Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said the Union Cabinet's decision to construct a six-lane greenfield national highway connecting JNPA Port with Chowk in Maharashtra will bolster the country's "buzzing" blue economy and spur new growth around Mumbai and Pune.

Reacting to a host of decisions taken by the Cabinet on Wednesday, Shah also said that the approval of the new brownfield Ammonia-Urea complex at Namrup in Assam will drive the rural economy by making an adequate supply of fertilizer within its reach and enhance the Northeast's potential as an exporter.
