The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with IIT Bombay to ensure good quality of road concreting. As per the arrangement, IIT-B experts will conduct a quality audit of concreted roads to ensure they are high quality.

The BMC has started the concreting of 392 km of road and work orders have been issued for concreting 309 km. Recently, civic authorities received complaints of cracks on newly concreted roads. While these issues were fixed, the BMC decided to carry out strict quality audits of the roads concreted. There are already third-party auditors, but BMC decided to appoint IIT-B for the task.
