The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has announced a massive recruitment drive for 235 vacancies across Group A, Group B, and Group C posts.
This is not just another government job. Working with MMRDA means you’ll be directly involved in shaping Mumbai’s infrastructure – think metro rails, flyovers, urban planning, and large-scale development projects. The application process starts February 18, 2026, and closes on March 20, 2026.
