Plans afoot for Nagpur-Goa ‘economical corridor’: Fadnavis

 

 

 

“Maharashtra Government is planning to construct Nagpur to Goa highway on the lines of the Samruddhi Mahamarg,” said Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday. Fadnavis added that the highway connecting Vidarbha, Marathwada and Western Maharashtra would create new ‘economical corridor’ in State. He was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the Vidarbha chapter of National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) here. MLC Dr Parinay Fuke; MLA Mohan Mate; former Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Darda; wife of Deputy Chief Minister - Amruta Fadnavis; NAREDCO President Rajan Bandelkar; Vice-Chairperson of NAREDCO Dr Niranjan Hiranandani; first President of the Vidarbha Unit of NAREDCO Ghanshyam Dhokne; Vice-President Brijmohan Tiwari; and Founder Chairman MahaRERA Gautam Chatterjee also were present on the occasion. Fadnavis further said that Vidarbha’s real estate would gain from the new highway and the under-construction Samruddhi Mahamarg.

 

“It will give boost to logistics and warehousing in the region. Moreover, due to the expressway linkages Nagpur will become the centre-point of India’s economic growth story. “Expressways like the Samruddhi Mahamarg will also open up new vistas for real estate and other sectors,” Fadnavis added. Speaking about the NAREDCO, Fadnavis lauded the formation of the Vidarbha unit of NAREDCO, saying it would lead to transparency, accountability and make things easier for the home-buyers across the region, just as in other parts of the country where RERA has brought in an environment of safe and secure real estate transactions.

 

He highlighted how the Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde was in agreement on the need to create a positive environment for real estate growth, as it reflects upon the economic growth and development. Earlier, Rajan Bandelkar spoke about the change which NAREDCO Maharashtra had brought about, and how Devendra Fadnavis had played an important role in the initial stages of setting up MahaRERA. Lauding the contribution of Gautam Chatterjee, the NAREDCO National President said he hoped the same process would be emulated by the Vidarbha chapter, leading to real estate playing its role in accelerating economic growth. Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, Vice-Chairperson, NAREDCO said Vidarbha was poised for economic growth, with real estate being the driver. He pointed out that various issues relating to real estate faced different challenges, leading to delays, which needed resolution. Ghanshyam Dhokne said setting up of the NAREDCO Chapter had created high expectations from all stakeholders in Vidarbha, and he hoped the expectations would come true. “The aim of NAREDCO Vidarbha is to create a structured industry, which will result in economic growth of the region,” Dhokne concluded.
