A key inauguration was the new terminal building at NAMO Airport in Daman. The terminal will improve regional air connectivity, support tourism growth and enhance access for business travellers and visitors.

Authorities said the projects are intended to provide a significant boost to the overall development of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.

The multipurpose jetties will facilitate year-round berthing of large passenger vessels, including cruise vessels of up to 300 metres in length, and will provide integrated facilities for fish handling, fuel distribution, ice supply and boat repair. With the latest announcements, the combined value of projects launched during the Prime Minister's Gujarat and Daman visit exceeded Rs 210,000 mn, reflecting continued government investment in connectivity, public infrastructure and regional development.
