The MMRDA has decided to install noise barriers near IIT, Mumbai. The distance between the IIT campus and the main road has decreased to quite an extent after the MMRDA acquired land from IIT Mumbai to widen the Jogeshwari-Kurla Link Road. As a result, noise levels inside the campus have increased considerably. The noise barriers will decrease noise levels to more acceptable levels, and provide students at the premier educational institute more quieter surroundings.
