BMC Proposes Panel of 29 Consultants to Oversee Mumbai Infrastructure Projects
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to appoint a panel of 29 technical consultancy firms for five years to oversee the planning, design, and supervision of major bridge, flyover, and tunnel projects. This move aims to address past design flaws and delays, such as issues with the Mrinaltai Gore Flyover and Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge. The proposal includes a cap on consultancy fees and penalty clauses for consultants responsible for significant design errors or cost overruns, pending approval by the civic standing committee.
