Adani Group has demolished RCC chimney at NRC adjoining Titwala road and Ambevalli railway station.
The chimney was built in 1950 when the NRC plant at Mohone-Kalyan was commissioned. The chimney has created safety hazards for Titwala road and Ambevali railway station since the company was in closed-down from November 2009.
The RCC structure was in depleted conditions for almost the past 15 years. All the concerned authorities including Railway, KDMC and Khadakpada Police Station have served various notices to NRC for urgent actions.
NRC went to NCLT in 2018 and Adani Group acquired the company through NCLT in March 2020 and stepped-in in September 2020.
Immediately after taking over the management control, Adani Group decided to dismantle the structures. The chimney was demolished under the supervision of Adani project team and for this it has approached police authority, KDMC, MSEB.
The Adani team is also removing another two RCC chimneys and four steel chimneys along with other old structures in due course of time.
The group has decided to develop world-class logistics park at this place and has already started discussion of their master plan with the Railway and KDMC for their traffic movement through road and rail route.
