Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant on Saturday said for its overall growth, Maharashtra’s Aurangabad needs an international airport facility and an international convention centre, which will boost tourism and industries in the region.
Kant is on a two-day visit to survey the work at Aurangabad Industrial city (AURIC), established under the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project, and took a tour of the Shendra node on Saturday.
“The project will change the entire region in the next five years. Earlier, it took 20 to 40 years to establish cities such as Gurgaon and Noida. But a ready infrastructure has been provided here before industries come to set up. At least 73 units have been installed here so far,” the official said.
