Why Climate-Responsive Design MattersMaharashtra Govt Rejects Lease Renewal of Jeejeebhoy Trust Land in Mumbai
The Jeejeebhoy Trust's land lease for two plots in the Mazgaon neighbourhood of Mumbai has not been renewed by the Maharashtra government. The state revenue department made the decision in response to anomalies in the lease renewal payment procedure.
According to officials, the trust held leasehold rights over two government-owned plots — one measuring about 725.76 square metres and another approximately 9,154.10 square metres. The renewal payment was allegedly made into government accounts by Ekya Realty Pvt Ltd, a private company, instead of the trust.
Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule ordered that the amount deposited irregularly by the trust or the developer be refunded immediately. He stated that if the trust submits a fresh lease renewal application, it will be reviewed as per government policy.
Earlier, a government resolution dated September 24, 2025, had allowed for the refund and permitted renewal, and the refund process is already underway.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Sachin Ahir raised the issue, alleging that certain business entities were attempting to acquire the government land under the pretext of the trust. He demanded that the state take possession of the properties, auction them, and decide on their future development.
