The state’s development agency, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), is reported to have proposed the circuit along the Mumbai-Pune expressway. The said stretch connects two of the major cities in India; the latter carries a Tier II status.
“MMRDA plans to first hold a meeting with interested parties on August 17 to take the idea forward,” said a state government official speaking to Business Standard. “The proposed site along the 93-km Mumbai-Pune expressway is ideal. However, the final site will be decided on after taking into account suggestions from those interested in investing in the project,” he added under conditions of anonymity.
