Scheduled to open its gates to the public, the Coastal Road marks a significant milestone in Mumbai's journey towards sustainable urban development. The project, with an estimated cost of ?600 million, is anticipated to reshape the city's infrastructure, unlocking new avenues for growth and progress.
