The Maharashtra government has approved the renewal of the lease for the Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Borivali and sanctioned payment of pending rent for the premises located in Dahisar (West).
The decision was issued through a Government Resolution by the Home Department. The RTO office in Borivali has been operating since April 2015 from a property owned by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation in Kandarpada, Dahisar (West), Mumbai.
The earlier lease agreement expired on March 31, 2025. While the government has already approved the shifting of the RTO office to a new MTNL building in Dahisar (East), the relocation process is expected to take time. To ensure continuity of services, the state has decided to extend the existing lease.
As per the new approval, the lease has been renewed for a two-year period from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2027.
In addition, the government has granted administrative and financial approval to pay pending rent amounting to ₹25,77,664 for the period from April 2025 to March 2026.
Officials stated that the expenditure will be covered under the designated budget head for transport offices and rent-related expenses. The decision ensures uninterrupted functioning of the RTO office until its relocation to the new premises is completed.
The move highlights the government’s effort to maintain essential public services while managing infrastructure transitions in Mumbai’s suburban administrative network.
