The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has claimed to tackle 318 out of 386 flooding spots by spending crores of rupees on pumping stations, widening nullahs and gutters, and improving drainage systems. But it is still going to get 380 water pumps on rent for the monsoons of 2022 and 2023 at a cost of Rs 92.70 crore. The budget for the water pumps for 2022-23 has increased by 12 per cent.

In 2020, the BMC had arranged 279 pumps despite claiming there were only 24 flooding spots. But in 2020, it had to arrange for 86 more water pumps. Every year, the budget speech of the municipal commissioner mentions chronic flooding spots in the city and how the BMC tackled 80 per cent of them.
