The Maharashtra government unveiled the Mumbai Transformation Plan 2027, prioritising roads, metro expansion and housing within a broader urban renewal drive. The chief minister said the roadmap aims to make the Mumbai Metropolitan Region an economic hub and reach $825 bn by 2047, with 30 new business hubs and 30 transport projects. The plan includes Water Metro services, an EduCity and proposals for Third and Fourth Mumbai. Major infrastructure works include the Goregaon-Mulund tunnel, the North Coastal Road, flyovers, railway overbridges and east–west corridors. The government said infrastructure projects worth Rs 12.26 trillion (Rs 12.26 tn) are under execution or planned over the next three years. Commitments were made to expand the Metro network and related multimodal links. Housing and redevelopment will be driven by self-redevelopment, MHADA-led cluster schemes and the Dharavi Redevelopment Project. The chief minister said the Dharavi project is expected to be inaugurated by the Prime Minister within one and a half years and that around 10,000 homes may be ready, with industrial units exempt from GST for the first five years. MHADA plans around 0.108 million (0.108 mn) homes and Dharavi will rehabilitate nearly 0.16 million units. He defended the Mumbai–Pune Expressway Missing Link after a landslide caused a temporary disruption, saying traffic was restored within 18 hours and IIT experts have been asked to recommend corrective measures. The chief minister described the project as an engineering milestone and urged that development work not be targeted for political reasons. Cultural projects cited include the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Memorial at Indu Mill and the Balasaheb Thackeray Memorial, both expected by January 2027. Mangrove cover rose from 302.70 sq km to 315.09 sq km since 2021, an addition of 12.4 sq km. The government said it will consider pending demands including Funnel Zone, PTS and PAP housing, extension of the additional 0.5 FSI benefit, a unified public transport ticketing system and the DPR to extend Metro Line 2B to Chita Camp–Koliwada.
