According to Kailash Agarwal, chairman, Avighna India Limited which was the first firm to undertake cluster redevelopment covering 6.75 acres in Lalbaug, the scheme is still riddled with hurdles. An example of this is the Saifee Burhani Upliftment Project which is undertaking a cluster revamp spread across 16.50 acres at Bhendi Bazaar. In 2008, the State Government unveiled the Cluster Redevelopment Scheme for the island city to ensure a holistic revamp of the belt with ample infrastructure. In the suburbs, the plot area is required to be 2.5 acres (10,000 square metres). According to the Maharashtra Societies Welfare Association, the cluster scheme is very difficult to implement in the suburbs.
