BMC uses emergency powers as lakes drop to 31% and tanker strike hits water supply

Dhruva Kulkarni

Mumbai is facing a water crisis, with its reservoirs at just 31% capacity due to low lake levels and a water tanker strike.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has invoked emergency powers to manage water tanker operations during the strike.

Mumbai’s total water stock has dropped to 5.67 lakh million litres, significantly lower than last year’s 9 lakh million litres.

The city’s daily water usage is 3,850 million litres, and current supplies will last only 45 days if no rain or alternative arrangements are made.

Smaller lakes are at higher capacity but contribute less, while major lakes like Modaksagar and Bhatsa run low, risking supply cuts.

The ongoing tanker strike, caused by stricter borewell regulations, is worsening the situation, affecting water delivery to homes and construction sites.

BMC has deployed teams to manage seized tankers and is encouraging water conservation to help avoid further shortages.

India has approved a Rs 63,000 crore deal to acquire 26 Rafale Marine fighter jets from France, with the agreement expected to be signed during French Defence Minister Sébastien Lecornu’s visit this month.

Cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Security, chaired by PM Narendra Modi, the deal includes 22 single-seater and four twin-seater Rafale-M jets for the Indian Navy.

The package covers fleet maintenance, logistics, training, and offset obligations to boost indigenous manufacturing. It also includes upgrades, equipment, and spares for the 36 Rafale jets already in service with the IAF.

The new Rafale-M jets will be delivered within 37 to 65 months, with full induction expected by 2030–31. The Defence Ministry had approved the procurement in July 2023 for deployment on INS Vikrant.

The IAF currently operates 36 Rafale jets at Ambala and Hasimara airbases, and the new deal will enhance its capabilities, including an upgraded “buddy buddy” aerial refuelling system.

The Navy will need to install specialised equipment on aircraft carriers to operate the 4.5-generation Rafale jets and is also planning to induct indigenous fifth-generation Rafale jets developed by DRDO.
