There is no shortage of lists of Maharashtra infrastructure projects. Almost all of them mix a working airport with a memorandum of understanding and present both as the future. This inventory sorts by status instead: what is finished, what has been awarded but is not open, what has been approved and funded, and what has only been announced. Every figure carries its source and its date.
Completed and open
These are operating assets. Nothing about them depends on a future decision.
| Project | Key figures | Opened or completed |
|---|---|---|
| Navi Mumbai International Airport, Phase 1 | ₹19,650 crore per PIB; 20 million passengers a year and 0.5 million tonnes cargo; one runway; operator NMIAL, 74% Mumbai International Airport Ltd and 26% CIDCO | Inaugurated 8 October 2025; commercial domestic operations from 25 December 2025; first scheduled international flight 15 July 2026, Air India Express to Abu Dhabi |
| Atal Setu (Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link) | 21.8 km, six lanes, ₹17,840 to ₹17,843 crore, Sewri to Nhava Sheva and Chirle | 13 January 2024, per MMRDA |
| Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link | 13.3 km, eight lanes, tunnels of 1.6 to 1.75 km and 8.92 km, a 650 m cable-stayed bridge; MSRDC puts the saving at about 6 km and 20 to 25 minutes | Inaugurated 1 May 2026, open to motorists from 2 May 2026 |
| Western Dedicated Freight Corridor | 1,506 km, JNPT to Dadri; final JNPT to New Saphale section commissioned | 31 March 2026, per reporting citing DFCCIL |
| JNPA container capacity | Crossed 10 million TEU annual capacity in January 2025, India's first, on BMCT Phase 2 adding 2.4 million TEU, taking the total to about 10.4 million TEU | January 2025, per PIB |
| Dighi Port | Operating multi-cargo port at Rajpuri creek, Murud taluka, owned by Adani Ports and SEZ; two multipurpose berths of about 650 m quay each, about 7 MMT storage yards, a 62,000 KL liquid tank farm | Acquired out of insolvency in 2021 for ₹705 crore |
On airport operations, the summer 2026 schedule covers 46 domestic destinations and 1,092 weekly air traffic movements, with daily departures rising from 22 at launch to 78 by April 2026, flown by IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express. CIDCO's pre-launch claim of 35 international flights daily from May 2026 was not met, and no cumulative passenger figure has been published.
On the port, JNPA handled 102 million tonnes and 8.17 million TEU in FY 2025-26, against 92.11 million tonnes and 7.30 million TEU in FY 2024-25. Its April to July FY 2026-27 data shows 2,994,861 TEU, up 14.37%, and 36.62 million tonnes, up 11.95%. It is India's largest container port, handling about 50% of the country's containerised cargo, and is ranked 23rd globally.
Awarded but not open, with construction status unverified
This is the category that most inventories get wrong, because "under construction" is asserted far more often than it is documented.
- Virar-Alibaug Multimodal Corridor. 126 km planned, 8 to 14 lanes, 99 m right of way, 120 kph design speed, MSRDC. Phase 1 approved 8 May 2026 by the Maharashtra Urban Development Department: 96.41 km, Navghar in Vasai taluka to Balavali in Pen taluka, ₹31,793.47 crore, DBFOT, three-year target. Phase 2 is 29.9 km, Balavali to Chowk. Funding shifted from EPC to BOT in June 2025 after bids exceeded estimates, with a HUDCO loan and a state guarantee. No section is open to traffic. Cost figures conflict badly across sources, from ₹31,793 crore to ₹63,618 crore, and no MSRDC project page is retrievable.
- JNPA (Pagote) to Chowk highway. 29.219 km, six-lane access-controlled greenfield, ₹4,500.62 crore, approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on 19 March 2025, BOT (Toll). Runs from JNPA and NH-348 at Pagote to Chowk on NH-48, connecting to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and NH-66, with two tunnels through the Sahyadris replacing a ghat section. No completion date has been published and construction status is unverified.
- Vadhavan Port. Cabinet approval 19 June 2024, SPV 74% JNPA and 26% Maharashtra Maritime Board, near Dahanu in Palghar, about ₹76,000 crore, 18 m draft, planned for 15 million TEU by 2035 and 23.9 million TEU by 2040. It is a JNPA-majority subsidiary port, not a competitor to JNPA.
