Mumbai: Mumbai is gearing up for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit on Wednesday, October 29, to address the Global Maritime CEO Forum at the NESCO Exhibition Centre in Goregaon (East). The event, part of India Maritime Week (IMW) 2025, is expected to draw top international maritime leaders, policymakers and investors, prompting extensive traffic restrictions in the surrounding areas.
The five-day India Maritime Week, themed on sustainable maritime growth and blue economy strategies, was inaugurated on Monday, October 27, by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The conclave aims to position India as a global maritime power, with Prime Minister Modi leading discussions on strengthening port infrastructure, green shipping initiatives, and resilient supply chains.

Only emergency vehicles, VIP convoys, and local residents will be permitted entry. The right turn from Mrinaltai Gore Junction towards NESCO Gap via Ram Mandir Road will remain closed, while the service road from Hub Mall to Jaycoach Junction will also be shut.
