, inventory sits empty for months. By opening the Kharghar FCFS flats to existing homeowners, CIDCO guarantees that these ready-to-move units will sell out rapidly.
For commercial real estate investors and retail tenants operating near Sector 36 and the Valley Shilp complex, this translates to an immediate, permanent expansion of the local consumer base. Existing homeowners are typically affluent upgrade buyers; introducing this demographic into Kharghar’s new sectors guarantees sustained daily footfall and higher consumer spending for local supermarkets, healthcare clinics, and premium service providers.
