Nothing about the people currently living there..

I couldn't immediately find a single source that had all the information, but after reading a couple of articles, I've gathered the following.
Part of the development is the resettlement of 58,000 eligible families, who currently live in the slum, into newly developed tenements. Those housing units will be rent-free and built on neighboring land, to avoid having to move inhabitants of the slum into temporary housing during construction.
There are apparently another 58,000 ineligible families, who will be resettled in a different neighborhood of Mumbai, but I couldn't find an explanation for why some families are and some families aren't eligible.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Only problem is its estimated 700,000-1,000,000 live there.

Resettlement affects about 120,000 families, not individuals. These families often live together with 3 or even 4 generations, so 700,000 to 1,000,000 makes sense.
