Confirming the same, MMRDA Joint Project Director Dilip Kawatkar said, “Finally the convention center has received a final clearance from the MoEF and now the construction on the plot can start.”

In March this year, the state’s Experts Appraisal Committee (STAC) of the environment ministry had recommended a proposed convention center and commercial complex in BKC for clearance which will be spread across 75,000 square meters and will accommodate 25,000 people. The center will come up on plot C-64 in BKC.
