Multiple industrial hubs will come up along the Mumbai-Nagpur super communication highway that is currently under construction.
The 701 km-long highway – Samruddhi Mahamarg – will be the longest expressway in India, and it is an extensive project connecting 10 districts, 26 talukas and 392 villages.
During a review of the project, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said that there should be decentralisation of industries and more industrial hubs must come up along the new highway.
“During COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced that the cases are high where the population density is high. And, population density is high where industries have flourished,” he said, adding that new business nodes must be encouraged near the corridor.
