Mumbai to Launch Electric Water Taxi to Navi Mumbai Airport
Soon, you'll be able to take a water taxi, like a boat, from near the Gateway of India to the new airport in Navi Mumbai!
This will make the trip much faster than driving.
These water taxis will use electricity, so they won't pollute the air and will be quieter.
The government is working on building places for the boats to stop and making sure everything is ready.
This is to help people get around easier and make transportation better for the environment.
Electric water taxis will connect the Gateway of India to Navi Mumbai International Airport.
Travel time is estimated to be approximately 40 minutes, reducing road travel time.
The service will use electric boats to provide an eco-friendly transport option.
Terminal and jetty construction is planned near the airport, overseen by the Maharashtra Maritime Board.
The project aims to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity to Navi Mumbai airport.
