PM Modi will inaugurate two major infrastructure projects — the Navi Mumbai International Airport and Phase 2B of the fully underground Mumbai Metro Line 3, connecting South Mumbai, on Wednesday, and attend the Global Fintech Fest 2025 at the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) with Starmer Thursday.

“Once the Global Fintech Fest is over in BKC, PM Modi will arrive at the airport. We do not require any diversion, and only a five-minute traffic halt will be enough to clear the movement”, said a traffic police officer.

Keir Starmer is already in Mumbai, and he has been staying at the Taj Hotel in South Mumbai. Prime Minister Modi will stay at Raj Bhavan.
