The remarks by the CM come even as the controversy over providing the land to the Railways for setting up a bullet train terminal at the same location in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) is yet to be resolved.
Fadnavis said two task forces have already been formed to devise the final contours of IFC.
"As of now we are at a stage of appointing a consultant who would plan this entire area (BKC)," Fadnavis told reporters here today on the closing day at the Make in India (MII) Week.
Earlier this week, the Railways had said it was in talks with the Maharashtra government on the issue of land allocation for the proposed Rs 98,000 crore Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train terminal at BKC, even as the state had earlier ruled out the possibility.

The land where the Indian Railways had proposed the station is the same place where the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is planning to develop the IFC.
"One is working on the technicalities where in people from financial sector like RBI, SBI chairman are involved. The other task force which is under MoS Finance which is looking in to the legal framework," he said.
The Chief Minister further said he has spoken to Railway Board Chairman A K Mittal regarding the issue of the terminal.
Mittal had said the state government hadn't refused the
possibility of the terminal on the BKC land parcel.
"Discussions are going on with the Maharashtra government and nothing has been finalised on the same. Design of the proposed terminal will be an underground station, 3 levels below the ground level and the above space is available for the centre," Mittal had earlier said during the MII Week.
