Mumbai’s road concreting progress remains slow despite new contracts and higher costs

Road work last year in Mumbai
The roadworks initiated by the BMC two years ago are still incomplete, with only 25 per cent of the roads finished compared to last year. With 262 km of roadwork spilling over and an average completion rate of 200 km per year, the BMC is in the final stages of awarding contracts for the remaining 465 km of roads. At the current pace, it will take another four years to complete the road concreting work.
Mumbai’s road network spans 2,050 km, and approximately 1,224 km have been concreted so far. The BMC is in the process of awarding contracts for 465 km of roads but has only completed 80 km out of 332 km of roads that were started 15 months ago. Additionally, the corporation still needs to finish 242 km of roads that began in January 2022.
