Financial position of the MCGM
Before elaborating the revenue and capital budget
estimates for the year 2015-16, I feel it necessary to comment
on the present and future financial position of the MCGM,
particularly in the wake of noticeable downfall in the revenue
income from our main source of revenue i.e. Octroi, especially
in Octroi on crude oil since last year and likely abolition of
octroi on introduction of Goods & Service Act (GST) from
01.04.2016
As per the Budget Estimates for 2015-16, out of
estimated revenue income of `19,255.57 crore for Budget „A‟,
„B‟ and „E‟, the revenue from Octroi which is the main source
of revenue, is estimated to `7,900 crore which is about 41.03%.
Thus, Octroi continues to be the prime revenue source of
MCGM.
Octroi is a liquid source of revenue i.e. cash is collected
daily which is used as a working capital to run day-to-day
affairs of the MCGM. The main features of octroi are liquidity
and buoyancy which enables us to maintain our cash flow and
keeps us economically self-dependant. The crucial importance

of octroi in the finances of the MCGM is reflected in 8% to
10% annual increase and a receipt of more than Rs.15 crore
daily on an average.
Though the Property Tax is also one of the important
revenues of the MCGM, it has its own limitations and therefore
cannot be considered as an alternative to the Octroi.
The Union Government has introduced 122nd
Constitutional Amendments Bill in the Loksabha on
19th
December, 2014 to facilitate the introduction of the Goods
and Services Tax (GST) regime in India.
GST will replace all indirect taxes levied on goods and
services by the Central and State Governments. The above
amendment bill seeks to omit Entry 52 of the State List of the
Constitution of India which empowers the Municipal
Corporation to levy Octroi/LBT. Once this amendment is
enacted, the powers given to Municipal Corporations to levy
octroi will not be in existence.
Due to implementation of the GST, additional tax will be
assigned to States from where the supply of goods originates.
However, there is no clarity yet on the mechanism to offset the
revenue loss experienced by ULBs like Mumbai.

The abolition of octroi, which has remained the major
source of revenue and the crucial factor in budgetary planning
since last several years, will adversely impact our revenues. On
the other hand, seventh pay commission that comes into effect
the same year will increase the salary and pension expenditure.
In the above circumstances, fiscal restructuring of MCGM
has become necessary. MCGM may, therefore, be compelled
to enhance the existing taxes or introduce new taxes in the years
to come. The new taxes like Property Taxes on slums,
Transport Cess, Conservancy Cess and Fire Cess may be some
of the available alternatives for augmenting the municipal
revenue to meet our future revenue and capital expenditure
requirements. We may also request the Govt. that the EGS
Cess collected by us may be retained. Also periodically raising
various fees, rents etc. will also have to be undertaken.
Moreover, we will have to press with the State Govt. to
handover Professional Tax collected in Mumbai to MCGM.
Imposition of penalty on account of unauthorized
construction as per Section 152A of the MMC Act will also be
initiated in 2015-16.

Now, I enumerate provisions under Budget Estimates
„A‟, „B‟ & „E‟. The Budget Estimates for the year 2015-16
alongwith Budget Estimates and Revised Estimates for the
year 2014-15 (Budgets A,B & E) on Revenue Account are
given in the following Table :-

The above table shows that the Revised Estimates of
revenue income have decreased by `389.71 crore as compared
to the Budget Estimates of 2014-15. In the Budget Estimates
2014-15 income of `4,444.27 crore was estimated from
Development Plan department. In the Revised Estimates for
2014-15 it is revised to `5,074.82 crore showing an increase of

`630.55 crore as compared to Budget Estimates 2014-15. This
is mainly due to the slightly higher than the anticipated
realization of revenue income from the new source of premium
against fungible FSI. However, the gross income from octroi
estimated at `7,900 crore in the Budget Estimates of 2014-15
has been revised to `7,300 crore. Thus, as compared to the
Budget Estimates 2014-15, the income from octroi is likely to
be decreased by `600 crore and the gross income from the
source of Property Tax estimated at `2,259.66 crore in the B.E.
of 2014-15 has been revised to `2,150.00 crore. Thus, as
compared to the B.E. 2014-15, the income from Property Tax is
likely to be decreased by `109.66 crore.
In the year 2014-15, the Revised Estimate of Revenue
Expenditure is `17,567.48 crore as against Budget Estimates of
`17,957.65 crore showing decrease of `390.17crore. Likewise,
Revised Capital Expenditure is estimated at `5,747.54 crore as
against Budget Estimates of `8,111.43 crore. In the B.E.
2014-15, the total Capital Receipt was estimated to `8,113.61
crore. This included internal loan of `2,000 crore, withdrawal
from Special Fund of `3,556.07 crore and `200 crore from
Central Govt. for BRIMSTOWAD Project, contribution of
`1,044.50 crore from Revenue Account and other receipt of
`1,313.04 crore. As per Revised Estimates 2014-15, the Capital

