In the Pagdi system, the only differentiating element is that the tenant becomes a part-owner of the premises and not of the land. ... In case of sub-letting, the old tenant who now is an owner and the original landlord of the property shall share the rent amount amongst themselves, usually at a 35:65 ratio.

Local laws with terms and conditions of agreement govern the subject matter. It is better to seek professional services of a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts and advise.

Ownership and tenancy laws differ from state to state, you have not mentioned the state of your residence.

The property is in Maharashtra state. And want to know who will bear the construction coat of redevelopment. Tenant or the owner.

In Maharashtra it is the general practice that the construction cost is borne entirely by the owner/developer and the alternative accomodation in the new building is given to the legal tenant on ownership basis with a registered owbership document. The tenant does not have to bear any cost. Further, as per the new MCGM development regulations, the tenant has to be offered about 30% more carpet area in the new flat at no extra cost.

If the construction coat as per government norms. Suppose to be 1500 rs. Is paid by tenant. Then he can be the owner of that flat

In Maharashtra the tenant becomes the owner of the flat in new building without paying anything.

If you are a legal tenant as per the Maharashtra Rent Act 1999, you do not have to pay anything for the ownership of the flat in the new building, you get it in exchange for surrendering your legal tenancy rights. Consult any rent act advocate and he will explain your rights to you.
