According to official information, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has given permission for the festival to be held at Tansen's tomb in Hazira in Gwalior.

The service will reduce the 375-km road distance between Bhavnagar and Surat to 90-km by sea route, Modi said while flagging off the service via video conferencing.

The Ro-Pax Terminal being inaugurated at Hazira is 100 meters in length and 40 metres in width, with cost implications of approximately Rs 25 crore.
