BMC Extends Textile Museum Deadline Amidst Low Interest
The local government in Mumbai wants to build a textile museum in an old mill.
They asked for help from companies or groups, but not many people showed interest.
Because of this, they've decided to give interested parties more time to apply.
The plan is to fix up the old mill buildings and create the museum.
The winning group will also be in charge of running and taking care of the museum for the next 20 years.
BMC extends the deadline for Expression of Interest (EOI) for a textile museum.
The project involves restoring old mill structures in Kalachowki.
The BMC initially sought an external agency for the project.
The original EOI deadline was July 3rd.
The extended deadline for EOI submissions is August 13th.
