A plan to establish a Mangaluru-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor has been proposed by the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) (MBIC).
In a letter to Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, the President of the Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Shashidhar Pai Maroor, stated that MBIC can connect Karnataka’s only all-weather port (New Mangalore Port) with the capital Bengaluru via the National Highway no. 75, which passes through the hinterland areas of Dakshina Kannada, Hassan, and Bengaluru rural districts.
According to him, the NHAI is already working on the Shiradi ghat tunnel project (23.6 km) and the creation of world-class infrastructure along the region’s connecting channels, which pass through several districts.