Receipts are estimated to `5,767.88 crore in which no amount
of internal loan is proposed. It comprises withdrawal from
Special Funds to the tune of `3,039.80 crore, contribution of
`1,826 crore from Revenue Account and other receipts of
`902.08 crore. Due to revision in Capital Expenditure, there is
no need to raise internal loan of `2,000 crore as envisaged in
the B.E. 2014-15.
The estimated revenue for 2015-16 at `19,255.57 crore
exceeds the estimated revenue expenditure by `839.68 crore.
Hence, funds of `839 crore are proposed to be transferred to the
Capital Account.
The estimated Capital Expenditure for the year 2015-16
is `9,282.25 crore. It is estimated that internal loan of
`2,000 crore will have to be raised to meet this Capital
Expenditure.
For estimation details of various sources of income
vis-a-vis Budget Estimates of revenue income under Revised
Estimates for 2014-15 and the Budget Estimates for 2015-16,
I refer to Table 2 which gives the details of various sources of
income with comparative position of Budget Estimates for
2013-14.

GOVERNANCE ISSUES
Implementation of e-tendering procedure
Pursuant to issuance of the new G.R. under No.Meemeve efveCe&³e
ke´À.ceelebmeb/vemleer-2012/He´ke´À 273/39,meeceev³e He´Meemeve efJeYeeie dated
26.11.2014, it has been decided to mandatorily follow
e-tendering system for any tender costing above `3 lakhs.
Detailed guidelines in this regard are already circulated.
Operation of CFCs for 12 hours in a day
including Sundays and Holidays –
Last year pilot project of providing services at CFC for
12 hours in a day (8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m.) including all
Saturdays, Sundays (excluding 10 specified holidays) in a year
in G/N, H/E and L Wards has been undertaken.
After successful implementation of this project in these
Wards, it has been replicated in all 24 Wards with effect from
01.04.2014 which has reduced waiting time of citizens at CFCs
and facilitated providing citizens of Mumbai more and efficient
as well as dynamic services. Similarly, CFC has been started in
Municipal Head Office w.e.f. 15.08.2014.
The work of implementation of accepting online Earnest
Money Deposit is in process. Due to this, secrecy of bidders‟
information will be maintained.

Reforms in the Area of Performance Management
The renowned training institutes all over India are being
coordinated with help of Administrative Staff College of India
(ASCI), Hyderabad for imparting capacity building. Efforts are
being taken to make the grant available as against DPR
submitted to MoUD, Government of India.
For imparting capacity building trainings, a budget
provision of `25.26 crore has been proposed in the Budget
Estimates for the financial year 2015-16.
Upgradation of the infrastructure facilities
in MHADA Colonies.
There are 104 MHADA layouts in Mumbai. Due to
enhancement of FSI for MHADA colonies, it is necessary to
upgrade the infrastructure like sewer lines, storm water drains
and road network including streetlights in these colonies.
Upgradation of water supply network is done by MHADA
itself. Draft Policy for recovery of cost of upgradation of
infrastructure in MHADA Colonies is framed and the same is
being submitted for the concurrence of MHADA/GoM and
Standing Committee.
Pending approval to this policy, it is proposed to carry
out upgradation of infrastructure in MHADA colonies on
receipt of payment for carrying out these works from MHADA.

Similar policy will be framed for upgradation of
infrastructure in the MMRDA and Government properties.
ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS
Implementation of „Bill Tracking System‟
Administration has successfully implemented „Bill
Tracking System‟ in SAP system which can be used by vendors
through MCGM portal to enable them to track the status of their
bill payments. The system of tracker of notification is also
implemented in SAP system.
Implementation of scheme of „Group Insurance‟
for MCGM employees
A policy decision has been taken to implement a
comprehensive Group Health Insurance Scheme for all
municipal employees on the lines of the CGHS Scheme being
implemented for State Government employees in lieu of
different scattered schemes at present in existence. The
proposal for invitation of the “Request for Proposal” for
implementing this scheme from the shortlisted firms/institutions
in public sector providing such health insurance services is
under consideration. This scheme shall be cashless for
municipal employees as well as for their family which will be
implemented on "floater basis". The proposed scheme will
come in force in the ensuing financial year. A provision of

`75 crore is proposed for the proposed scheme in Revenue
Budget Estimates for 2015-16.
Dues from State Government
Municipal administration is vigorously pursuing
recoveries of outstanding dues from different departments of the
State Govt. Total outstanding dues from the various
departments of the State Govt. amounts to `2,739.88 crore on
account of Grant-in-aid, Property Tax, Water & Sewerage
Charges, MCGM‟s share in various taxes collected by the State
Govt., etc., by the end of November, 2014. This includes an
amount of `1,908.86 crore on account of grant-in-aid from
Education department of the State Govt. On the other hand,
an amount of `355.73 crore is payable to the State Govt. by the
MCGM.
Concerted efforts are being taken to recover the long
outstanding dues in the near future.
Structural audit and structural repairs and
reconstruction of municipal properties
Pursuant to an amendment in MMC Act, 1888
incorporating Section 353B, the structural auditing of
municipal properties has been taken up. Structural audit
reports of 450 buildings have been received. Out of these

