MSRDC is going to build a 90 km highway from Igatpuri – Charoti. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will construct approximately 35 km of highway from Charoti to Pagaran Port. Accordingly, the proposal for the Igatpuri to Charoti expressway will soon be sent to the state government for approval. With this approximately 125 km long expressway, Nagpur-Pargan port can be traveled directly in just a few hours.

The state’s two major ports, JNPT and Mumbai, are running out of container handling capacity. Therefore, a decision has been taken to build a new port. Under the Sagarmala initiative, the world’s fifth largest port will be set up at Pagarhan in Dahanu taluk. After the construction of this port, MSRDC has started working to speed up the transportation of cargo or other types of traffic from places like Vidarbha, Marathwada etc. The senior officials of MSRDC informed that the concept of expansion of Samriddhi Highway came from that. Officials also said that according to this expansion, an expressway will be constructed between Igatpuri and Pagaran Bandar, Palghar. MSRDC Managing Director Anil Kumar Gaikwad confirmed this.
