Water Taxi Services: In the midst of Mumbai's crowd and traffic jam, if you have to reach the airport, railway station to catch a flight, then the condition of people worsens. People leave the house by taking a margin from two to two and a half hours of the journey. If you are stuck in a jam, it is difficult to catch the flight, but soon you are going to get relief from this tension. Not hours but from any corner of Mumbai, you will be able to reach Navi Mumbai Airport in just 17 minutes. Navi Mumbai airport will start operations in 2025.

The proposed water taxi service will enable people to reach Navi Mumbai International Airport from anywhere in Mumbai in 17 minutes, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said. This will reduce travel time. The minister for road transport and highways was addressing an election rally in Maharashtra's Thane city on Sunday night. He highlighted the schemes undertaken by the government to transform connectivity and reduce traffic congestion between Mumbai and Thane. Assembly elections in the state will be held on November 20. The international airport in Navi Mumbai is expected to start operations in March 2025. Gadkari said passengers will take "only 17 minutes" to reach the international airport from any part of Mumbai once the proposed water taxi service starts.

He said a jetty has already been constructed near the airport to support the initiative. "By utilising the vast sea lanes around Mumbai and Thane, we can reduce traffic congestion and air pollution to a great extent. On the traffic problems in Mumbai and Pune, Gadkari mentioned about the New Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Once fully operational, external traffic will be diverted and congestion in metropolitan areas will be reduced, he said.
