The cost of the Maharashtra government’s marquee project, Versova Bandra Sealink, has shot up by a massive 60 per cent to Rs 11,333 crore, from Rs 6,993 crore in 2019.
Despite the huge cost overrun of over Rs 4,300 crore in the last four years, there has been a very little progress on the project.
The project has been mired in legal tangles as certain parties have challenged the environmental clearance granted to the project.
The matter has now reached the Supreme Court.
The Rs 7,000-crore project, with a length of 17.7 km, was expected to be ready by 2023.
