The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has taken a significant step by approving the felling of 184 trees to pave the way for a new water treatment plant in Bhandup. This decision, announced on October 7, 2026, is part of a larger initiative involving an investment of ₹4,124 crore aimed at improving the city's water supply system.
The construction of the water plant is intended to address the ongoing water supply challenges faced by Mumbai, a city known for its dense population and increasing water demands. By expanding the infrastructure to include this plant, the BMC hopes to enhance the distribution and quality of water available to residents throughout the city.
As the BMC moves forward with this project, the approval marks a significant moment in Mumbai's ongoing efforts to address water needs.
