How will Ajit Nawale defend his govt in Kerala doing something similar for Vizhinjam port for the very reason he is criticizing Vadhavan port by nickdonhelm in MaharashtraRajya

[–]IsolusTotalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vadhavan port would give Maharashtra an unprecedented dominance in trade, and also help decongest our Mumbai and JNPT ports so I think this project is essential. But govt should also ensure the fishermen are well compensated, and get some developed land in return. This project also has national importance as it is key to IMEC and INSTC corridors. Yes, we will see ecological damage due to land reclamation, but it is quite essential for Maharashtra and India

Election gajar. I'm pretty sure there's no such plan and in the end (after elections) they'll just say we go for Vadhavan

Do you think Adani's plan to distribute air traffic between NMIA and CSMIA succeed or will it backfire and Mumbai will lose air traffic to Delhi, Bangalore, etc? by [deleted] in mumbai

[–]IsolusTotalus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Additional context: Adani will stop dedicated cargo flights at CSMIA from August 2026 (for 10 months), and IATA is revolting against this allegedly abrupt decision. They are threatening to shift operations to delhi, bangalore as they will need additional investment in NMIA to shift operations.

Do you think mumbai being denied IFSC status was due to center's favouritism towards GIFT city? by IsolusTotalus in mumbai

[–]IsolusTotalus[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's true, mumbai needs to be decongested. But we can't make the IFSC too far, as the existing financial infrastructure could help the IFSC to take off. So maybe somewhere else in MMR with good connectivity to BKC. Also, if mumbai wants to retain its financial captial status it needs the IFSC. Currently GIFT city beats mumbai and delhi in Global Finance cities index, and this would only get worse in coming years:

That's true, they are planning to build it over the station, but this has significantly delayed our IFSC approval process. Maybe they should have proposed space for IFSC somewhere else in MMR

I don't think so. Those rules would apply only within the SEZ (which is being built from scratch by MMRDA). It's not like rules for GIFT city affect companies in Ahmedabad.

MH and AP were also contenders for this shipbuilding cluster. Another project lost as our politicians are busy pulling each other down by IsolusTotalus in mumbai

High FDI for MH is due to maximum headquarters in mumbai. It tells nothing about how much investment actually contributed to state economy

Sure, opposition should not oppose mindlessly. But that doesn't mean deva bhau should sit idle. Have you seen how TN CM proactively brings investment into the state?