450 buildings, structural repairs of 264 buildings are
required to be carried out. The works of structural repairs
of 48 buildings are in progress while the proposals for
structural repairs of 216 buildings are under process of
finalisation of estimates/ tenders in consultation with the
user departments/structural consultants.
I have proposed a substantial provision of
`531.83 crore under Budget „A‟, „B‟ and „E‟ and
`28.34 crore under Budget „G‟ in B.E. 2015-16 for project
management and consultancy charges for heritage
structures and other municipal properties, their structural
repairs, and for their demolition and reconstruction as per
recommendations in the audit report.
Unified schedule of rates
The Unified Schedule of Rates for the year 2013-14 has
been successfully launched and being implemented by all the
departments with effect from 09.09.2013.
The first revision to be used in the year 2015-16 is
nearing finalization and thereafter the entire mechanism will be
supported on software compatible with SAP with all cross
linkages e.g. specifications, drainage, rate analysis, master
material list, labour list and other supporting parameters.

Thereafter, the next revision will be dealt with by
respective departments such as H.E./Sewerage/Roads/
Ch.Eng.(M.&E.)/S.G./B.M.
This entire new mechanism will facilitate all Engineering
departments having all cross linkages and will also be useful to
Finance department for required auditing. This mechanism
shall also be additive parameter to speedy working out of
projects.
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Systematic
Improvement of Slum Infrastructure
Every year MCGM spends substantial funds on
improvement of Slum Infrastructure. However, due to lack of
systematic approach to development, no constructive
upgradation of Slum Infrastructure is seen despite spending this
amount at Ward level. It is, therefore, proposed to prepare a
wardwise Micro Management Master Plan (MMMP) for the
slum cluster in each ward alongwith its financial implications.
While preparing such MMMP, Macro as well as Micro
Mapping of the Slum Infrastructure will be done after assessing
the existing infrastructure through Architect or Urban Planner.
SOPs will be prepared for each and every activity of the
work to be executed for upgradation of Slum Infrastructure
after carrying out analysis of slum cluster. The funds allocated

for slum improvement under various G.L. Codes for a ward will
be integrated for implementation of MMMP.
Service Level Bench Marking (SLB)
The appointed consultant has studied the existing data
systems and based on the issue identification and gap analysis,
conceptualized an automated system for calculation of SLB
Indicators. A software developer will be appointed to
implement the MIS system for SLB calculation. It will help the
departments to monitor the service levels automatically with
defined data sources and calculation methodologies.
Creation of a new “Department of Business Development”
As mentioned in my last year‟s budget speech, a new
department of “Business Development” has been created to
target the “Ease of Doing Business” in Mumbai. The
department is now functional with a staff strength of 7 people
already on board and started working towards -
 Ease of Doing Business Target
 Business Process Re-engineering
 Single window clearance for all Permissions.
 Streamlining construction permits, on-line licensing
 Policy Response towards the initiatives by GoI & GoM
 Business Policies for attracting Green field investments
into Mumbai in sun rise sectors

 CBD infrastructure & connectivity – identifying
infrastructure bottlenecks
 Stake Holders‟ interaction for improving the business
environment by de-bottlenecking business issues
through open dialogue sessions.
 “Branding Mumbai” exercise which will further
consolidate and strengthen the status of Mumbai as an
International Business Hub.
Extension of services to the urban poor
With a view to extending various civic services to the
urban poor and improving the standard of these services, a total
provision of `8,471.03 crore is proposed in B.E. 2015-16 under
the following heads :-
(` in crore)
Gaothans, koliwadas and adivasipadas 27.19
Adhar Kendras 2.59
Upgradation of slums 447.64
Improvement, management and maintenance

Secondary Education 217.71
Health 3,042.31
Water Subsidies 1,437.32

Total 8,471.03

While making allocation for different sectors and
activities therein, I have kept in mind the obligation cast upon
Urban Local Bodies through the XII Schedule referred to by
Article 243W of the Constitution of India and Obligatory
duties under Section 61 of the MMC Act, 1888.
I, now discuss some of the important activities/services
and facilities related to Budget „A‟, „B‟ as well as „E‟.

Early Bird Incentive Scheme
In order to induce the tax payers and encourage them for
making early payments, this has been introduced for the first
time in the year 2014-15. As per this scheme, “Early Bird
Incentive” benefit of approximately `6 crore was availed by the
tax payers who paid taxes in advance.
Slum Assessment
There are approximately 15 lakh slum dwellers in
Mumbai. JnNURM makes it mandatory to levy Property Tax

on every structure in the city. Considering the fact that octroi,
the major source of revenue income of MCGM, will not be
available in 2016-17, we are studying the feasibility of levying
and recovering Property Tax on the hutments in slums.
Survey of properties
The survey of all the properties excluding slums will be
carried out through „360‟ degree Leader Survey by preparing
panoramic images. With the help of this technology, actual
information of properties/structures which remained out of tax
net will be available in the form of images enabling us to bring
all the properties under tax net.
OCTROI
The Union Govt. has introduced 122nd
Constitutional
Amendments Bill in the Lok Sabha to facilitate the introduction
of the Goods & Service Tax (GST) regime in India from
01.04.2016. Thus, the octroi which is the main source of
revenue of MCGM is likely to be abolished from 01.04.2016.
The proposed modernization of Octroi Check Posts has
therefore been stopped and also it has been decided not to
install devices like Vehicle Trackers, CCTVs etc. as they would
be rendered redundant after introduction of GST. However, in
the present circumstances in order to curb the evasion of octroi,
decision has been taken to install CCTV cameras at Octroi

Check Nakas initially for the period of 1 year and the procedure
for inviting the tender is nearing completion and the cameras
will be installed within short period.

