Maharashtra Budget 2025: Maharashtra Finance Minister Ajit Pawar on Monday, during the Maharashtra Budget 2025 speech, revealed plans to develop a third airport for Mumbai. This ambitious project will be located near the Vadhvan port in Palghar district, marking a major infrastructure boost for the state. The proposed airport is slated to become operational by 2030.
NCP leader Ajit Pawar further announced the proposal of a Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train station will be near Vadhvan port.
Ajit Pawar also announced that the Shirdi airport will soon be equipped with ‘night landing facility’.
The decision to establish a new airport comes as a response to the increasing air traffic demands in Mumbai. The city’s existing airports, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) and Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), which is currently under construction, are expected to reach their capacity limits in the coming years.
