In the past 15 days — since the Model Code of Conduct was lifted on January 16 post the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election results — the civic body has floated 290 tenders for various works across the city. The BMC couldn’t float any tenders between December 15, 2025 and January 16, 2026, rendering small works pending throughout the period.

Several key departments have floated tenders for crucial projects. These include tenders from the bridges department for demolition and reconstruction of two vehicular flyovers across the Irla nullah in Andheri — at a cost of approximately Rs 31 crore — and repairs to the structures of various bridges in Bhandup at a cost of approximately Rs 5 crore. The environment department has issued tenders for procurement of water misting units to curb dust pollution in wards across the city, while the storm water drains department has issued tenders to enable pre-monsoon desilting work.
