The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to open nine standalone school buildings for students in the 2026–27 academic year. These new facilities are spread across Ghatkopar, Govandi, Andheri, Juhu and Malad.
This development comes ahead of the civic body polls scheduled to be held on January 15, 2026.
The new buildings will also temporarily accommodate students from neighbouring municipal schools that are currently undergoing redevelopment.
It is pertinent to note that all the buildings are redeveloped structures constructed on the sites of former municipal schools except for a newly built CBSE school in Andheri East.
According to Mid-day, the reconstruction of these schools took between three and five years, with the Juhu school taking the longest, as it falls within the Coastal Regulation Zone.
Reports further stated that Kondivita Mumbai Public School in Andheri East will function as a standalone CBSE institution, as affiliation norms allow only one school per building. Other redeveloped schools will operate under the Maharashtra State Board.
