The tender dates for the construction of an underground parking lot at Patwardhan Park have been postponed once again, marking the ninth time, this time for a duration of two months. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) introduced an estimated Rs 75 crore tender for the project in March. Since then, the tender dates have undergone several extensions. The matter is currently in court, with a hearing expected on September 13.

According to the corrigendum to the tender, the last date for the sale of the tender has been extended from August 25 to October 25, 2023. Petitioners Bhathena and Alan Abraham had filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Bombay High Court in May, opposing the construction of an underground facility beneath an open space.
