Mumbai, July 21, 2026: After the existing contract ended in June, several tonnes of waste washed ashore, prompting the BMC to undertake a special clean-up drive.
Following the bidding process, the BMC has proposed appointing Deepak and Sons Transcon LLP for 18 months at a cost of Rs 2.42 crore for beach-cleaning work. The proposal has been placed before the civic Standing Committee for approval on Thursday.
The existing contract for cleaning Juhu Beach expired on June 4, 2026. Since then, the BMC's K/West Ward Solid Waste Management Department has been deploying manpower and equipment, including tractors, trolleys, beach-cleaning machines and skid loaders, to maintain the nearly 7-km shoreline. The collected waste is transported to the Deonar dumping ground using privately hired dumpers and JCB machines.
New Contract For Beach Cleaning
To transport waste collected from Juhu Beach to the Deonar dumping ground, the BMC had invited tenders to hire dumpers and JCB machines for 18 months or until 1,090 JCB shifts and 3,876 dumper trips were completed, whichever was earlier.
M/s Deepak and Sons Transcon LLP emerged as the successful bidder, with the BMC set to spend Rs 2.42 crore on the contract. The company quoted rates 24% lower per shift than the contractor previously engaged for Juhu Beach-related work.
