promoting commercial establishment along with it & to boost city’s public transport network.
AIM:-
People and goods must be mobile to ensure access to employment and basic services, for the productive economy to run smoothly and for cities to
be efficient and liveable.
B) OBJECTIVE:-

2) To promote usage of public transport by integrating different transport services & making public mobility easy & affordable by different class of
people.
3) Integrating different road services like Bus,Taxis, Rickshaws,Metro,Railways etc to make interchange between them easy

LOCATION :- WADALA,MUMBAI
• The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA)
has firmed up plans to build a multi-modal transport hub in Wadala
spread across 18.44 hectares.
• The transport hub once completed will enable passengers to commute
with multiple modes of transportation and interchange all under one roof.
• It will in turn give boost to the state government’s pending proposal to
transform Wadala into a commercial hub.
• With the construction of the multi-modal transport hub, the state
government aims to create 1.2 lakh jobs in the different public transport
system that will be introduced in Wadala, said a MMRDA official.
• The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA)
has recently secured approval from Brihamni Mumbai Electricity Supply
and Transport (BEST) for setting up an integrated transport hub (ITH).
• The Transport Hub is set to come up at Wadala, where residents would be
able to use the services provided by BEST, Inter-State Bus Terminal,
Monorail and Metro 4 — connecting Wadala to Kasarwadavali in Thane.
WADALA TO BECOME NEXT COMMERCIAL HUB
• The dwindling land resources of Bandra-Kurla Complex have forced the Mumbai Metropolitan Region
Development Authority (MMRDA) to look at new avenues for creating business hubs in the city.
• The need for creating alternate growth centers is necessary as commercial centers such as BKC are
running out of land.
• BKC comes under the airport funnel zone, a restricted region, the developers were unable to increase the
height of the buildings. However, such will not be the case while undertaking the development of Wadala
land. The lessee will be provided four Floor Space Index(FSI) for the development of land here.
• Infrastructure projects like the monorail, connectivity of the Eastern Freeway and the upcoming Metro 4
(Wadala-Thane-Kasarvadavali) will increase the area’s real-estate potential.
• Four global consultancy firms and eight Indian companies have shown interest in the project to transform
Wadala into an international finance and business centre.
• Besides, the authority is in talks with the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply & Transport (BEST) owner of
Anik bus depot and merge the plot with the notified area. Apart from developing a second business hub, it
will undertake a transit-oriented development since Monorail, Metro, BEST, and inter-state bus terminal
are already located here.
