The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has started inviting tenders for the second phase of the work for turning India United Mill 2 and 3 at Kalachowki into a textile museum. The main work will start in the third phase, with the civic body hoping to complete the project in about one year. A textile museum in the area of 32,000 square metres was planned in 2019, with an estimated cost of Rs 200 crore. It was supposed to be completed and open to the public in 2024.

The first phase of the project, which began in 2022, includes a mural, amphitheatre, souvenir shop, and fountain in the mill pond. For the second phase, the civic body has invited tenders to make a parking space and toilet. The BMC will further invite tenders to strengthen the dilapidated structure of the building.
