Mumbaikars Can Track Road Concreting Progress from Home via New BMC Dashboard

Roads form the backbone of urban life, influencing mobility, safety, and economic efficiency. Recognizing this, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has launched a Comprehensive Online Dashboard that enables residents to monitor the progress of concrete road projects across the city from their homes. This initiative exemplifies transparent and accountable governance, providing real-time updates on project status, timelines, and completion rates across wards and zones, while empowering citizens to engage with urban infrastructure development more effectively.

By consolidating information into a centralized, user-friendly platform, the BMC ensures that the city’s vision for a “Pothole-Free Mumbai” is measurable, accessible, and verifiable. Beyond tracking progress, the dashboard serves as a tool for social oversight, allowing residents to verify on-ground work, hold authorities accountable, and strengthen trust in municipal processes. In a city as complex and densely populated as Mumbai, this initiative demonstrates how digital solutions can enhance governance, improve service delivery, and foster meaningful citizen participation.

Real-Time Tracking and Dashboard Features

The dashboard is designed to be intuitive and actionable. Citizens can monitor the status of each road—whether completed, in progress, or pending—with updates organized ward-wise and zone-wise. A map-based interface, enhanced with clear color coding, visually represents the progress of projects across Mumbai, making it easy for residents to assess developments at a glance.

Users can search for specific roads, view expected start and completion dates, and cross-check if on-ground work aligns with reported timelines. The platform also provides details of future scheduled works, ensuring that citizens have a holistic view of road-concreting activities.

Current Progress Snapshot (as of September 10, 2025)

Since the launch of the BMC’s concrete-road initiative in January 2023, notable progress has been made across Mumbai. Of the 2,121 roads included, just over half are completed. Phase 1 (700 roads) leads in progress, while Phase 2 (1,421 roads) steadily advances. The table below summarizes the current status of completed, partially completed, and pending roads:
 

Project Timeline and Resumption of Work
 

Phase 1 of the initiative is slated for completion by May 2026, with Phase 2 expected to conclude by May 2027. Road concreting activities that were paused during the monsoon season are scheduled to resume from October 1, 2025, once conditions allow. The phased approach balances efficiency with quality assusrance, ensuring that projects are executed systematically without compromising standards.
 

Ensuring Quality and Accountability
 

To maintain high-quality construction standards, the BMC has appointed the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) as an independent third-party quality control agency. IIT Bombay will oversee the integrity of implementation, adherence to specifications, and compliance with safety and durability standards.

Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar emphasized that the dashboard serves not only as an informational tool but also as a mechanism for “social audits”, empowering citizens to verify project updates and hold the system accountable from their homes.

What This Means for Mumbaikars

For Mumbai residents, the new dashboard transforms civic participation. Citizens can now verify project timelines, check road statuses, and engage directly with infrastructure updates, ensuring that the ambitious “Pothole-Free Mumbai” drive remains transparent and accountable. The dashboard is an exemplary model of how digital governance tools can bridge the gap between administration and public expectations, enhancing trust while improving service delivery.

By combining real-time tracking, quality oversight, and citizen engagement, the BMC demonstrates that urban infrastructure projects can be both efficient and accountable, setting a benchmark for other Indian cities pursuing large-scale road improvements.
