The Maharashtra government has approved land acquisition for the INR 80,000 crore Maharashtra-Goa Shaktipeeth Expressway, a project aimed at promoting tourism, transport, and rural development across 12 districts. The government has sanctioned a INR 12,000 crore loan from HUDCO to acquire around 7,500 hectares of land for the project, which will be executed by the MSRDC. This approval comes after a previous delay in land acquisition due to farmer protests in Kolhapur in 2023. The project is a key part of the state government's plan to boost the economy of the rural areas and connect the Shakti Peeths.

The government has sanctioned a INR 12,000 crore loan from the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) for the acquisition of around 7,500 hectares of land for the project. The government will also cover any revenue shortfall for the HUDCO loan repayment.
The land acquisition was stalled in 2023 due to farmer protests in Kolhapur. The new government resolution (GR) provides a clear framework for the acquisition, which is a key step towards moving the project forward.
The project is a significant part of the state government's plan to boost the economy of the rural areas and connect the Shakti Peeths, which are a group of temples dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Shakti. The MSRDC will carry out the tendering process for the project after all financial and administrative approvals are in place.
The project is a key part of Maharashtra's plan to improve its infrastructure and connect the rural areas to the urban centers.
