In an interactive session held after he unveiled the country’s financial capital’s plans and projects. He said even now Mumbai was the startup capital of the country followed by Pune in the tech sector.
Reiterating his government’s commitment to complete a 375-km metro project to ensure east and west connectivity in the MMR, Fadnavis noted that the underground tunnels will serve a twin purpose of operating metro rails and cars/ buses.
He stressed on the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTNL), named as Atal Setu, as a game changer which has made third city three times larger than Mumbai a reality along with Navi Mumbai and international airport. Fadnavis said the completed first phase of the Coastal Road will be inaugurated soon.
Moreover, the ongoing projects will not only help decongest Mumbai but ensure fastest connectivity.
