The iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse, home of the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC), is set for a major transformation with the construction of a modern multi-storey clubhouse as part of the broader redevelopment of the historic venue.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) approved the layout for the project in June 2025, paving the way for a new seven-storey clubhouse and an additional banquet-hall building ona portion of the racecourse land.
The proposed clubhouse will rise seven storeys above ground and include two basement levels for parking. The structure will cover roughly 17,000 square metres and will feature about 177 lodging rooms across its upper floors, designed to accommodate members, guests and racing visitors.
