Infrastructure Watch: Pune’s riverfront facelift project gets SPV boost

After pushing for implementation of pollution abatement of Mula-Mutha river that cuts across the city, the Pune Municipal Corporation’s (PMC) beautification plan of the riverside on the lines of Godavari is likely to speed up with the state government according the status of `Special Purpose Vehicle’ to the ambitious project worth Rs 2,168 crore.

“The river beautification project would speed up as the state government has now given it the status of Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). The PMC had requested the state government one and half years ago to declare the project as SPV,” said mayor Murlidhar Mohol.
