The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Reliance Industries has resubmitted a revised master plan for the Mumbai Coastal Road open spaces to the BMC, covering the reclaimed stretch from Nepeansea Road to Worli.
- The revision was needed because the Supreme Court capped ticketed recreational facilities and access-controlled areas at 15% of the open spaces, while the earlier plan had 19%.
- The revised plan includes gardens, an observation deck, a native tree museum, pet parks, cultural spaces and six planning zones, with 85% remaining freely accessible.
- Residents of Breach Candy and nearby areas have opposed the plan, objecting to multiple entry points from their neighbourhood and seeking a wider green buffer.
- The BMC is currently scrutinising the revised plans, and its decision will shape public access to the reclaimed coastal stretch.
What to watch next
- Whether BMC approves the revised plan or seeks further changes after scrutiny.
- How resident objections from Breach Candy, including demands for a wider green buffer and written response, are addressed.
- Whether the 15% cap on ticketed facilities is confirmed as compliant in the final approved plan.
