BMC Plans Digital Portal to Monitor Construction Waste and Address Illegal Dumping

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to launch a digital portal to enhance compliance and transparency in managing Construction and Demolition (C D) waste in Mumbai. Inspired by Delhi's Malba Portal, the platform will enable project registration, real-time debris tracking, and violation reporting. With Mumbai generating nearly 8,000 metric tonnes of C D waste daily, the portal aims to curb widespread illegal dumping by integrating data from developers, contractors, and multiple civic agencies, supported by mobile apps and vehicle tracking systems. Strict penalties for violations are also proposed.
