Fadnavis’ Role in Mumbai's Growth
He has been instrumental in accelerating a number of significant infrastructure projects in Mumbai.
The city is currently experiencing major infrastructure upgrades all at once for a purpose, and intelligent administration and strong political will have been crucial. Roads, metro, redevelopments, and much more are among the projects.
Fadnavis, who is currently the deputy chief minister, was instrumental in bringing numerous long-stalled infrastructure projects back to life during his time as chief minister from 2014 to 2019.
Additionally, a number of revolutionary urban initiatives that might alter Mumbai's environment were introduced.
The war room's directive was unambiguous: give priority to initiatives that have a significant impact on a large number of people and make sure departmental inefficiencies don't cause them to stall.
The coastal road, Navi mumbai airport, the second and third mumbai Metro lines, and the mumbai Trans-Harbour line were among the 10 significant infrastructure projects that the war room highlighted when it was originally established in 2015.
During his tenure, each of these initiatives advanced significantly.
JICA is renowned for offering technical and financial support for a range of international development initiatives. The organization has been providing funds for the development of infrastructure in india across several industries.
This includes water supply projects in tamil Nadu and Gujarat, industrial corridors, and transportation, all of which raise living conditions and encourage sustainable growth.
The MTHL project entails building a 21.8-kilometer elevated road, of which 16.11 kilometers will be a maritime link between chile in Navi mumbai and Sewri in South Mumbai. The project, which links mumbai and Navi mumbai, was introduced in january 2024.
But after 53 years, four unsuccessful tendering efforts over a 12-year period, and 15 Chief Ministers since the first plan, fadnavis was ultimately able to satisfy all the standards needed to start the project.
The government of india commissioned Wilbur Smith and Associates to do a traffic study in mumbai after they were founded in 1952 and completed traffic studies in the United Kingdom.
Smith's business spent eighteen months analyzing Mumbai's traffic demands and projecting future traffic patterns between 1962 and 1963.
He suggested building a bridge to connect Uran and South mumbai in his 1963 report to the Ministry of Transportation. But the Uran Bridge, which is now the mumbai Trans Harbour Link, was put in cold storage and kept there for many years.

The most important was resolving the disputes and hold-ups related to the distribution of land for its depot in Aarey, which the MVA government had targeted.
Aarey is a rich biodiversity area that spans 1,800 acres of forest land in the northern neighborhood of Goregaon, close to the Sanjay gandhi National Park (SGNP).
Construction on the disputed Aarey depot started in 2015, but the supreme court put a stop to it in october 2019. About thirty percent of the project was finished at that point.
But when the top brass moved in june 2022, things took a different turn. After the supreme court gave its approval, the project was redirected from Kanjurmarg to Aarey.
With approvals beginning in 2013, this line was the first major project to get money from JICA. It was also awarded a substantial loan of Rs 2,480 Crore in official development assistance (ODA).
The subterranean network is positioned to improve connection from southern mumbai to important activity centers, such as the airport, SEEPZ, and Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), with a projected length of 33.7 kilometers and 26 stops.
Nearly Rs 88,000 crore of the Rs 1,10,000 crore project cost is being financed by JICA.
The first high-speed rail route in india is the 508-kilometer Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed rail (MAHSR) project. The project is expected to cost more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore, with a total expenditure of Rs 1.1 lakh crore.
The maharashtra administration, led by fadnavis, accelerated permissions for the bullet train project while promising japan JICA-funded fast-tracking projects.
