Ashirwad Redevelopment, Azad Nagar, Andheri

A residential redevelopment at Azad Nagar, Andheri, Mumbai, on a plot of 2,484 sq m with a built-up area of about 13,414 sq m. The scheme rehouses the existing members and adds homes for sale, in two wings of 18 floors over basements: Wing A with two- and three-bedroom homes and Wing B with two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, about 115 in all, with ten lifts, stack parking, a 6 m ramp to the basements and a 3 m single drive way. On a tight city plot, every service needs its place before the architecture is fixed: the underground tanks and pump room in the basements, the sewage plant and organic waste converter, and two transformers and a DG set at ground level with a clear 4.5 m drive way for the transformer to be brought in. The architecture is the architect's; our work is the MEPF design and the environmental clearance data behind it.

We prepared the MEPF design data for the environmental clearance in September and October 2026. Load: every flat at 75 W per sq m of carpet area, ten 15 HP lifts, the common lighting, pumps, ventilation and stair pressurisation, an amenity and landscape load, and EV charging for 30% of the parking - 2,133 kW connected and 982 kW of maximum demand, which is 1,090 kVA at 0.9 power factor on two 630 kVA transformers; a 320 kVA DG set sized on the lifts (with their starting current), pumps, ventilation and external loads at 70% diversity; and fire pumps of 100 HP (electric main hydrant and diesel standby) with a 5 HP jockey pump. Water: 68.985 kL a day for 511 residents at 135 litres a person, 69 kL of domestic, 23 kL of flushing and 200 kL of fire water in the underground tanks at basements 1 and 2, terrace tanks for each wing, and a 70 KLD sewage plant that returns 23 kL a day to flushing. Energy: 68.74 kW of solar panels, 8,625 litres a day of solar hot water, lighting timers and variable-speed lift and pump drives, which together save 20.5% of the 1,509 MWh the project would use each year. The external MEP services location layout places the underground tanks, pump room, sewage plant, organic waste converter, transformers and DG set on the basement and ground floor plans, issued in October 2026.
