Balasaheb Thackeray Rashtriya Smarak in Dadar is expected to open by January 2027 after delays in reconstituting its governing committee and election procedures. The report said MMRDA will appoint a facility management agency for security, housekeeping, maintenance and visitor services. The memorial occupies the former Mayor's Bungalow site near Shivaji Park and covers nearly 1.3 hectares.
