Overview
- A high‑level Mantralaya review chaired by Tourism Minister Shambhuraj Desai decided that MTDC will fully fund and implement the Shiv Srushti park, a change finalised on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
- The project carries an estimated cost of about Rs 50 crore and replaces an earlier plan that would have had the Tourism Department pay 75% and the municipal corporation 25%.
- Mira‑Bhayandar Municipal Corporation will remain the approvals authority and is slated to take over maintenance and operations after MTDC completes construction.
- Shiv Srushti is planned as a heritage tourism park to present the life and legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj with youth‑friendly exhibits and is part of wider state plans that include roughly Rs 200 crore for the Ghodbunder Fort precinct.
- Officials say routing the project through a single state agency will clear an administrative bottleneck and is meant to speed work and boost local tourism and jobs, with implementation expected to begin on a fast track once statutory approvals are granted.
