Inland Waterway (Kalyan-Thane-Mumbai-Vasai-Ulhas river) Project (NW-53)

The Phase-I of the proposed water transport project along the Vasai-Thane-Kalyan route was likely to begin in the January 2020 but got delayed due to Covid. The Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) was to implement the pre-investment activities which will cost Rs 128.89 crore.

JNPT was earlier appointed as executive body for Phase-I, but the Ministry of Shipping is now ready to hand over the work to the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC).

The pre-investment activities will include developing jetties at four places, investing in a few initial ferries, starting land acquisition process, developing roads, parking areas, ticketing shops and wireless system along these four jetties.

TMC had proposed a water transport project in two phases. Phase-I will connect Vasai-Thane-Kalyan, while Phase-II will connect Thane to Navi Mumbai and Mumbai. The detailed project report (DPR) for Phase-I was approved in 2018. The entire budget of the water transport project will be given by the Central government.
