The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will soon award road works worth approximately Rs 1,500 crore on design, build and transfer (DBT) basis. This will be the first time after discussions with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, that the BMC will give out road works based on DBT, where the maintenance of the roads will be the responsibility of the contractors for 10 years."

Road works for about 150 km are likely to be drafted after instructions from municipal commissioner Praveen Pardeshi over DBT basis. BMC officials will start giving out the new road works where the civic body will just govern the work and closely monitor it just like it is doing in the case of construction of bridges, currently.
