The space in Varli and Kurla has been lying vacant for many years under the Dairy Development Department. Now, the focus has shifted to these areas from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). MMRDA has decided to develop these lands under the Bandra-Kurla Complex. At that time, MMRDA also decided to develop the lands of Marve, Madh, Malvani, and three other villages under BKC. The proposal regarding this was approved in a recent meeting of the authority, and now they await approval from the state government. What exactly is this proposal, what is the Mini BKC, remains the question…
How will BKC be constructed? Mumbai, known as the economic capital and an internationally recognized city, has its first economic center known as Nariman Point. After the development of Nariman Point, its value increased significantly. Consequently, there was a need to create a new economic center. MMRDA, which oversees development, developed a commercial complex on the fertile lands of the Mithi Riverbank. This complex is akin to BKC or the Bandra-Kurla Complex. Today, this complex is recognized as an international economic development center. Now, MMRDA is searching for similar economic development centers to be established elsewhere. In this consideration, they are now exploring the development of Varli and Kurla.
Varli and Kurla’s Mini BKC? In Varli, there is a total of 6.40 hectares of land, including plot number 866/5, under the Dairy Development Department. The dairy farms there have been shut down. In Kurla, there is a second piece of land, measuring 10.40 hectares under land parcel number 229/1/1, zoned for dairy development. These two pieces of land remain unused. MMRDA has decided to develop these lands under BKC. The BKC area is much larger compared to the spaces in Kurla and Varli, making these areas relatively smaller. Hence, a Mini BKC here signifies establishing a smaller economic center.
Appointment as a Special Planning Authority? For the land in Kurla and Varli, MMRDA has requested for it to be allocated as non-agricultural, non-market, and belonging to Category 1 designation. This demand was raised by MMRDA during a meeting with the authority in Nagpur. The proposal has been approved, and now it is awaiting the state government’s nod. As per this proposal, MMRDA will be appointed as the Special Planning Authority for the development of these areas. Moreover, these areas will also witness developments in the field of information technology and banking.
Development in six villages under BKC? In the Mumbai Metropolitan Municipality area, 2011.11 hectares of land have been reserved for special development. Among these, 235.71 hectares belong to the state government, and 936.62 hectares constitute a single settlement area in Madh, Malvani, Marve, Aarey Colony, Daravli, and Akse. Out of this, 450.23 hectares, totaling 1386.85 hectares, have been designated as a Special Development Zone for development. MMRDA aims to develop the Bandra-Kurla Complex here. Therefore, they have requested to appoint a Special Planning Authority for this purpose. They await the government’s approval.
How will the development of six villages proceed? Upon approval by the state government, MMRDA will construct homes on 1386.85 hectares of land. Public open spaces and social facilities will also be developed. Key features include building a cityscape, an IT park, biotech units, an amusement park, and a tourism center. The proposal for this was presented in the 155th meeting of the authority. After receiving the state government’s approval, plans include preparing the blueprint for the Special Development Zone, formulating development regulations, and encouraging development. Additionally, various essential facilities like the metro, the Virar-Vasai Sea Link, and coastal road projects around Madh, Malvani, and Marve are also being implemented. Consequently, numerous developmental opportunities have been created in these areas, driving MMRDA’s decision to develop these villages.
