Mumbai Road Concretisation Deadline Set for May 31

Mumbai’s road concretisation drive is racing against time, with BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani setting a deadline of May 31 for completing all ongoing works. The directive aims to ensure the city’s roads are motorable before the monsoon arrives.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has undertaken a massive project to concretise all tar and paver block roads across the city. So far, 1,333 km of roads have been concretised, with the remaining work divided into two phases. Phase 1 covers 324 km (698 roads), while Phase 2 includes 377 km (1,420 roads). By May 31, BMC targets to finish 75% of Phase 1 and 50% of Phase 2.

During a recent review meeting, Gagrani also directed other departments—Storm Water Drains, Hydraulic Engineering, and others—to complete their ongoing works within the deadline. Additionally, private agencies involved in power and gas line installations must finish their projects, as no further road-digging permissions will be granted after concretisation.

Gagrani had earlier assured that BMC would not start new road projects until existing works are completed, addressing public concerns over excessive roadwork. However, essential repairs will still be allowed under strict monitoring.
