Mumbai Sets May 31 Deadline to Complete Road Concretisation Projects

The BMC halts new road excavations and focuses on finishing ongoing works to address public frustration over delays and disruptions.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced that no new roads will be excavated for concretisation, with all ongoing projects to be completed by May 31, 2025.
Mumbai residents have expressed anger over prolonged roadworks causing traffic congestion, pollution, and significant inconvenience across the city.
BMC officials have directed contractors to barricade work zones, maintain road quality, and provide clear project timelines at work sites to minimize disruptions.
Some residents have successfully stopped the excavation of well-maintained roads, citing unnecessary disruptions and allegations of mismanagement by contractors.
The decision to concretise Mumbai’s roads aims to eliminate potholes, with 1,000 km already completed and 701 km under construction across the city.
