About the Authors
Amrita Puntambekar is a designer with “The Planning and Design Lab”. She has detailed many of
the concepts as regards the social equity dimensions of the Mumbai Megaproject. She leads the
Nataraja Foundations initiatives on women’s issues and particularly children’s education. She is also
an associate fellow at the Nataraja Foundation and a consultant for its various projects. Amrita is a
freelance artist and specializes in watercolour. She is a post graduate in commerce and lives in
Mumbai.
Ashish Puntambekar is a Mumbai based , corporate planner and infrastructure project designer. He has
20 years of experience in designing some of India’s largest infrastructure projects, the most notable
and recent of which is the Indian Education Megaproject. The Education Megaproject is a plan to
provide high quality education , totally free of cost to 126 Million children, 80 % of who live in rural
areas and come from the poorest families. Please visit : http://www.nataraja.org.in/masseducationproject.htm
As a designer , Ashish believes in Gandhiji’s vision of “ Sarvodaya “( i.e the rise of all ) and his project
designs therefore focus on including the excluded among the masses . All his projects also have huge
environmental dividends in that they are designed for sustainability while also deploying
environmentally friendly building materials on a massive scale. Each project’s financial design also
frees up large capital resources for afforestation schemes and for wildlife preservation.
The Mumbai Megaproject for instance provides US $ 300 Million for Mangroves and another US $ 1.5
Billion for the planting of dense forests in Maharashtra. Employment generation is also high on the
design agenda. This is witnessed by the fact that the above mentioned two projects , alone will add 10
Million new jobs in India.
Besides designing large infrastructure and clean energy projects, the designer is also keenly interested
in the geopolitics of petroleum ( several published articles ) and has expert level knowledge in the
energy business and especially the price of crude oil which he has traded as a derivative trader on all
the worlds major exchanges and OTC markets for over 5 years. He currently works as a project
designer and also runs a private foundation, named the Nataraja Foundation, with a mandate to
innovate on an unprecedented level in the areas of Social Infrastructure, Urban Planning and Clean
Energy.
Ashish holds an MBA in international business and a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Acknowledgments
The Mumbai Megaproject is a scheme in the interest of the Millions of citizens of Mumbai City and the
112 million inhabitants of Maharashtra. It is also a landmark project to safeguard the ecology and
sustain a vast marine ecosystem around Mumbai. The project proposal itself is an exercise in the public
interest and for the consideration of the State and Union Governments.
In a project proposal as wide-ranging as this with its 22 different themes, the project designers have
received much help from others, starting with FICCI-FLO and Deutsche Bank who organized and
sponsored the seminar in Sept ’ 2011 at the YB Chavan Center at Nariman Point in Mumbai.
While the Marco concepts and large project ideas are our own, several Individuals have contributed by
providing comments on draft chapters. A few senior specialists with vast experience in project planning
and execution have reviewed the whole report consisting of 22 different themes + 2 project control
specifications and have provided their inputs. Some contributed in terms of ideas while others provided
critical cost estimates for the various schemes within the Megaproject. It is not possible to thank
everyone by naming them as one cannot rank their ideas on the basis of relative criticality or
importance.
We have also borrowed ideas and concepts from other projects implemented around the world such as
the palm islands in Dubai, The Semakau offshore landfill in Singapore, The Chunnel tunnel that
connects the UK with France, The Cheonggyechon river re-development (Seoul, South Korea), Besos
river ( Spain ), The Sabarmati river re-development project in Ahmedabad, The Coral Reef Alliance’s
Bio Rock technology implementations around the world etc. In including these projects we
acknowledge their thought leadership and would like to learn from their implementation experience.
Each borrowed concept is acknowledged by source and at no point do we claim these fundamental
concepts as our own. In fact we hope that the people and organizations involved in these earlier, path-
breaking projects around the world see the opportunities in Mumbai and come here. The city will greatly
benefit from their experience.
Several friends have provided helpful guidance as we edited the final text for publication. We have also
taken a number of generic pictures from the internet and have used graphics and material for tables
from various published sources and while doing so, we have taken care to quote our sources for
numbers and opinions expressed by various parties in the public domain.
It is important to state here that the cost estimates within the Megaproject’s reports have been arrived
at after seeking relevant advice from experts. These are however indicative costs based on current
industry practices and projects commissioned within the last 3 – 5 years in India and around the world.
Based on all these inputs, we have modified the concepts in a manner that fits Mumbai’s unique
requirements. This cross fertilization of ideas across industries has been our own and it is this that
makes the Mumbai Megaproject unique. The estimates are critically linked to project execution
structures specified in each case to achieve the most efficient project schedule and least possible cost.
The project configurations and the scope of work considered in each sub-project also have had a major
impact on cost and these costs could vary if project scope is changed significantly.
Finally, the authors take sole responsibility for any errors or omissions regarding opinions expressed
and conclusions drawn from the various studies within the Megaproject proposals.

1. Executive Summary
As of November ‘ 2012, the Maharashtra State Government, acting through MMRDA and
the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai ( MCGM ) is officially reported to have spent
a total of Rs. 900 crores on various projects along the Mithi River as part of a scheme
whose total cost is estimated at Rs 1600 crores. All this money has been spent without
doing a geological survey of the river basin which would have revealed rocky strata in
certain parts, thereby requiring a totally different approach.
In short, an improperly designed plan is under execution, which in the view of the Mumbai
Megaproject is unlikely to achieve any of the project objectives.
The important thing is that when the taxpayers sees the Mithi today, she / he wonders
where the Rs 900 crores has gone because there is no noticeable difference in the area
over the last 10 years. The Mithi continues to be an extremely toxic river filled with deadly
chemicals such as cyanide and toxic metal salts of lead, arsenic, strontium and mercury.
An agglomeration of chemicals in high concentrations which probably make the Mithi one of
the most polluted and toxic rivers on earth.
The Mumbai Megaproject’s Mithi River Plan
The Mumbai Megaproject has a definitive and fully estimated plan to clean up the Mithi.
This plan goes far beyond the recommendations of the Chitale Committee and other more
recent plans.
The Megaproject’s plan in the form of The Mithi River Re-Juvination Project, has the following
salient features :
1. A massive slum re-habilitation scheme for the Mithi river basin
2. A comprehensive dredging plan
3. A sequestration plan for poisonous chemicals (cyanides, lead & mercury salts etc) in
special designated sites already identified for the purpose.
4. A re-development plan for the riverfront on the lines of the Cheonggyecheon river
rejuvenation scheme in Seoul South Korea ( finished look and feel as per pictures on
cover page )

5. Two alternative engineering and execution options to achieve lowest possible cost
6. An innovative financing plan to achieve all the above with zero need for external /
government financing
As is clear from the description above, The Mumbai Megaproject’s plan for the Mithi River
is extensive and exceeds the standards and scope of all previous plans.
Project Financing
The mentioned above, the Megaproject has developed an innovative scheme with two
separate options for financing the large scale re-development of the Mithi river basin.
Project details will be shared with prospective project partners and local government after
going through a legally recognized and properly documented process.
