Chairing a high-level review meeting at Vidhan Bhavan, Fadnavis said the project will be implemented in three phases and stressed the need to identify suitable land for developing shipyards.

He added that proactive steps are being taken to fast-track the project, drawing parallels with Mumbai’s expanding metro rail network.
