The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to appoint a committee of experts to oversee environmental aspects of the Powai Lake Rejuvenation Project and to enhance the biodiversity around it. The step has been taken as the BMC started various works in and around the lake and there was opposition from environmentalists. 

The BMC has already appointed a committee of experts including Kedar Bhide (wildlife biologist, herpetologist) for guidance/recommendations to improve the aquatic life in the lake and to implement measures to improve the environment around it.
