The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued a tender worth Rs 1,481 crore to develop the transport and business hub at Dahisar octroi naka site. If all goes as planned, all interstate bus services will terminate at the entry point of the city. With the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2017, octroi was abolished, BMC-owned land which earlier housed collection points and octroi offices was freed up. “The BMC proposed the development of the octroi naka site into a transportation and commercial hub,” said an official. There will be retail and recreational spaces and the facility will help organise interstate bus movement, decongest traffic within the city and generate revenue for the BMC through leases and rent,” the official stated.
