MUMBAI: Around 200 real estate projects in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) are on hold following an order by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), which requires projects within a 5-km radius of eco-sensitive zones to secure environmental clearance from central government, not state agencies.
The order, delivered on August 9 and applicable nationwide, relates to those with a built-up area of more than 20,000 sq mt and within a 5-km radius of eco-sensitive zones, wildlife sanctuaries and severely polluted areas. In the MMR, the order has stalled projects around the Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Borivali, the Flamingo bird sanctuaries in Thane and Navi Mumbai, and the Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary in Vasai-Virar.
