The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has extended the deadline for submitting the Expression of Interest (EOI) to develop green spaces on the reclaimed land of the Coastal Road. The new deadline is now March 7, with the project still expected to be completed by the end of the year.

The BMC plans to develop green spaces across over 70 hectares of reclaimed land along the Coastal Road. An official said, “The estimated cost of the project is R400 crore. While we have the capacity to fund it, maintaining the green spaces will be a financial burden on the BMC. Therefore, we have decided to execute the project under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR),” the official added.
