NAVI MUMBAI: The expansion of JNPT and the infrastructure development is expected to bring in prosperity and growth to the nearby townships, including Dronagiri and Uran, local leaders and developers feel.
The ultra modern port has already changed the landscape of the area. Several big and small businesses have been flourishing and hundreds of youths found employment and even self-employment opportunities.
An SEZ with self-sustainable integrated development project has been launched spread across 277 hectares near the port which promises to generate over 1,50,000 jobs. With this, the area will need infrastructure like housing, commercial establishments, schools, colleges which will translate into massive development.
Mr. Manohar Gajanan Bhoir, MLA from Uran who was present as a guest of honour at an event organized by Prajapati Constructions at Dronagiri, expressed his happiness on various infra development projects being undertaken in the Navi Mumbai region. He was confident that these developments will bring major benefits to the local people by giving them gainful employment and that the quality of life in the area would improve.
JNPT, India’s largest and biggest port for handling container traffic, is all set to grow as one of the top 10 global container ports in the next five years. Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi recently laid the foundation stone of the Rs 4,000-crore port-based multi-product SEZ and the Rs 1,900-crore Port Connectivity Highway Project at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust. With phase 1 of the Rs. 14,500- crore new international airport slated to be operational by 2018, and work on the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) or the Sewree-Uran sea link expected to commence soon, there is an enormous interest being generated by home buyers and industry alike.
