The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to invite a tender to develop a bus hub, commercial, and financial centre at Octroi Nakas. BMC has decided to convert the empty land of Mankhurd and Dahisar Octroi Nakas into a bus, commercial, and financial hub. According to the BMC plan, all long-distance buses will halt at Octroi Nakas.

Places will be allotted to long-distance buses at Octroi Nakas with necessary logistics like charging and CNG stations, parking, eating houses, restaurants, bus bays, inquiry counters, and ticket booking counters. The transport hub will be developed to provide last-mile connectivity via BEST buses, trains, metro, and other private and public transport. BMC is even considering transit accommodation for travellers at an affordable cost and working men’s and women’s hostel dormitories as well. “We are planning to develop a self-sustainable development that also generates revenue for BMC. This will be a smart complex with all modern amenities,” the BMC official said.
