Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis on Friday directed officials to earmark the government land situated near significant infrastructure ventures and transform them into economic hubs similar to Mumbai’s Bandra–Kurla Complex (BKC), reported news agency PTI.

He gave the instructions during a review meeting for the proposed Versova–Bhayander Coastal Road on Friday. During the meeting, CM Fadnavis stressed the importance of expediting permissions and preserving ecological balance, including compensatory mangrove replanting.

“The completion of key infrastructure projects opens up tremendous development potential. Government land in such areas should be earmarked and transformed into new financial centres similar to BKC,” he stated.
