The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued a work order for the concreting of 912 roads in Mumbai in January 2023. It also performed a groundbreaking ceremony for 111 of those roads in the month of February at a mega event in the presence of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. But work has begun on only 86 of those roads.
The BMC has decided to concrete 400 km of roads as soon as possible as a solution to the problem of potholes. It will spend Rs 6,000 crore on this mega concreting project. As per an estimate, the project will be complete by 2026. The proposal for it was approved in January 2023. In the past three months, BMC has started work on only 86 roads.
