For the project in the "city of the Hindu God Lord Krishna," the state government has signed an agreement with Mazgaon Dock shipbuilders.
This undersea tourism facility based on submarines will be the first of its kind in India. The current plan is for the government to operationalize the project by October 2024, just in time for Diwali.
