Mumbai: MMRDA eyes ₹3,000 crore revenue from 2 BKC plots
Eyeing ₹2,928.25 crore revenue in the next few months, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is looking to monetise a part of its land bank at the business district of Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The proceeds from leasing out of two plots will be utilised to finance several ongoing and planned infrastructure and transportation projects in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
This week, the MMRDA has called in for bids to lease out C13 and C19 plots in the G-Block of BKC. These plots will be on lease for a period of 80 years. The leasing activity is part of the MMRDA’s plans, as approved in its budget for the current fiscal, to raise ₹4,217 crore revenue from the sale of lands.
Though the plot is marked for commercial purposes, the documents accessed by The FPJ showed that up to 30% of the area can be used for residential spaces. With a reserve price of ₹3,44,500 per sq m of the built-up area, the MMRDA looks at generating a minimum of ₹2,928.25 crore in revenue. Of the two plots, C13 has an area of 7,017.90 sq m with a permissible built up area of 45,000 sq m, which translates into a reserve price of ₹1,550.25 crore. The second plot is 6,096.67 sq m, with a permissible built up area of 40,000 sq. m. The reserve price of C19 is ₹1,378 crore.
The last monetisation of plots was done in last October, when after a wait of four years, the MMRDA had managed to lease out two of its prime land parcels in the BKC for ₹2,067 crore.

Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024: Congress Alleges Discrepancies In EVM Numbers In Mira Bhayandar
Questioning the sanctity of the election process and accuracy of election results which are to be declared on counting day scheduled on Saturday (23, November), the Congress party has alleged discrepancies in the number of votes polled at various booths in the Mira Bhayandar (145) assembly constituency.
In his letter to the returning officer, Congress leader-Anil Sawant who was the election representative of MVA candidate- Muzaffar Hussain pointed out mismatch of 386 additional votes between the data in form 17-C and figures generated by the electronic voting machines (EVM), even as clarity eludes actual figures at some of the other booths.
Seeking an official explanation from the returning officer, Sawant has also alleged that the mock drill votes were also included in the polling figures. According to the figures released by the returning officer, the constituency recorded a voter turnout of 51.75 percent as 2,64,534 out of the 5,10,862 voters exercised their franchise.
However, form 17C shows a count of 51.67 percent which translates into a difference of 0.08 percent (386 votes) on the higher side. Moreover, the complainant has also raised a serious question mark on the delay in publication of the figures of the postal ballots.
While form 17A is used to record the details of every voter who comes into a polling booth and casts his/her vote, form 17C is an account of all the votes recorded. Under Rule 49S(2) of the Conduct of Elections Rules-1961, a presiding officer is mandated to furnish a copy of the entries made in form 17C to the polling agents of the candidates at the close of polling.
7C is crucial as the voter turnout data in this form can be used to legally challenge an election result. The Congress party is expected to take an aggressive stand if the anomalies are not rectified before the counting process.
