Overview
- A 500‑metre stretch of the Coastal Road uses precision grooves to play the song “Jai Ho” when drivers travel at roughly 70–80 km/h.
- The installation, billed as India’s first musical road, was inaugurated on 11 February by Devendra Fadnavis.
- Residents of Breach Candy submitted a formal complaint representing more than 650 families, calling the repeated melody an intrusive noise that disturbs seniors and students and, by their account, carries from early morning to late night.
- Civic-body chief Bhushan Gagrani said authorities initially did not find a disturbance yet will examine the complaints, while another official said he had not received the letter.
- The feature sits on the $1.6bn Coastal Road, and complainants warn the tune can distract drivers and is amplified into homes by sea breeze and building reflections, though a few nearby voices say they are not bothered.
