Mumbai's vertical expansion couldn't get any more real. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is all set to build multi-storeyed public toilets across the city. Around Rs 422 crore will be spent initially on the construction and installation of about 14,000 toilet seats. Another tender for 8,000 more toilet seats is in the pipeline.

The plan is to develop a total of 22,000 toilet seats as part of the Swacch Bharat Mission with the first proposal approved by the BMC standing committee. As part of this project, the civic body will redevelop the old and dilapidated public toilets while adding more seats to them.
