The principle approval from all the ministers has given the project the green light to move forward.

The major ports in the project will consist of those connected by high speed expressways to form the Golden Quadrilateral.

The project will improve and advance the coastal identity in many locations. With its progress it is also expected to give a boost of 2% to the country’s GDP.
