The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has taken full responsibility for road repairs across the city, prioritizing citizen needs over bureaucratic hurdles. The decision was made after discussions with concerned authorities and several meetings with residents, particularly from the Ghodbunder area where poor road construction has led to severe traffic congestion.

A significant portion of the budget was allotted to road repairs and public transport. To address road damage caused by utility work, ₹20 crore was allocated for restoration.
Public transport received a boost with ₹57 crore raised through development charges and the launch of 160 electric buses to improve mobility and reduce pollution. The budget is designed to make Thane a more liveable, sustainable, and citizen-friendly city while maintaining financial prudence.
Thane’s healthcare sector saw a major boost with ₹75 crore allotted for revamping the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital. Additionally, ₹58 crore was allotted for land acquisition for a new hospital in Diva, while ₹11 crore was allotted for maternity hospital renovations.
A free cataract surgery programme for economically weaker residents was also announced.
