Navi-Mumbai

In a major shock to the city, NCP, the ruling party in Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has voted against Navi Mumbai being considered for the SmartCity project. The NCP corporators in the general body meeting on Tuesday refused to support the administration’s proposal for SmartCity.

The Corporators said that they are contesting the move because the NMMC would have barely any role in implementing the project as it will be completely operated and controlled by a Special Purpose Vehicle employed by the Central Govt.

This may result in NMMC being knocked out of the SmartCity competition this year.