1. The Regulation 32 has been amended by the State Govt.
in the year 2011 by virtue of which premium is recovered
by MCGM/State Govt. for grant of additional 0.33 F.S.I.
In the year 2014-15, it is proposed to generate `250 crore.
A provision for generating revenue of `350 crore is made
for 2015-16.
2. Similarly, modification to D.C. Regulation has also been
effected in the year 2012 to bring in the concept of
granting of fungible F.S.I. by charging premium. It is
anticipated that amount of `2,080 crore is likely to accrue
in the year 2014-15. In this case, we have already
recovered `1,596.78 crore till 30.01.2015 and S.R.A.

have collected `253.94 crore (approx.) (upto 30.01.2015).
We may achieve this target by the end of March, 2015.
3. The Regulatory provision for construction of public
parking space under Regulation 33(24) is also proposed
wherein substantial amount by way of premium for the
additional F.S.I. allowed under the regulation is likely to
be recovered.
4. So far as the work of revision of the Development Plan
(2014-2034) is concerned, the existing land use survey
has already been completed and existing land use maps
are also prepared. The report on preparatory study which
included existing situation, analysis, growth scenario and
vision for next twenty years (2014-2034) was prepared
and uploaded on MCGM website. Thereafter
20 workshops have been conducted by Development Plan
Department at the key sector level as well as
24 workshops have been conducted at Ward level to
integrate consultative process in planning. The proposed
land use maps are now being prepared after analyzing
existing situation, the future growth scenario upto 2034
and the inputs from workshops. The draft Development
Plan is likely to be prepared by February, 2015 and will
be published for invitation of suggestions/ objections
from public by April, 2015.

5. The work of development of GIS for all 24 Wards has
been successfully completed and D.P. remarks are given
through GIS system. The scanning/digitalization work
has also been completed for 6636 tikka sheets covering
all Wards of City and Suburbs.
6. It is also proposed to simplify approval process and
integrate „NOC‟ required for building approval process
by evolving a combined application form and creating an
on-line platform. The processes are proposed to be
substantially reduced both in terms of time as well as in
terms of procedures. This will greatly help in improving
the MCGM‟s rank in terms of “Ease of doing business”.

In pursuance of „Digital India‟ policy of Govt. of India,
the various initiatives are proposed which are -

1) Smart City Project
We have actively integrated e-governance initiatives into
our operations. Such initiatives helped us achieve transparency
and become more efficient. We are now in a position to
effectively spread information to residents of Mumbai on issues
that directly or indirectly affect them. A Smart City works
towards ensuring the best for Mumbai's people, regardless of
social status, age, income level, gender, etc. A Detailed
Project Report (DPR) for smart city initiative involving all
departments will be prepared during 2015-16 and
implementation will start.
2) Leveraging Cloud Computing
Implementation of the state-of-the-art cloud based
technology for data center is being planned. This transition will
help to improve flexibility of hardware resources, reduce
procurement, focus on more projects and upgrades. It will also
help in reduction of data center footprint and related expenses
once complete set up is ready. Various existing and new
applications will be deployed on latest hardware and software
platform, to work more efficiently.
3) MCGM 24x7 - M-Governance
The mobile application services are being launched for
payment of water bills, payment of property tax, renewal of

licenses (Shop & Establishment) and complaints management.
Mobile application technology will be applied to other fields
shortly. This is in sync with the Electronic Delivery of Services
Bill of Govt. of India, 2011.
4) Healthcare Management System
Steps have been taken to implement a comprehensive
Healthcare Management System covering all hospitals, medical
colleges and public health administration related offices to
provide efficient healthcare services to the citizens by
re-engineering the existing manual processes. Presently, bid
management is in progress.
By end of financial year 2015-16, site survey, hardware
deployment for hosting data and software, software
development and User Acceptance Test for (i) public health
system, (ii) hospital management system and (iii) education
management system are planned to be completed.
5) Cloud based Document Management System (DMS)
The DMS will serve as a repository for about 80 crore
images and be accessible to over 20,000 users within MCGM as
well as to citizens. The DMS shall be a major step in promoting
transparency while saving precious time and efforts on the part
of the citizens to source those documents by visiting MCGM
offices in person. Work has started in this respect.

