What is MMRDA? Their Roles and Responsibility 

This frame was responsible for planning and coordinating the development activities on the entire site. Maharashtra's urban development minister manages the MMRDA. The Authority is responsible for developing new city centers and executing strategic initiatives. It also attempts to promote MMR as an economically advanced area by providing high-quality infrastructure, modern living, and other amenities.

MMRDA's Responsibilities and Functions

● Plans for local improvement are being developed.

● Financial support for large-scale, local activities

● Assisting the local Government with its infrastructure projects.

● Coordinating and executing strategies and initiatives within the MMR.

● Any pastime that could harm the MMR's development should be restricted.


We monitor significant projects in transportation, housing, and water supply. Nine metro lines are currently under construction. They will ease traffic congestion between Mumbai's eastern and western suburbs and reduce travel times between some city's major centers. These are the MMRDA Mumbai Metro Lines.


1. Mumbai Monorail, a public transport system in Mumbai, India

India's first monorail, the Mumbai Monorail, runs between Jacob Circle in South Mumbai and Chembur to the west. It was constructed as a feeder to the Mumbai suburban railway line, costing Rs 3,000 crores. The line was officially launched in February 2014. The concept of extending the Mumbai monorail to Worli has been ignored.

2. Mumbai The Trans-Harbor Link, a bridge connecting the two ends of Mumbai

The Mumbai Trans-Harbor Link Road (also known as the Nhava-Sheva Link Road) is still not ready for prime time. Its purpose is to reduce congestion in the island town and improve the link between Navi Mumbai and south Mumbai. Construction is still ongoing, and the mission will be inaugurated in 2022. This could be India's longest road.


 

Regional Planning

MMRDA was created to implement the Regional Plan and plan, development, and coordinate the development within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). In 1973, the first Regional Plan was approved for MMR. After considering several planning aspects, the Authority prepared a revised Regional Plan 1996-2011, which the State Government approved on September 23, 1999. It became effective December 1, 1999.

 

MMRDA Act

74th Constitutional Amendment has given the Metropolitan Planning function to the Mumbai Metropolitan Planning Committee. MMRDA will assist with this task. The Draft Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Plan 2016-36 was published on September 19, 2016, for public comment and suggestions. MMRDA submitted the revised draft Regional Plan to the Mumbai Metropolitan Planning Committee on October 30, 2017, following the procedures laid out under the MR&TP Act of 1966. This was based on the comments and objections received and the report by the Planning Sub-Committee. The MMPC approved the modified draft Regional Plan and submitted it to the GoM. The Government has approved a portion of the Regional Plan 2016-36 about the Matheran Eco Sensitive Zone via its Notification dated August 7, 2019. This was done under Section 15(1) MR&TP Act 1966. The final Regional Plan came into effect on 19th June 2021.
