A halt on transport of construction debris and other related transport may also lead to a huge set back to the numerous ongoing public infrastructure projects which include the new metro lines, bridges, links and connectors. These have already been delayed twice during the pandemic and later due to change of state government. Any further revision in deadlines would mean further cost escalations, delay and more wait for Mumbaikars. The infrastructure and transport observers in the city are worried about the projects being delayed any further.

Following the worsened AQI index in the city, and the subsequent temporary halt on the transportation of all construction material, enthusiasts fear it may slow down and stop the numerous ongoing public infra and transport projects in the city.
