Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has announced plans to directly connect the Samruddhi Mahamarg with the upcoming Vadhvan Port through a 90-km transit corridor from Igatpuri, positioning the state as a global logistics hub with enhanced cargo handling capacity.

Reports say the Indian Railway Ministry has approved the final placement survey of a 100-kilometer rail line between Nashik and Dahanu. This new route, which will run via Trimbakeshwar and Vangaon, is projected to save travel time between Nashik and Palghar's main sites.
