Chairing a review meeting at the Chief Minister's Infrastructure War Room at Sahyadri Guest House, Fadnavis stressed that timely completion of projects was critical for Maharashtra's economic growth and directed agencies to overcome hurdles that often slow down execution.

According to the report, on issues related to the Dharavi redevelopment tender process, Fadnavis said there was no need to seek fresh Cabinet approval and instructed the implementing agency to resolve pending matters through coordination with relevant departments.
