Stakeholders from various sectors, including government officials, business leaders, and environmentalists, have expressed their support for the project, recognizing its potential to transform the coastal transportation landscape in India.

As the project progresses, it is anticipated to set a precedent for future infrastructure developments in the maritime sector, paving the way for similar initiatives that prioritize sustainability and economic development. The Mumbai-Goa Marine Superhighway project stands as a significant step towards modernizing India's transport infrastructure and enhancing the nation's economic resilience.
