MMRDA Allocates Rs 2.1 Billion for Kalyan East Roads

22 Jul 2025 CW Team

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has sanctioned Rs 2.1 billion for two significant road projects in Kalyan East aimed at improving traffic flow and local infrastructure.

The first project involves widening and cementing the U-type road at an estimated cost of Rs 760 million. The second project entails constructing a cement road along the Malang Road stretch, from Chetna School to Nevali Naka, with a sanctioned budget of Rs 1.24 billion.

Shrikant Shinde, Lok Sabha MP for Kalyan, confirmed that both initiatives—covering the Kalyan East and Kalyan Rural assembly constituencies—have received administrative approval from the MMRDA.

The tendering process for the road works is expected to commence shortly. Despite its close proximity to Kalyan East railway station, the narrow width of the U-type road has long contributed to traffic congestion. Residents have repeatedly urged authorities to widen the road from Katemanivali to Siddharth Nagar and Tisgaon Naka. Officials noted that rising traffic volumes have intensified demand for upgrading the U-type road to facilitate smoother connectivity in the area.
