Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the long-awaited water taxi service from Mumbai to Navi Mumbai during his visit here in the first week of January, official sources said.
The PM will also inaugurate a chemical terminal at the Mumbai Port Trust that has been operational since October, and perform the ground-breaking ceremony for another chemical terminal at the port.
The water taxi, which will cut commute time between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, was first planned three decades ago. It was taken up seriously over the last few years as part of the Centre’s inland waterways initiative.
