Mumbai Coastal Road Development Advances with Landscaping and Dahisar-Bhayander Link Road Approval
Mumbai's coastal road development includes a 110-hectare reclaimed land area with landscaping and public spaces managed by Tata Group, BMC, and Reliance Industries. Reliance's plan features mostly free attractions, with up to 15% ticketed activities approved by the Supreme Court. Separately, BMC approved a Rs 3,304-crore elevated Dahisar-Bhayander Link Road as part of the coastal road's northern phase, despite opposition concerns over funding and benefits to Mumbai taxpayers for a project extending beyond city limits.
