The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Mumbai has revealed plans to monetize its properties, as announced by the municipal commissioner, according to Economic Times. The move is part of an initiative to leverage the civic body's assets for financial gains.

The announcement signals the BMC's strategic approach to optimize its real estate holdings and generate revenue. The details of the property monetization strategy, including which properties will be involved and the intended use of the generated funds, are yet to be disclosed.

This move reflects a proactive stance by the civic body in managing its assets to support the city's growth and address various urban challenges.