6) Vehicle Tracking System
Vehicle Tracking System has been initiated in two
departments for pilot concept as mentioned below :-
I) SWM (G/South Ward)
(i) Site survey is completed.
(ii) 13 trucks were installed and configured with GPS
trackers and RFID readers.
(iii) G/N, Prabhadevi, D ward and Worli Garage were
installed with RFID readers.
(iv) The RFID reader has been installed and configured
at Mulund dumping and Mahalaxmi transfer
grounds.
(v) 78 bins across G/South were installed with 2 RFID
tags each .
II) SWD
(i) 6 trucks were installed and configured with GPS
trackers.
(ii) Control Room set up is in progress.
7) Disaster Recovery
To ensure smooth and continuous IT operations, Disaster
Recovery Site is being prepared. A project is in progress with
cloud based infrastructure and will be completed by 31st
March,
2015. This will make our IT operations resilient to disasters.
8) GIS (Geographical Information System)
Urban planning, regulating land use, managing roads,
tracking urban forestry and providing parking spaces require

accurate mapping information. In order to efficiently manage
operations, updated maps must be available to MCGM.
A holistic view of GIS implementation is being taken as
several departments within MCGM will require utility
information on a common base map. The GIS initiatives will
thus enable various departments to collaborate and use
information provided on maps to make better decisions. So far,
a common base map has been defined for use across
departments and application development for various
departments is under-way. This year, we propose to implement
coordinated GIS and Surveys. We have mapped Sewerage
Operation network and GIS platform successfully.
9) GRC (Governance Risk Management & Compliance)
The applications such as SAP, Water Billing System,
Property Tax system, Octroi have been implemented. At
present, activities such as user registration, user provisioning,
user access management, role assignment are being done
manually. A GRC (Governance Risk Management &
Compliance) for user access management is being planned for
providing a single platform to manage multiple application
access. The benefits include identity management, authorisation
matrix, improved security, enhanced compliance reporting and
improved user satisfaction.

A vendor will soon be selected who will implement GRC
solutions across the organization and provide a common
interface to all applications.

place, we propose to issue tenders and start the work in
2015-16.
I have proposed `200 crore for this project from the
fungible FSI fund, earmarked for the coastal road project.
Parking Policy
MCGM has approved parking policy for the first time to
encourage the public transport and reduce the traffic

congestion. Roads are public spaces. “Road congesters have to
pay” is the principle adapted in this policy.
Parking is divided as On-street parking and Off-street
parking. On-street parking is divided into A, B & C categories
to manage traffic in Mumbai City. Half the rates of On-street
parking are proposed for Off-street parking, On-street parking
is prohibited on the road in the 500m radius.
Monthly passes will be available at municipal kiosk.
30% & 50% concession shall be given for taxies and buses in
monthly passes respectively. 50% concession shall also be
given for Sunday & holidays. Parking will be free on holidays
for tourist spots at prominent locations to encourage tourism.
Pay & park near school within radius of 100m is prohibited.
Parking at malls and cinema theatres, web based parking,
urban transport fund, formation of new traffic cell and marshals
etc. are some of the other features of the parking policy.
Residential parking permits are being introduced in 'A‟
ward on pilot basis and will be continued in rest of the city
based on 'A' ward experience.
Comprehensive Mobility Plan for the
first time for the Mumbai City.
The work of “Preparation of Comprehensive Mobility
Plan” for the Mumbai city has been undertaken for

improvement in the traffic management and control at several
places and the same is in progress. Various factors related to
traffic, volumes, speeds etc. are being studied to suggest the
solution for the speedy traffic movement to develop the
network. Besides this, it would be proper to make utilization of
the revenue and the human resources.
With a view to implementing the suggestions made by
the consultants from the traffic point of view, this plan will be
prepared in the financial year 2015-16.
Think Tank
It is essential to give priority to road transport, internal
roads, open spaces for the pedestrian, communication without
transport in less time or stipulated time.
It has, therefore, been decided to form an
inter-disciplinary group of experts from different divisions
namely road engineering, transport planning, signalling and
communication, R.T.O., traffic police as well as experts from
the civil society to take a holistic view and give feedback on
various aspects of traffic issues in Mumbai.
New Trenching guidelines.
New guidelines have been framed for trenching work so
that the trenching work is synchronized with the ongoing road

works so as to minimize interrupted traffic movement.
Horizontal Drilling Method (HDD) is insisted and encouraged
to minimise the open cut in road. A new technology of micro-
trenching which is less invasive is also introduced.
Depending upon the status of DLP, rates of reinstatement
of trenches have been revised;
For 1st
year of DLP 4 times
For 2nd
year of DLP 3 times
For 3rd
year of DLP 2 times
For 4th
year of DLP Standard rate.
Pedestrian First Policy
For the first time „pedestrian first‟ policy is introduced in
which special attention is given to avoid conflict between
vehicular and pedestrian transportation thereby minimising
accidents and improved ways of travel. Being a part of
roadway, the footpaths shall be kept consistently along the
carriageway which will compel the pedestrian to use it.
Uninterrupted width of footpath will be kept from 1.50m to
3.00m depending upon the width of the road. Also the footpath
surface will be kept even to encourage the pedestrian to use it.
Guard rails and bollards are being provided to improve
pedestrian safety and to avoid parking on footpath thereby
creating maximum utilisation by the pedestrian.

