Following deliberations and suggested modifications by members, the civic body incorporated an increase of INR 200 crore in the opening balance, taking the total estimated receipts for FY2026-27 to INR 6,904.43 crore.
Expenditure for the financial year has been set at INR 6,889.43 crore, reflecting the additional allocation, while the closing balance is projected at INR 15 crore. The revised FY2025-26 and FY2026-27 budget estimates were approved unanimously after discussions involving 86 members, including inputs from the leader of the house, opposition representatives and the standing committee.
During the session, Mayor Sujata Patil indicated that the budget had been structured without any increase in taxes, with a focus on planned and balanced urban development. She stated that the financial plan prioritises delivery of public services and civic amenities, while maintaining fiscal discipline through better allocation and utilisation of resources.
The budget outlines spending priorities across sectors such as sanitation, healthcare, environmental management, education, welfare schemes and urban infrastructure. Officials indicated that the allocation is intended to strengthen service delivery standards and support ongoing as well as upcoming civic projects across Navi Mumbai.
Municipal Commissioner Dr Kailas Shinde stated that the administration would focus on effective implementation of budget provisions to ensure improved service delivery to residents. He informed the general body that various departments are currently executing infrastructure and civic projects, with additional initiatives planned over the coming months.
The commissioner also emphasised the need to improve revenue mobilisation, particularly through the recovery of pending property tax and water charges. He stated that the civic body would prioritise collection of outstanding dues over the next three months to ensure adequate funding for service delivery and infrastructure development.
In addition, the administration highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen digital governance systems, enabling residents to access municipal services online with reduced procedural delays. Officials noted that digital platforms have seen increasing adoption among citizens.
The civic body also plans to conduct ward-level meetings involving elected representatives and officials to address local issues more effectively.