- Dighi Port Industrial Area. Approved by the Union Cabinet on 28 August 2024, 6,056 acres, one of twelve nodes under the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme, implemented by NICDC with Maharashtra Industrial Township Limited, expected industry investment ₹38,000 crore and about 114,000 jobs, trunk infrastructure targeted within three years, site about 55 km from Dighi Port on the Mumbai-Goa and Pune-Mangaon highways. Farmers from 78 villages in Raigad have opposed it, and land-acquisition status is unverified.
A Cabinet approval is a decision to spend money. It is not a road. On this corridor the Missing Link took from a 13 June 2017 approval to a 2 May 2026 opening.
Announced only
Each of these is an MoU, a tender, a target or a budget line, attributed to a named body on a named date.
- Second Mumbai-Pune expressway. About 113 km from the Atal Setu and JNPA area to Shivare near Pune, linking the proposed Pune Ring Road. Estimated ₹15,000 crore, designed for about three lakh vehicles a day, targeting a roughly 90-minute commute. NHAI has invited bids for the DPR and feasibility study, reported 26 May 2026. Pre-DPR.
- Dighi Port expansion. MoU dated 27 October 2025 between the Maharashtra Maritime Board and Adani Ports and SEZ, ₹42,500 crore, for a 140 MMTPA multi-cargo port with 22 berths, 2 SPMs, 7.8 km of quay and a 4.6 km breakwater. No timeline given. No current cargo throughput figure for Dighi is published.
- NMIA Phase 2. Terminal 2 and a second runway, about ₹20,000 crore, targeting 60 to 65 million passengers a year by 2029-30, with work to start post-monsoon 2026. Phases 3 and 4 have no dated schedule. Ultimate design is 90 million passengers a year and 3.2 to 3.25 million tonnes of cargo across four terminals.
- Revas-Reddi coastal road (MSH-4). 523 km, about ₹27,000 crore, MSRDC, from Revas near Alibaug to Redi in Sindhudurg. Only bridge tenders had been issued as of June 2024.
- The state's MMR roadmap. In a Rule 293 reply on 8 July 2026, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis described a ₹12,26,871 crore programme, ₹6,14,871 crore at various implementation stages and ₹6,11,836 crore to launch within three years, including "Mumbai 3.0", "Mumbai 4.0" around Vadhavan Port, a 377 km high-speed metro network, an EduCity, data centres and a Health City cluster.
- NITI Aayog's MMR Growth Hub roadmap, released 22 August 2024: MMR GDP from about $140 billion to $300 billion by 2030, about 30 lakh jobs, seven focus sectors, requiring ₹10 to 11 lakh crore of private investment. The plan document is not downloadable from niti.gov.in. Its 2030 target and the 2047 figure above use different baselines and are not comparable.
The MMRDA budget for FY 2026-27
MMRDA's FY 2026-27 budget is ₹48,072.57 crore, its first surplus budget since 2017-18.
| Head | Amount |
|---|---|
| Total budget | ₹48,072.57 crore |
| Development projects (87.42% of the total) | ₹42,026.14 crore |
| Metro | ₹13,838.88 crore |
| Road corridors | ₹12,816.53 crore |
| Growth hubs and urban expansion | ₹4,600 crore |
| Reported as for Mumbai 3.0 and K.S.C. New Town | ₹4,000 crore |
A budget allocation is an announcement of intended spending for one financial year. It tells you where an authority's priorities sit, not what will be delivered.
Two clarifications worth carrying
- K.S.C. New Town is in the planning phase. MMRDA became the New Town Development Authority for its 323.44 sq km and 124 villages in the Uran, Panvel and Pen tehsils on 15 October 2024. There is no sanctioned development plan and no construction. The predecessor statutory term, NAINA, was notified on 10 January 2013 with CIDCO as Special Planning Authority, and its town planning schemes are at tender stage.
- No official 2030 population target for MMR or for Third Mumbai exists. Figures in circulation trace to real-estate blogs rather than to any government document.
How to use this inventory
- Check the status column before the size column. A ₹42,500 crore MoU and a ₹4,500.62 crore Cabinet approval are not comparable objects.
- Ask for the approving body and the date for anything described as approved. Both appear above for every item where they exist.
- Treat every completion date here as a target, including the Virar-Alibaug three-year figure and the 2029-30 airport figure.
- Where a status is unverified, this page says so. Pagote to Chowk and the Virar-Alibaug corridor are the two to watch on that count.
- Re-check before relying on any of it. This inventory is current to 21 August 2026, and on this corridor a year is a long time.
