Mumbai Plans Water Cuts and Loss Reduction to Sustain Supply Until Mid-2027
Mumbai's water supply is projected to last until mid-2027 if a 10% water cut is maintained and reservoir reserves are preserved, according to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) data. The city currently loses about 34% of its 4,100 million litres daily supply to leakages and theft. The BMC plans to reduce these losses by 10%, potentially recovering nearly 400 million litres daily. Measures include regularizing unauthorized connections and implementing a tanker policy to prioritize drinking water amid concerns of future scarcity.
