In July 2020, forest department wrote to the Cidco and the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) -- who own the land on which this network of wetlands is located -- seeking their comments on declaring these six water bodies as Conservation Reserves under the Indian Wildlife Act, which would deter any further development around them.
Cidco and JNPT have both since rejected this proposal.
In a response to the forest department, CIDCO wrote that these sites “are developable land parcels” which “do not qualify to be declared as wetlands.” Cidco is also currently fighting a Bombay High Court order which restricts it from developing the TSC-NRI wetlands into an 80 hectare golf course and residential complex.
