On October 26, 2026, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) announced a proposed rise in the waste collection and transportation contract for L Ward, encompassing Kurla and Saki Naka, from Rs 161.01 crore. This represents an increase of Rs 38.52 crore from the previous Rs 122.49 crore over the past 1.5 years. The contract, awarded to M/s K.M.S.
(JV), initially came into effect on January 20, 2019, after a six-month mobilisation period. The original contract cost of Rs 117.78 crore was later adjusted to Rs 122.49 crore by adding 4% to cover sundry expenses.
The contract value further climbed by Rs 8.03 crore in May 2025, reaching Rs 130.53 crore, and subsequently increased by Rs 20.14 crore in January 2026, bringing it to Rs 150.67 crore. The BMC has now proposed an additional Rs 10.33 crore in expenditure, which, if approved, would raise the total contract value to Rs 161.01 crore. The administration intends to extend the contract until January 13, 2027, citing the nine months needed to acquire specialized vehicles and complete mobilisation for the new contract.
During this interim period, the existing contractor would continue its operations to prevent any disruption in waste collection. The proposal is currently pending approval from the BMC’s Standing Committee. For information on property deals in Mumbai and its surrounding areas, visit https://budgetproperties.in/.
