Maharashtra government, Prasar Bharati plan nearly 150-acre Malad media hub
Mumbai's about to get a huge boost in its creative scene; the Maharashtra government and Prasar Bharati are planning a nearly 150-acre integrated film and television media hub in Malad.
The goal? Turn Mumbai into a global hotspot for media and entertainment.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis gave the green light on June 3, 2026, and the project will run alongside Goregaon Film City.
Fadnavis seeks policy changes for project
The hub will feature modern film studios, sound stages, IT spaces, hotels, and schools for film and music.
There's even talk of teaming up with international institutes for hands-on training right on site.
But there are some hurdles; the land falls under strict development rules (NDZ/CRZ), so only part of it can be used.
To keep things moving fast, a consulting agency will prepare the pre-feasibility study, infrastructure action plan, and DPR, while the comprehensive development plan will be submitted by June end.
Fadnavis promised policy changes to clear the way: "Statutory clearances, policy amendments and revisions to development control rules are necessary before the project can move forward at full scale,"
If all goes well, it'll open new doors for local filmmakers and musicians and give Mumbai's economy a real lift.