Footpath height is kept 150mm from road level so that the
commuters can easily step up & down.
LED street lighting
In pursuance of the policy of the Govt. of India on
Energy Efficiency, it is proposed to convert all street lights of
Mumbai into LED lights. It is expected to generate huge
savings in the street lights electric bill, a part of which can be
used to incur expenditure on LED conversion. It is proposed to
complete this process by September, 2015.

Out of total 58 works under BRIMSTOWAD, 26 works
have been completed till date, while 29 works are in progress.
Tenders for the remaining 3 works are to be invited. i.e. works
of Storm Water Pumping Stations at Mahul, Mogra and Dadar
Mahim Diversion work.
Major achievements regarding SWD works
City
a)Most of the underground arch drains in the city area are very
old, hence rehabilitation/strengthening of some of the arch
drains to the tune of 26 kms. has been carried out which has
reduced flooding and rain water accumulation period to
considerable extent.
b)The work of laying 6 nos. of 1800 mm dia. pipe (by Box
pushing method below Mahalaxmi flyover bridge) is in
progress which will be completed by end of March, 2015,
due to which, areas such as Satrasta Circle and
Byculla (West) will get relief from flooding.
c) There is an old existing dhapa drain along Peddar Road. In
the past, some portion of the existing dhapa drain in front of
Cadbury junction and Navroji Gamadia Road junction has
collapsed. The work of about 400 mts. of length (from petrol
pump near Jaslok Hospital up to Cadbury junction, which

was structurally in a very bad condition) for laying of 1200
dia pipe to replace existing dhapa drain is taken in hand and
about 220 mts. of drain work is completed. The balance
SWD work for a length of 180 mts. is in progress.
Eastern Suburbs
a) The training/improvement work of Laxmibaug nalla, Usha
nagar nalla, Datar colony nalla, Crompton Kanjur nalla
system is in progress under BRIMSTOWAD –Phase II.
b) The training/improvement work of Damodar park nalla, P.L.
Lokhande marg drain and 10 nos. of culverts of LBS Marg is
in progress, due to which, flooding will be considerably
reduced in the surrounding area.
Western Suburbs
The nalla training work of Dhasakwadi nalla, Dharkhadi
nalla, Piramal nagar nalla, Poisar river and P & T nalla have
been recently completed which will reduce flooding in the
respective catchment areas of Dahisar East, Goregaon West,
Kandivali and Khar West.
The balance works of Irla nalla, SNDT nalla have been
proposed during ensuing year.
4. Revision of BRIMSTOWAD Master Plan
As per recommendations of Fact Finding Committee, the
preparation of Revised Master Plan of SWD network for
Greater Mumbai was undertaken and Consultant M/s. MWH (I)
Pvt. Ltd. has submitted the BRIMSTOWAD Draft Master

Plan-II in the month of February, 2014. To finalize the
BRIMSTOWAD Draft Master Plan-II, a committee of two
retired MCGM (SWD) officers is appointed. After the scrutiny
of the BRIMSTOWAD Draft Master Plan-II by this committee
and submission of report to MCGM, the priority list of works
will be decided and executed as per the availability of funds.
The tender procedure is in progress for the work of
surveying, mapping, analysis and modeling of road side
drains / minor drains.
5. Development of Mithi River
Out of total length of 17.84 k.m. of Mithi River, 11.84
k.m. is in MCGM‟s jurisdiction and 6.0 k.m. is in MMRDA‟s
jurisdiction. Mithi river under MCGM jurisdiction is being
improved, as a result, control over flood water level at
vulnerable locations, increase in carrying capacity by two times
and discharging capacity by three times, reduction in siltation
of river channel will be achieved. Due to construction of
retaining wall, encroachment on the bank of river is prevented.
There are total 12 nos. of bridges out of which 2 are now
in progress and 5 nos. of bridges are proposed through Bridge
Department.
The provision of `35 crore is proposed in B.E. 2015-16
for the work of Mithi River.

6. Catchment Engineer Concept
The concept of Catchment Engineer is being
implemented on experimental basis from last year. Mumbai
city and suburbs have been divided into total 122 catchment
areas for which 80 sub engineers are appointed as Catchment
Engineers. This has yielded good results in the recent monsoon
of 2014.
7. Mechanical desilting of Nalla/Drains
Besides efficient and effective desilting and cleaning of
storm water drain, safety of personnel is also important.
Therefore, mechanized cleaning of drains is being done by
upgrading the machinery. Roadside Open Drain Desilting
(RODD) machine with silt container, Robotic Multi-purpose
excavator machine and Vehicle mounted suction-cum-jetting
Machine with recycling facility are being used.
A provision of `186.14 crore is proposed for cleaning/
desilting and maintenance of Storm Water Drains in Revenue
Budget 2015-16.
During the year 2014-15, total 6,04,551 cu.m. silt has
been removed from Storm Water Drains, Major nallas, Minor
nallas and Mithi river in City and Suburbs before monsoon.

