Never gave nod, any such appointment is illegal, says BMC on sub-contract to Deshmukh cousin

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has said the decision of the Korean-Spanish joint venture (JV) company — appointed consultant to the Mumbai Coastal Road Project — to sub-contract work to Innowave Engineering and Advisors, which is now under the lens of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), without the corporation’s approval was “illegal”.

Innowave Engineering is a company co-owned by Satyajeet Deshmukh, a cousin of former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, and had received consultancy fees from the Korean-Spanish consultant, according to the ED.

Sources in the BMC told The Indian Express, that officials would take up the matter with the consultant, a JV between Korean company Yooshin Engineering Corporation and Spanish firm Tec4.
