Ahead of the Dharavi revival project, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation floated a ₹2,368 crore tender to bioremediate 185 lakh tonnes of waste at the Deonar landfill, aiming to reclaim 110 hectares. This follows government directives under the Swachh Bharat Mission. The cleanup is deemed essential to support the Dharavi redevelopment SPV—a JV between the state and the Adani Group. Critics, including Aaditya Thackeray and Varsha Gaikwad, accuse the move of subsidizing private profits via public funds while ignoring environmental and social concerns.
