Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has directed officials to accelerate the Thane cluster redevelopment scheme, transferring key projects in Kopri, Kisannagar, and Wagle Estate from Mahatma Phule Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Technology Ltd to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation for faster execution. The projects will be designated as 'vital public housing projects' to enable quicker approvals. Shinde also urged resolution of pending land and rehabilitation issues through a tripartite agreement between MIDC and the Thane civic body within a week. The government plans to expand similar cluster redevelopment models to other MIDC areas in Navi Mumbai, Kalyan-Dombivli, and Vasai-Virar.
