Maha CM Orders CIDCO to Boost Navi Mumbai Airport Connectivity.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has directed the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) to prioritize the development of a comprehensive multi-modal transport connectivity system at the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. Speaking at a review meeting focused on CIDCO-led projects, including the airport's development, the Chief Minister emphasized the creation of a seamless transport experience for future airport users.

Highlighting the project's unique status, Fadnavis stated, "A multi-modal transport system should be created from the metro station to the airport. Care should be taken to ensure that citizens do not face any inconvenience. This will be the first international airport in the country to have such a facility." He further urged CIDCO to adhere to strict timelines for all ongoing projects, ensuring high-quality housing construction and affordable housing options for citizens.

The Chief Minister also stressed the importance of developing world-class sports facilities in the Navi Mumbai area and expedited the completion of the Kharghar Valley Golf Course.

Looking ahead, Fadnavis envisioned the creation of environmentally sustainable and prosperous cities. "Considering future challenges, it is necessary to create environmentally friendly and prosperous cities. Along with a multi-modal transport system, emphasis should be placed on employment generation, and more use of solar energy should be made," he stated. He specifically mandated the inclusion of a water taxi facility at the Navi Mumbai International Airport, further solidifying its status as a pioneering transport hub.

Recognizing the airport's potential as a global gateway, the Chief Minister called for the early development of general aviation facilities and ample parking and aircraft repair services. He also emphasized the timely completion of road, rail, metro, and water transport connectivity projects.

Furthermore, Fadnavis urged CIDCO to accelerate the implementation of the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) project, ensuring that road infrastructure is designed to accommodate future traffic demands. He also mandated the inclusion of strict project timelines in all future infrastructure tenders, emphasizing the need for efficient project delivery in the age of modern technology.

"When modern technology is available, it is not appropriate for any work to be delayed for a long time. Therefore, the duration of the works should be determined," he remarked, underscoring his commitment to timely and efficient infrastructure development.
