Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday directed the preparation of a comprehensive redevelopment plan for the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking, stressing that the interests of citizens, the welfare of employees, and Mumbai’s long-term development must remain at the core of the project.

Chairing a high-level meeting at his official residence, Varsha, Fadnavis reviewed proposals for the modernisation of BEST bus depots and outlined a roadmap for depot redevelopment, employee housing, public amenities, and financial sustainability through coordinated planning among state and civic agencies.
