The constructing of a desalination plant by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will commence in 2023. The plant would desalinate water from the Arabian Sea, making it acceptable for drinking and cultivation. Though the city has a daily requirement for 4,400 MLD, BMC can only supply roughly 3,800 MLD — a 500-600 MLD gap. In order to alleviate Mumbai's water issue, the BMC proposed building a desalination plant that would deliver 200 MLD of water to inhabitants.
