According to Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) will get up to 50 km of new metro in 2023-2024. During the state assembly 2023-24 budget, Deputy CM made this announcement. He stated that several projects, including Mumbai Metro Line 10 (Gaimukh to Shivaji Chowk, Mira Road, with a total length of 9.2 km and an estimated cost of Rs 44.76 billion), Mumbai Metro Line 11 from Wadala to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSTM), with a total length of 12.77 km and an estimated cost of Rs 87.39 billion, and Metro line 12 from Kalyan to Taloja, with a length of 12.77 km and an estimated cost of Rs 58.65 billion will be completed.

He also stated that 820 public utility improvement works worth Rs 17.29 billion had been carried out for the Mumbai beautifying project.

According to Fadnavis, a proposal to build a jetty and associated facilities for a water transport terminal at Radio Club near the Gateway of India in Mumbai has been given the green light at a cost of Rs 1.62 billion.

A fund of Rs 7.34 billion will be granted for land acquisition at Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar Airport.
