The
Union Cabinet approved the construction of a 6-lane access-controlled
greenfield high-speed National Highway to connect JNPA Port (Pagote) with Chowk
(29.219 km) in Maharashtra at an investment of Rs 4,500 crore. According to an
official statement, the project will be developed on build, operate and
transfer (BOT) mode at a total cost of Rs 4,500.62 crore.“The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, has approved the construction of 6-lane access-controlled
Greenfield High-Speed National Highway starting from JNPA Port (Pagote) to
Chowk (29.219 km) in Maharashtra,” it said.
The
development of road connecting infrastructure to major and minor ports in India
is one of the main focus areas of integrated infrastructure planning under PM
Gatishakti National Master Plan principles, it added. “With the increasing container volume at JNPA port and the development
of the Navi Mumbai International Airport, a need was identified for augmenting
National highway connectivity in the region,” the statement said.
Currently,
it takes 2-3 hours for vehicles to move from JNPA Port to the arterial Golden
Quadrilateral (GQ) section of NH-48 and Mumbai–Pune Expressway due to heavy
congestion in urban areas like Palaspe Phata, D-Point, Kalamboli junction, and
Panvel. After the operationalisation of Navi Mumbai Airport in 2025, the need
for direct connectivity is expected to increase further. Accordingly, the statement said, this project is designed to address
these connectivity requirements and to improve the logistic efficiency of
connecting JNPA port and Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The
project alignment starts at JNPA port (NH 348) (Pagote village) and ends at
Mumbai-Pune Highway (NH-48) while also linking Mumbai-Pune Expressway and
Mumbai-Goa National Highway (NH-66). Two tunnels passing through Sahayadri are
provided for ease of movement for commercial vehicles instead of a ghat section
in hilly terrain, ensuring high speed and ease of movement for large container
trucks. The new 6-lane green field
project corridor will lead to better port connectivity helping in safe and
efficient freight movement.
The project will open new avenues of growth,
development and prosperity in developing regions in and around Mumbai and Pune.
