The construction of the Sewri-Nhava Sheva Sealink has hit another roadblock. The Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) is eyeing Rs 500 crore or 25 acres of land in lieu of the five hectares of land that is required for the Mumbai Trans Harbour Sea Link (MTHL).

According to sources, MbPT has demanded 25 acres of land or Rs 500 crore in a letter written by its chairman Rajeev Gupta recently. The proposal to allocate its land for the MTHL is likely to come up for discussion in MbPT’s board meeting scheduled on November 1, said sources.
