Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday reiterated his government’s focus on improving Mumbai’s infrastructure and enhancing the Ease of Living, as he prepared to inaugurate two of the city’s most significant projects: Phase 1 of the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) and the final phase of Mumbai Metro Line 3.

Taking to X, the Prime Minister wrote, “On the way to Navi Mumbai to take part in the programme marking the inauguration of Phase-1 of the Navi Mumbai International Airport. With this, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region will get its second major international airport, thus boosting commerce and connectivity. The final phase of the Mumbai Metro Line-3 will also be inaugurated. We are committed to enhancing Mumbai’s infrastructure and boosting Ease of Living for the people of this dynamic city.”

Speaking about the inauguration of Mumbai Metro, he added, “Phase 2B of the Mumbai Metro Line-3 is a significant enhancement to Mumbai’s infrastructure! Metro connectivity is essential for a city’s growth. This project will have a positive impact on the lives of the people of Mumbai.”

### Navi Mumbai International Airport: India’s Largest Greenfield Aviation Project

Developed at an estimated cost of ₹19,650 crore, the Navi Mumbai International Airport represents a major step in India’s journey towards becoming a global aviation hub. Built under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, it is India’s largest Greenfield airport project and the second international airport for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

Spread over 1,160 hectares, NMIA has been designed for maximum efficiency, with the capacity to handle 90 million passengers and 3.25 million metric tonnes of cargo annually. The airport will feature an Automated People Mover (APM) connecting all four passenger terminals for smooth inter-terminal transfers, along with another landside APM linking city-side facilities.

Environmentally conscious in design, NMIA incorporates Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) storage, 47 MW of solar power generation, and electric bus services for city-wide connectivity. It will also become India’s first airport connected by a Water Taxi service, enhancing accessibility while reducing carbon emissions.

### Metro Line 3: Mumbai’s First Fully Underground Metro

Alongside the airport inauguration, PM Modi will also inaugurate Phase 2B of Mumbai Metro Line 3, stretching from Acharya Atre Chowk to Cuffe Parade. Built at an estimated cost of ₹12,200 crore, this milestone will allow the Prime Minister to dedicate the entire Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) to the nation.

Constructed at a total cost of over ₹37,270 crore, this project marks a monumental leap in Mumbai’s urban mobility network. The city’s first fully underground metro line, Metro 3 is expected to transform daily commuting by providing faster, cleaner, and more efficient travel between North and South Mumbai.

By connecting major business, residential, and transport hubs, Metro Line 3 promises to ease congestion, reduce pollution, and redefine public transport for millions of Mumbaikars.

**PM Modi Pens Special Foreword for Italian PM Meloni’s Autobiography**

*By Chanshimla Varah | Sep 29, 2025, 04:24 pm*

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has penned the foreword for the Indian edition of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s autobiography, *I Am Giorgia: My Roots, My Principles*. The book will be published by Rupa Publications in India.

In his foreword, PM Modi described Meloni’s life as more than just a story of politics and power. He highlighted her courage and unwavering commitment to public service as defining aspects of her journey.

### Leadership Commendation: ‘Meloni Has Provided Strength and Stability to Italy’

PM Modi praised Meloni’s leadership, stating that she has brought strength and stability to Italy. He wrote, “She has always been pragmatic and committed to furthering global good.”

Drawing a parallel to Indian traditions, Modi connected Meloni’s rise to the concept of *Nari Shakti*—the divine feminine energy revered in Indic culture. He observed, “There are various ways to understand as well as appreciate Meloni’s rise and leadership. Among those, I can see a strong connection between her story and the concept of Nari Shakti.”

### Cultural Resonance: ‘India and Italy Bound by Shared Civilizational Instincts’

The Prime Minister noted that Meloni has remained deeply rooted in her heritage while confidently leading her nation on the global stage. Her journey from a modest neighborhood in Rome to holding Italy’s highest political office exemplifies the power of purpose beyond narrow partisan politics.

According to Modi, “Her purpose of defending motherhood, national identity, and tradition will resonate with readers in India. Her belief in defending one’s cultural heritage, while engaging with the world on equal terms, mirrors our own values.”

### Book Endorsement: PM Modi Calls Meloni’s Autobiography ‘Mann Ki Baat’

PM Modi underlined the shared civilizational instincts binding India and Italy—such as safeguarding heritage and celebrating womanhood. He expressed confidence that Meloni’s autobiography would be embraced as a “refreshing story of an outstanding contemporary political leader and patriot.”

He also referred to the book as her “Mann Ki Baat,” echoing the title of his popular monthly radio address to the nation.

The friendship and camaraderie between Modi and Meloni have been widely celebrated on social media, with their interactions frequently going viral under the hashtag #Melodi.
