3. Introduction
• Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), is also
known as Mumbai Trans Harbour Link
(MTHL), Sewri-Nhava Sheva Trans Harbour
Link
• It will connect freeway grade road bridge
connecting the Indian city of Mumbai with Navi
Mumbai .
• If completed, it would be the longest sea bridge
in India.

4. • The sea link is expected to reduce commuting
time between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, and
provide direct connectivity to Mumbai Port
Trust, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and the
proposed Navi -Mumbai International Airport
• It will also allow faster travel to Thane, Nashik,
Panvel, Pune and southern India and is also
expected to boost the economic growth of
neighbouring Raigad district and raise real
estate prices in the region.

6. History
• The MTHL was first proposed in the 1970s. The first concrete
attempt to build it was made in 2004, when Infrastructure Leasing &
Financial Services (IL&FS) submitted a proposal to implement the
project on a build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) basis.
• The State Government called for a fresh bids for the project in 2008.
However, none of the 13 companies that had shown interest,
submitted bids.
• The media criticized the political feud between the ruling Nationalist
Congress Party (NCP) and Congress coalition, as being responsible
for slowing "down the pace of Mumbai's development".
• The project received environmental clearance from the Ministry of
Environment and Forests (MoEF) on 23 October 2012

7. Cost
• The cost of the MTHL has increased several times. In 2005, the
cost of the project was estimated at 4000 Cr.
• The cost was revised to Rs. 6000 Cr in 2008. It was then
increased to Rs. 8800 Cr in November,
• 2011 and finally to Rs.9360 Cr in August 2012.
• In January 2013, the Central Government sanctioned 1920 Cr
(US$310 million), which is 20% of the project cost, in viability
gap for the MTHL.
• The State Government will also contribute the same amount.
• The remaining 60% will have to be borne by the developer who
wins the bid.
