The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has completed 30 per cent of its road concreting project in one and a half years and aims to finish the remaining 70 per cent within the next eight months. The project, initiated in January 2023, involves converting 392 km of asphalt roads to concrete at a cost of Rs 6,050 crore, with only 30 per cent of the work completed so far.

Additional Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar, during a meeting with BMC officials, set a 240-day deadline to finish the first phase of the 392 km road concreting. He directed sub-engineers to have assistant engineers create a detailed list of roads for the first and second phases and to prepare a monthly schedule for systematic follow-up, emphasising that incomplete roads should be prioritised.
