Mumbai: The beautification work at the Mahalaxmi Temple precinct, which had been delayed due to a lack of funds and the monsoon season, has now resumed. Currently, efforts are focused on installing decorative arch entrances, developing pathways, and realigning and redesigning stalls. The BMC has set a new target to complete the entire project by March 2026.

Project Background

The project was inaugurated in October 2024 by then Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. However, work on the project only began a year later, in June 2025, and was subsequently stalled again due to a lack of funds, according to civic sources. Additionally, civil work was halted during the monsoon season until October.
