BMC Plans Rs 1,800-Crore Mithi River Project Completion by 2029
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) aims to complete the third phase of the Mithi River rejuvenation project by December 2029. This Rs 1,800-crore initiative, awarded to an Adani Group-led consortium, targets flooding and sewage issues along the Kurla to Mahim stretch. Key measures include installing 18 gate-pump systems to prevent tidal backflow, sewage interception and diversion to treatment plants, and constructing retaining walls and service roads. Rehabilitation of around 2,000 families in affected areas remains a significant challenge.
