Despite a year passing since the commencement of the road concretisation project, the BMC has completed only 46km of the planned 324km in Phase 1.

Currently, work is ongoing on 213 roads, while 298 roads are yet to be concretised in this phase. In Phase 2, out of 1,420 roads, 433 roads are under concretisation, with many still pending. The delays in these phases have impacted the civic body's ambitious goal of creating a pothole-free Mumbai.
