An RTI activist has urged the Maharashtra government to reduce the Taraporewala Aquarium's entry fees, while saying that it has earned over Rs 4.50 crore in the first seven months of its operations after it was reopened following renovation.

Taraporewala Aquarium, located at Marine Drive in Mumbai, is the country's oldest aquarium and one of the city's main attractions as it hosts marine and freshwater fishes. It was re-opened after renovation on March 3 this year.
