The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) was set up 37 years ago to build and develop roads and flyovers across the state. But of late, the government agency seems more keen to set up F1 tracks and low-cost homes instead of focusing on the deplorable condition of roads in Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra.

Its latest plan for a low cost housing project and a Formula 1 racing track has been criticised by transport experts who say that MSRDC should concentrate on road-related projects. It should be noted that MSRDC which has already faced criticism for these projects from all quarters has made a provision of around Rs 30 crore in its current budget.
