BMC invites Rs 60.79 billion road concreting tenders

26 Nov 2022 CW Team

After cancelling road concreting tenders worth Rs 58 billion, the BMC has invited new tenders worth Rs 60.79 billion, a nearly Rs 2 billion increase in budget. To avoid flooding during the monsoon, the civic body will use 'porous concrete' – it lets rain water percolate and releases it in drainage – in key locations for new tenders.

The BMC has issued three tenders, one for the city, one for the eastern suburbs, and one for the western suburbs. The previous ones were cancelled due to a lack of interest. These road concreting projects will be carried out in areas such as Santacruz East and West, Andheri East and West, Malad, Goregaon, Kandivali, and Borivali in the western suburbs.
