Pod Cars to Connect Mira-Bhayandar with Thane-Ghodbunder After BKC

As the pod taxi plan for Bandra-Kurla Complex progresses slowly, the state government is now considering a new route to introduce the vehicles. Plans are underway to connect Mira-Bhayandar with Thane-Ghodbunder, aiming to ease urban traffic congestion and improve connectivity between railway and metro stations. State Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik, who recently visited Vadodara to inspect the pod car being developed, confirmed the new route. Accompanied by the transport commissioner, senior delegates, and an MLA from Gujarat, Sarnaik visited the Futran Experience Centre of Nutran EV Mobility in Vadodara’s Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Wagodiya. Futran’s development aligns with the Make in India initiative, with 70% of components already domestically produced and a target of 85% local production by 2028. This ensures cost-effective manufacturing, low maintenance, and sustainability for Indian urban transport.
