To
improve trade and growing traffic volume Indian Federal Government has finally
decided to build a new 27-mile expressway connecting the Port of Jawaharlal
Nehru (Nhava Sheva) with the interstate highway system. The road project
requires an investment of about Rs. 1,944 corer (about $314 million).
This
highway network would serve variety of purposes such as reduce the time and
cost of travel for traffic, particularly heavy traffic, going towards JN Port
and would connect the port, including the proposed Navi Mumbai International
Airport in Maharashtra.
Nehru,
India’s largest container handler, aims to double its throughput capacity from
the current 4.17 million 20-foot-equivalent units to nearly 9 million TEUs with
a fourth container terminal facility, for which the first stage of bidding is
under way.
