# BMC panel approves 15-acre Mulund lease for Dharavi project 2026-08-14T14:12:48+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The BMC improvements committee approved a five-year lease of 15 acres at the Mulund dumping ground to the Dharavi Redevelopment Project on Friday. The site will house a casting yard, precast manufacturing facility and ready-mix concrete plant. The proposal passed despite opposition from Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress members, who questioned the absence of open tenders and said public land could be difficult to recover. The Times of India reports that the parcel contains 2.5 lakh to 3 lakh metric tonnes of legacy waste. Adani Navbharat Developers will fund remediation, soil stabilisation and levelling at an estimated Rs 20.04 crore. This will be adjusted against rent, leaving the BMC with Rs 83.44 crore, or about Rs 100 crore including GST. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: BMC, Congress, Dharavi Redevelopment Project, Mulund, Shiv Sena UBT Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bmc-panel-clears-mulund-dumping-ground-for-dharavi-yard/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
