Gateway of India to Get ₹229-Crore Modern Jetty Amid Rising Tourist Footfall

Mumbai’s iconic Gateway of India is set for a massive upgrade with a     ₹229-crore     passenger jetty project approved by the Maharashtra Maritime Board . Ports Minister Nitesh Rane performed the groundbreaking on March 14, 2025, with completion expected in two years. The facility, located 500 meters from the Gateway near Radio Club, will accommodate     up to 20 boats simultaneously    , decongesting current ferry traffic to Elephanta Caves and Mandwa . The terminal building will feature a     350-capacity amphitheatre    , berthing jetties, fire safety systems, CCTVs, and beautified gardens . Currently handling massive tourist footfall, this upgrade promises smoother operations and international-standard facilities—critical for Mumbai’s tourism ecosystem.

       Take for B2B Fraternity:    

₹229 crore infrastructure boost. 20-boat capacity means smoother ferry ops. Agents can sell Mumbai packages with confidence—Elephanta trips just got a major upgrade.
