Centre Transfers Salt Land for Dahisar-Vasai Road

The Union government has approved the transfer of 53 acres of salt land in Maharashtra’s Thane district for the construction of a road link between Dahisar and Vasai Creek, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal announced. The project is being executed in two phases — the Dahisar to Bhayander coastal road and the Bhayander to Vasai Creek stretch.

“The central government has decided to transfer 53.174 acres of salt land in Thane district to the Maharashtra government. This land has been approved for an important road project between Dahisar and Vasai Creek,” Goyal said in a post on X.

Last year, the Centre revised its guidelines for transferring government-owned salt lands, introducing an online auction system that allows private sector participation if central public sector enterprises or states do not acquire the land at applicable rates.

India has about 60,000 acres of salt land spread across Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Gujarat, and Karnataka.