Swaccha Bharat-Swaccha Mumbai Abhiyan
In response to the appeal made by Hon‟ble
Prime Minister for implementing the Clean India Mission
(Swaccha Bharat Abhiyan), MCGM, being the prime agency
responsible for maintaining cleanliness in the city, “Swaccha
Bharat-Swaccha Mumbai Abhiyan” has been implemented

from 02nd
October, 2014. Under this drive, various programs
have been undertaken/proposed to be undertaken.
It is expected that grants in the form of VGF (Viability
Gap Funding) will become available from the Central Govt.
under Swaccha Bharat Mission (SBM) and Corporation will
have to contribute some portion of the expenditure on
implementation of mission components work. Drafting a City
Sanitation Plan and submission of DPR to the Central Govt.is
the necessary condition for getting such assistance. It is
therefore, decided to start the work of preparation of City
Sanitation Plan and DPR for further submission to Govt. of
India.
Public Awareness
To increase the awareness among the citizens regarding
the waste management and to streamline the roll of several
NGOs engaged in the activity of cleanliness by training their
volunteers and to coordinate their functioning and generally to
improve the civic sense, the MCGM has called an “Expression
of Interest” from the experts in the field to devise and organise
awareness campaign. A provision of `15 crore has been
proposed in the B.E. 2015-16.
Cleanliness at High Refuse Generation spots
To enhance the participation of Shopkeepers in the
cleanliness campaign and maintain cleanliness outside the

shops and nearby premises, Saaf Aangan scheme is being
encouraged. Special attention is being provided at high refuse
generation points to ensure that they remain litter free at all
times.
Cleanliness in MMRDA Housing Colonies
MCGM has accepted responsibility of maintaining
cleanliness in the MMRDA Housing Colonies constructed by
MMRDA for rehabilitation of PAPs.
Budget provision 2015-16 .. `2.90 crore

cleaning house gullies and house-to-house collection of refuse.
Budget provision 2015-16 .. `20 crore
Swachha Mumbai Prabodhan Abhiyan
(Vasti Swacchata Yojana)
Under “Clean India Mission”, special efforts are being
taken to ensure that high refuse generation points in 24 wards of
the city like tourist spots, sea beaches and high footfall areas
remain litter free all 24 hours. Slum dwellers residing near
railway tracks throw garbage on railway land. As such house to
house collection has been started in these slum colonies. This
has helped to reduce such 142 spots to 60 spots.

A provision of `35 crore has been proposed in
B.E. 2015-16 under the head “manning-mopping”.
MCGM has started a scheme under “Swachha Mumbai
Prabhodan Abhiyan” (Vasti Swachhata Yojna) for maintaining
cleanliness in slums.
A provision of `75 crore has been proposed in
B.E. 2015-16 for “Swachha Mumbai Prabhodan Abhiyan”.
“Debris-on-Call”
Debris generated due to construction activities is
unauthorisedly dumped on the roads/footpaths. To abate this,
“Debris-on-call service” for collection of debris generated
from household repairs and construction activity has been
started in March, 2014. Under this scheme, 7670 MT of debris
has been lifted till November, 2014 and a revenue of
`19.23 lakhs has been generated. Under Swaccha Bharat
Abhiyan, special efforts are being made to control the debris
being indiscriminately dumped at such spots. For this, Junior
Overseers have been made aware and empowered.
Segregation of Waste
The work of segregation of waste is awarded to “Mahila
Bachat Gats” formed by the rag pickers at Dry Waste
Segregation Centres set up in all 24 wards. The vehicles

provided at each ward for collection of segregated dry waste
from house to house are being augmented to accommodate the
increasing capacity of dry waste, for which a provision of
`13 crore has been proposed in B.E. 2015-16. For setting up
additional Dry Waste Segregation Centre in various wards, a
provision of `3 crore is proposed in B.E. 2015-16.
Small Capacity Waste Processing Projects
The projects awarded for scientific processing of MSW
are stalled due to continuous litigations. As an alternative, small
capacity processing plants for converting waste into energy has
been planned. The EoIs for setting up 3 such plants each of
about 1000 MT per day, total about 2500 MT per day have been
issued. For this purpose, a provision of `3 crore has been
proposed in B.E. 2015-16.
Similarly, decentralized waste processing facilities of 3,
5 and 10 MT capacity are being set up at ward level, for which
a provision of `2 crore has been proposed in B.E. 2015-16.
Future Planning of Waste Management
In view of the increasing population in Mumbai and
consequent increase in solid waste, it is proposed to acquire
126 hectare of land outside Mumbai at Taloja from Govt. of
Maharashtra. A continuous pursual in this regard is made by

MCGM. If the GoM allots the land, it will help in reducing
burden of waste management within Mumbai at Deonar,
Kanjurmarg and Mulund. Sufficient provision has been
proposed in the B.E. 2015-16 for acquisition of land in D.P.
department‟s budget. Also a provision of `1 crore for protecting
the land after acquisition is proposed in B.E. 2015-16.
 Stationery Compactors (Hyva) of 15 MT capacity are
proposed to be installed at 20 new locations to improve
hygienic conditions around large collection centres, for
which budget provision of `7 crore is proposed in
B.E. 2015-16.
 27 large compactors and 41 mini compactors are
proposed to be purchased in 2015-16. For this
purpose, a provision of `20 crore is proposed in
B.E. 2015-16.

