Addressing a press conference, Sonowal stated that this initiative is a significant step towards developing essential public infrastructure that will directly benefit the citizens of Assam. The land is strategically situated in the heart of Mumbai, one of India's most important financial hubs, and will serve a variety of needs for the people of Assam.

Sonowal emphasized that this is a people-first initiative, designed to meet the aspirations of the citizens of Assam.

While the specific plans for development are still under consideration, officials have indicated that the focus will be on building infrastructure with high public utility. This includes healthcare and educational facilities, welfare and social service centers, and even an incubation center for entrepreneurs. The 60-year lease ensures that the government has ample time and flexibility to plan and execute sustainable projects.
Mumbai is known as the financial capital of India, and with the development of this land parcel, the government is confident that entrepreneurs from Assam will have better access to the opportunities available in the city. “Mumbai is a financial hub.
