After 92 months and expenditure&nbsp;of Rs 106 crore, the construction of the new office building&nbsp;of Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA)&nbsp;is still incomplete, according to an RTI query.
RTI activist Anil Galgali had sought information about&nbsp;progress of the construction. The building is coming up behind&nbsp;the current office of MMRDA in Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai.
As per the information provided by the government, slow&nbsp;pace of the work caused a cost escalation of Rs 19 crore.
According to the reply of executive engineer of MMRDA, M&nbsp;Y Patil, proposal for new office building was first moved on&nbsp;December 24, 2007.
The sanctioned basic cost was Rs 87 crore and it was&nbsp;to be completed by December 2012. But despite three extensions -- first till September 2013, then till December 2014 and then again till May 2015 -- the work remains incomplete.
The MMRDA has blamed other authorities such as&nbsp;Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, the state environment&nbsp;department, etc., for the delayed permissions, as well as the&nbsp;changes in original plan, for the delay in completion of work.
The project is being executed by Relcon Infraprojects.&nbsp;Interior decoration contract has been awarded to Godrej, while&nbsp;electrification and air-conditioning contract has been given&nbsp;to Pravin Electrical.
The building will have nine floors and two service&nbsp;floors.
