Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation or BMC is the local urban governing body of the city of Bhubaneswar in the Indian state of Odisha. The municipal corporation consists of democratically elected members, is headed by a mayor and administers the city's infrastructure and public services. This civic administrative body administers an area of 135 km sq.[1]

The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation was established in 1994.[2] The city is divided into 67 administrative wards and 46 Revenue Villages.[1] Each ward elects a councillor to the BMC. By means of the standing committees, the corporation undertakes urban planning and maintains roads, government-aided schools, hospitals, and municipal markets.[3] As Bhubaneswar's apex body, the corporation discharges its functions through the mayor-in-council, which comprises a mayor, a deputy mayor, and other elected members of the BMC. The functions of the BMC include water supply, drainage and sewerage, sanitation, solid waste management, street lighting, and building regulation.[2] As of 2012, the Biju Janata Dal controls the BMC; the mayor is Ananta Narayan Jena and Deputy Mayor is K. Shanti. Another ancillary civic body is the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), which is responsible for the statutory planning and development of the Greater Bhubaneswar area.
