The last steps are being taken to transfer a portion of the racecourse’s land to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). To the BMC, the Royal Western India Turf Club would give over a 120-acre area. Civic Chief Bhushan Gagrani said that the 120-acre land is almost ready to be turned over. “Yes, the process of handing over the plot is in its final stages,” Gagrani replied.
“We hope that the land transfer process will be completed in a few days. There are some pending formalities with the paperwork, which will be completed soon,” another official stated. “There are plans to develop a multi-storey stable for horses and build a subway to connect the Coastal Road park and the proposed racecourse park,” the official added. “This will be the only official garden. Additionally, we will relocate slum residents to nearby SRA projects,” the official further explained.
