According to sources, the consultant fees for the project have increased significantly, putting a strain on the already stretched budget. The project, which was initially estimated to cost Rs.15,000 crore, has seen several cost revisions, with the latest estimate pegged at over Rs.20,000 crore.
The consultant fees are just one of the many challenges facing the project. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), the agency responsible for implementing the project, has been struggling to acquire land for the project, with several landowners refusing to give up their properties.
The project has also faced opposition from environmental groups, who have raised concerns about the impact of the project on the city's coastal ecosystem. Despite these challenges, the MSRDC has maintained that the project will be completed on schedule.
