The BMC's 215 million litres daily (MLD) Bhandup Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is in final phase, slated for commissioning by October 2026. The plant uses advanced primary, secondary and tertiary treatment to generate reclaimed water for industrial use, gardening, construction and non-potable purposes. The Bhandup STP is one of seven STPs being built under the city's sewage treatment upgrade programme. All seven STPs will treat 2,464 MLD of sewage using secondary and tertiary technologies, with half upgraded to tertiary standards for reuse. Municipal Commissioner Ashwini Bhide inspected the project on Wednesday. A pipeline is under construction to transport tertiary-treated water from Ghatkopar STP to Bhandup STP. The seven-STP upgrade project was awarded in May 2022 at Rs 25,963 crore; cost escalated to Rs 27,309.83 crore due to delays and 6% GST increase. Separately, a new 2,000 MLD water treatment plant at Bhandup complex replaces the existing 1979 plant. The Rs 4,124-crore project by Welspun Enterprises with Veolia technology partnership is slated for commissioning by July 2028 on a 7.4-hectare site.

A developer and associate allegedly defrauded a 52-year-old temple priest of Rs 84 lakh in a fake flat deal in a Bhandup redevelopment project. The accused built credibility through a bank-sanctioned home loan and selectively verified documents before routing large sums through multiple accounts and concealing prior transfer of development rights. Bank officials are under investigation for: loan sanctioned despite incomplete and selective verification; outdated or invalid documents accepted; prior transfer of development rights allegedly ignored; and no-objection certificate accepted from an unauthorised individual.

New Foot Over Bridge (FOB) at Bhandup will connect east and west of the suburb, enabling seamless walkability and eliminating long detours and unsafe track crossings for daily commuters. The FOB provides a crossing point across the Central Line, replacing congested road crossings and far-away bridges used by thousands of pedestrians. Access points near Bhandup Station will ease transfer between trains and pedestrians at existing stations, reducing congestion during rush hours. The bridge will shorten walking distance for office workers, school students and elderly between residential areas, railway stations and business districts on both sides. Diverting pedestrian traffic off busy roads and level crossings is expected to reduce surface-level congestion and improve vehicular flow on adjoining arterial roads. Design features include strong railings, anti-skid surfaces and sufficient lighting for 24-hour use. The FOB is part of Mumbai's broader initiative to improve last-mile connectivity and pedestrian infrastructure in railway-dominated suburbs.
