At a high-level review meeting on major development projects, including the airport being developed by CIDCO, the Chief Minister underscored the need for a sustainable, integrated transport ecosystem that prioritises citizens\u2019 convenience, environmental responsibility and long-term urban resilience.<\/h4>\n<h4>The planned connectivity will bridge the airport with metro stations, rail networks, arterial highways, and the waterfront\u2014making the airport uniquely accessible through various modes of green transport. \u201cThis will be the first international airport in the country to offer water taxi access, transforming the way people commute and enhancing Mumbai\u2019s global image as a forward-looking metropolis,\u201d said Fadnavis. The CM\u2019s instructions included timely completion of all transport infrastructure to avoid project delays and cost overruns, with a particular emphasis on using modern technology and setting strict timelines in tenders for public works. \u201cWith the technology available today, delays are no longer excusable. CIDCO must ensure all projects meet deadlines without compromising quality,\u201d he said.<\/h4>\n<h4>Fadnavis also called on CIDCO to focus on transit-oriented urban design, ensure high-quality affordable housing under current schemes, and accelerate efforts on the Kharghar Valley Golf Course and sports infrastructure development. He reiterated that infrastructure should serve not just as a public utility, but also as a catalyst for employment and economic opportunity in the region. The Navi Mumbai International Airport is envisaged as a cornerstone in the state\u2019s long-term urban vision, not only easing congestion at Mumbai\u2019s existing airport but also stimulating development in Navi Mumbai\u2019s adjoining regions. To that end, the Chief Minister urged CIDCO to expedite the implementation of the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) plan. Roads under NAINA, he noted, must be designed for future traffic volumes, reflecting a proactive approach to urban mobility.<\/h4>\n<h4>He also highlighted the importance of general aviation services at the airport\u2014catering to private aircraft, offering aircraft repair and parking facilities, and integrating auxiliary services that elevate the airport\u2019s functionality and commercial viability. Fadnavis\u2019s vision aligns with India\u2019s broader urban development goals\u2014creating smart, low-emission cities with efficient transport, equitable housing, and inclusive infrastructure. As Navi Mumbai stands at the cusp of transformation, CIDCO\u2019s role will be pivotal in translating these ambitions into a liveable, sustainable urban future. With plans for multimodal access, solar energy integration, and citizen-centric planning, the Navi Mumbai International Airport could soon emerge as a model for next-generation airport cities in India.<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<a href=\"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/indias-hubballi-airport-shines-globally-with-first-of-its-kind-solar-energy-plant\/\">https:\/\/livzzy.in\/indias-hubballi-airport-shines-globally-with-first-of-its-kind-solar-energy-plant\/<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Navi Mumbai Airport to Lead in Mobility<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has directed the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) to ensure robust, multi-modal connectivity to the upcoming Navi Mumbai International<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[149,146,147,1,148],"tags":[16998,16999,17000,913,17001],"class_list":["post-41920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-infrastructure","category-latest","category-news","category-uncategorized","category-urban-news","tag-cidco-transport-plan","tag-maharashtra-cm-directives","tag-multi-modal-connectivity","tag-navi-mumbai-international-airport","tag-water-taxi-airport-india"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/41921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
