Indian government has approved the construction of six-lane access controlled Greenfield High Speed National Highway starting from JNPA Port (Pagote) to Chowk in Maharashtra. The project will be developed on Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis at a total capital cost of INR 4500.62 crore. Furthermore the project covers an area of around 29.19 km.

Additionally, development of integrated infrastructure is given utmost importance in PM Gatishakti scheme. With increasing container volume in JNPA port and the development of the Navi Mumbai International Airport, a need was identified for increasing the National highway connectivity in the region.

Currently, it takes 2-3 hours for vehicles to move from JNPA Port to the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) section of NH-48 and Mumbai – Pune Expressway due to heavy congestion in urban areas like Palaspe Phata, D-Point, Kalamboli junction and Panvel. After the operationalization of Navi Mumbai airport in 2025, the need for direct connectivity is expected to increase further.

Accordingly, this project will improve the logistic efficiency of connecting JNPA port and Navi Mumbai International Airport.
 

The highway starts at JNPA port (NH 348) (Pagote village) and ends at Mumbai-Pune Highway (NH-48). It also links Mumbai Pune Expressway and Mumbai Goa National highway (NH-66).

The new 6 lane green field project corridor will lead to better port connectivity help in safe and efficient freight movement. The project will open new avenues of growth, development and prosperity in developing regions in and around Mumbai and Pune.
