BMC Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal received the 'Mumbai Ratna Award' at the hands of Maharashtra governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari for being an architect to the internationally acclaimed Mumbai Covid fight model. The commissioner dedicated the award to BMC.

On May 5, during the peak of the 2nd Covid wave, Supreme Court Justices DY Chandrachud and MR Shah observed: "The BMC is doing some great work...[Other civic authorities] can learn from them. One mark of success is that against Mumbais daily oxygen need of 230 metric tons (MT), the BMC can supply up to 275 MT per day. Effective oxygen management is one of 25 initiatives the civic body has implemented to beef up the citys medical infrastructure and systems. Together, these protocols make up the 'Mumbai Covid Model'.
