The Indian government has announced a major initiative to revitalize tourism, allocating ₹3,295. 76 crore for 40 transformative projects under the Special Assistance to States/Union Territories for Capital Investment (SASCI) scheme. Union Minister for Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat revealed that these projects aim to develop iconic tourist destinations across 23 states, including three in Maharashtra, significantly impacting local economies.
