MUMBAI: In a major decision, the MVA government under Uddahv Thackeray on Wednesday decided to go ahead with the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Corridor project conceived by the previous Devendra Fadnavis government. The state cabinet also decided to name the project after Balasaheb Thackeray instead of Atal Bihari Vajpeyee.
While the state government made available additional Rs 3,500 crore as the capital for the project, the cabinet today also decided to waive off all the stamp duties applicable to all financial transactions related to the project, minister Eknath Shinde said after the cabinet meeting.
As minister in-charge of Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) in Fadnavis cabinet, Shinde had played a crucial role in developing the project.
