SRA Rolls Out SoftTech’s AutoDCR to Accelerate Urban Redevelopment

Mumbai, June 17, 2025: In a significant move to modernise urban development in Mumbai, the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) of Brihanmumbai has officially launched the SoftTech AutoDCR Online Building Permission System.
The digital initiative marks a transformative shift in how slum rehabilitation project proposals are processed, aiming to enhance efficiency, ensure transparency and deliver faster approvals by minimising manual interventions.
Developed by SoftTech Engineers Limited, a company specialising in technological solutions for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, the AutoDCR system automates the scrutiny and approval of building plans. It allows developers to submit proposals online, significantly cutting down the traditionally time-consuming and paper-heavy processes.
This automation is expected to reduce delays, improve regulatory compliance and create a more streamlined experience for SRA stakeholders involved in slum redevelopment.

“This launch is not just about digitising a process—it’s about redefining how cities can respond to the needs of their most vulnerable communities with speed, clarity and accountability. We’re committed to building tools that don’t just automate but empower better decisions and outcomes on the ground,” said Vijay Gupta, MD and CEO, Softtech Engineers.
The move aligns with SRA’s broader vision to integrate advanced technology into urban governance. By shifting to a fully digital approval system, the authority seeks to improve the ease of doing business in the construction sector and support a more accountable and responsive regulatory framework. This is especially crucial in slum rehabilitation, where timely project execution can directly impact the quality of life for thousands of residents.
