The ₹25-crore project, which began construction in 2021, took nearly three years to complete due to restrictions in Malabar Hill’s silent zone. Now in its final stages, the Forest Walkway is expected to open to the public soon, providing Mumbai with a much-needed green retreat amidst its ever-expanding skyline.
