Uddhav Thackeray announced the Balasaheb Thackeray National Memorial's first phase completion, with a public opening planned for January 2026

Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, accompanied by his son Aaditya, inspected the construction site of the Balasaheb Thackeray National Memorial at the Mayor’s bungalow in Dadar on Friday.

Uddhav announced that the memorial’s first phase is complete, and work on the second phase will begin soon and the project, a unique underground structure located on a seafront, is expected to open to the public in January 2026, coinciding with the commencement of Thackeray’s birth centenary year.

Innovative design for safety

Given the memorial’s location, a cutting-edge ‘double-wall flask’ design has been employed to ensure safety from water leakage, even during extreme weather events like the devastating July 26, 2005, Mumbai floods.
