The same roads that were included in the earlier concreting contract 2022 were included in the new tender floated, alleged Congress in a press conference held on Tuesday. Varsha Gaikavad, president of Mumbai Congress said the BMC is fooling citizens by adding the same roads in two contracts and denying information to public representatives. BMC chief Iqbal Singh Chahal said, if any such issue is there, it will be investigated.

The roads that have appeared in both the 2022 & 2024 tenders include I C Colony Road, I C Colony Road 2, I C Colony Road 3 I C Colony Road 4, I C Colony Road 5, and Holy Cross Road. Mumbai has a road network of 2,050 km of which 989.84 km of roads had already been concreted before 2022. The BMC started concreting 210 km of roads in January 2022 and floated tenders for concreting 397 km more roads in December 2022 at a cost of Rs 6080 crore excluding 18 per cent GST. Now the BMC has floated another tender for the rest of the 400 km roads at an estimated cost of Rs 6250 crore plus 18 percent GST.
