Maharashtra Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis approved an ambitious plan to develop a sprawling plot of government land in suburban Thane on the lines of the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). “We had a prolonged discussion on development of 72 acres of land in Kalwa on the lines of BKC. In principle, we have accepted the proposal. I have asked the MMRDA, which will be the nodal agency for the project, to draft an action plan soon,“ Fadnavis said.
Earlier, Fadnavis held a meeting attended by public works (MSRDC) minister Eknath Shinde, BJP legislator Sanjay Kelkar and NCP's Jitendra Awhad who had approached the CM for development of the Kalwa land. Immediately after being sworn in as CM in October, Fadnavis had lamented the fact that Mumbai had only one BKC and said that he wished to see many such commercial complexes spring up across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
On Friday he said, “I am sure that once the plot is commercially developed, it will change the economic situation of the entire Thane region, that too in a time-bound period. I also propose to link it to the Metro line.“
The CM said he has asked MMRDA bureaucrats to ensure that it turns out to be one of the best commercial hubs, with open spaces and state-of-the-art facilities for industrial houses and entrepreneurs.
Awhad said since it will be a commercial venture, financial support from the state government will not be required.
