BMC Awards Rs 14.4 Million Contract For Worli Seafront Cleaning

05 Nov 2025 CW Team

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has appointed a new contractor for the daily cleaning of the 3.5-kilometre Worli Koliwada seafront following the expiry of the previous agreement. The fresh contract, valued at Rs 14.4 million, will be effective for one year and represents a daily expenditure of around Rs 38,000.

While many of Mumbai’s beaches serve as popular tourist attractions, certain coastal stretches such as Worli Koliwada remain active fishing zones, providing livelihood to the local community. The BMC holds responsibility for ensuring these areas remain clean and hygienic.

Given the combination of continuous fishing activity and heavy visitor footfall, the coastline generates substantial waste each day. Additionally, floating debris carried in by tidal waves accumulates along the shore, making daily cleaning operations essential.

As the tenure of the previous contractor had ended, the civic body issued fresh tenders to select a new agency. After evaluating the bids, M/s Asian Traders Company was awarded the contract.

The BMC has allocated Rs 14.4 million (inclusive of applicable taxes) for the one-year cleaning operation. The current cost is comparable to last year’s expenditure, when the daily cleaning rate stood at Rs 38,050.

The civic administration aims to maintain consistent upkeep of the Worli seafront, ensuring both the fishing community and visitors benefit from a cleaner, safer coastal environment.
