BMC Seeks Consultant for Rs 1,800 Crore Mithi River Package 3 with Rehabilitation Challenges
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is advancing Package 3 of the Mithi River Rejuvenation Project, a Rs 1,800-crore initiative targeting the Kurla to Mahim stretch to reduce nearly 309 million litres per day of untreated sewage. The project includes installing 18 gate-pump systems, sewage interception, a pumping station, sewer lines, and retaining walls. Rehabilitation of about 2,000 families in Dharavi, Kurla, Sakinaka, and Vakola poses a significant challenge. The BMC has invited bids for a Project Management Consultant to oversee design, construction, and operations, aiming for completion by December 2029.
