Overview
- Government agencies were ordered after Thursday's war‑room review to ensure major transport, river‑rejuvenation and redevelopment projects finish within three to three‑and‑a‑half years.
- Tenders must include contractors' past time‑performance and officials were told not to award new work to firms that repeatedly delay projects.
- The CM set project‑specific targets, including three‑monthly milestones for the Thane‑Borivali twin tunnel and a January 2029 deadline for the Goregaon‑Mulund twin tunnel.
- For urban redevelopment, officials were directed to offer state GST relief for Dharavi businesses, provide rent assistance and fast possession for BDD chawl sites so construction can begin quickly.
- Officials were ordered to secure fuel and water supplies, speed up land acquisition for the Virar‑Alibaug corridor and plan to capture rising land value so projects reduce cost overruns and formalise local economies while requiring careful resident relocation.
