Overview

• The temple trust is set to acquire Ram Mansion, a 708 sq m, three-storey residential block with 20 flats, after approval from the state law and judiciary department.
• Negotiations are underway to acquire the Siddhivinayak Cooperative Housing Society on trust-owned land, which would bring the assembled footprint to about 1,800 sq m.
• Planned additions include a structured darshan queue complex modeled on Shirdi, a prasadalaya, toilets, changing rooms for devotees, and space for staff.
• The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation will issue an imminent tender for an underground facility to park about 450 cars beneath the adjoining maidan.
• A three-phase upgrade led by the BMC—starting with two underground parking lots and a redesigned Siddhi Gate—is budgeted at over ₹100 crore for phase one and targeted for completion within 12 months of approvals, with no alteration to the sanctum.
