From Maharashtra, Water Resources Minister Jayant Patil, Devendra Fadnavis, Leader of Opposition, and other senior leaders from Pune were present. JAIKA, a financial company of Japan, has agreed to finance the project and now, State Government has to accord sanction to the river rejuvenation plan. Post all clearance, the project would be sent to National River Consultation Department, which is going to appoint the Project Management Consultant (PMC) for the river rejuvenation project.

While total cost of Pune project is pegged at Rs 1,200 crore that of Nag River is estimated to cost Rs 1,700 crore.