For preparing DPR for developing and building transfer
station at suitable sites, the appointment of PMC will be made.
A provision of `6 crore has, therefore, been proposed in B.E.
2015-16

Elimination of Open Defecation Spots:-
In the guidelines provided by the Central Govt. under the
Swaccha Bharat Abhiyan, emphasis has been given on
elimination of open defecation spots by providing private
toilets, public toilets and Pay and Use toilets for floating
population, etc. SWM department is planning to construct new
pay and use toilets in the City to increase the existing number
of Pay and Use Toilets at new places, especially under flyovers
and public roads which do not obstruct traffic. If permanent
toilets cannot be built in crowded places, then it is proposed to
provide portable toilets at such places. All these schemes are
covered under “Pay and Use” scheme for NGOs; hence no
budgetary provision is made for these works. To maintain
public toilets provided in slums, it is proposed to delegate this
work to NGO Sansthas under Vasti Swacchata Yojana; initially
on trial basis in 7 wards.
Public toilet for ladies (Right to „Pee‟)
With a view to providing public toilet facilities for ladies
in crowded areas in the Mumbai City, a notice was issued in the
public newspapers inviting suggestions from citizens and NGOs
regarding suitable places for such toilets in Mumbai.
Accordingly, Assistant Commissioners of Wards are being

directed to suggest suitable places. Considering the suggestions,
wardwise locations will be finalised and toilets on „Pay & Use‟
basis will be constructed. A provision of `5.25 crore is
proposed for this purpose in B.E. 2015-16.
Environment Protection: -
As per the XII amendment of the Indian Constitution,
Local Self Governments are given responsibility of “Protection
of Urban Forestry, Environment Protection and Atmospheric
elements”. In Mumbai, monitoring of air, water and noise
pollution is done by Environment Section of SWM department
and Environment Status Report is published every year. It is
proposed to make Environment Status Report more useful by
increasing the scope of statistics and other information
published in the report. In the year 2015-16, the programs/
schemes proposed to increase the effectiveness of the section
are -
SAFAR Project - Stationary Air Quality Monitoring Centre is
currently monitoring the air quality at 7 places and at 3 traffic
junctions and dumping grounds through Mobile Air Quality
Monitoring Van which measures the elements responsible for
polluting the environment. Additionally, it is proposed to install
7 more modern Air Quality Monitoring Centers in collaboration

with IITM of Indian Meteorological Department under the
“SAFAR” project. For this, a budgetary provision of `5 crore
has been proposed in the B.E. 2015-16.
Noise Mapping - To measure the noise levels at 1200 places in
all wards of Greater Mumbai and to undertake appropriate
remedial measures alongwith budgetary estimates at places
where the levels exceed the limits by appointing Project
Consultant, a budgetary provision has been proposed in the
budget. Accordingly, e-tender has been called for awarding the
work.
Ashray Yojna
Under the project of Ashray Yojna, it is proposed to
redevelop the existing plots by utilizing 4 FSI. A proposal is
submitted for approval of State Govt. to permit 4 FSI. To begin
with, temporary transit camps are being constructed at
16 locations. Out of these, 2 in City, 1 each in E.S. & W.S. are
in progress. A budget provision of `197.62 crore is proposed in
B.E. 2015-16 for construction of transit camps, major repairs
and redevelopment of SWM staff quarters.
For reconstruction and renovation of mustering
chowkies, a provision of `6 crore is proposed in B.E. 2015-16.

“Mission Garima”
With a view to reducing human intervention with
sewage, it is planned to have a systematic approach for
reduction in breakdown maintenance with increase in
preventive maintenance by effective use of machinery/
mechanization/ automation of system.
With this objective, “Mission Garima” has been launched
jointly with Tata Trust. It is aimed for health, hygiene and
welfare of workers working in Sewerage, SWD and SWM
departments. It is planned to procure various machineries
which will help maintenance of sewerage conveyance system
mechanically and reduction of human intervention.
Welfare Activities for Conservancy Staff
To reduce the mortality rate of Municipal conservancy
staff while on duty; primarily due to unhygienic working
conditions and illiteracy making them prone to addiction,
comprehensive plans have been made. Measures like safety
gears, de-addiction programmes, counselling, financial
planning, training, medical check-up are conducted every year
for the workers and families.
Training Programme for Labour
For Class IV employees, 3 Day residential training
programmes are conducted at C.T.I. & R.C. The Labour
department also conducts 2 days „Quality of Life Training

Programme‟ for the benefit of employees and their spouses
wherein emphasis on family budget and quality of life,
de-addiction, (alcoholism, gutkha, tobacco, smoking etc.) health
of women and children, effects of unauthorised absenteeism,
etc. is given. This programme has benefited in improving their
daily life style in a positive way.
