During his tenure as the Chief Secretary, Banthia activated the Mumbai First group, a [[Public–private partnership|PPP]] involving the leading Corporates of Mumbai and the Govt. of Maharashtra / Govt. of India officials, for revival/ pushing through several innovative infra-structure projects of water ways, Metro and Mono Rail, New Railway Stations, resolution of pending infrastructure projects, etc.

== Post retirement ==
Banthia was a part of the [[Line 1 (Mumbai Metro)|Mumbai Metro]] fare fixation committee, formed to resolve a dispute over metro fare between the government and its private partner in the project - [[Mumbai Metro One Private Limited|MMOPL]]. Other members of the committee included Retired Justice E Padmanabhan and former law secretary T K Vishwanathan.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Fare-panel-formed-for-Mumbais-first-Metro/articleshow/46569544.cms|title=Fare panel formed for Mumbai's first Metro - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-04-25}}</ref> While the other two members supported price hike, Banthia issued a dissent note, citing the following: "...the existing rules to guide the FFC to enable it to fix the fare... have not been clearly spelt out so far, specially for a PPP project. This has proved to be a major challenge and constraint for the FFC. It is suggested that this aspect be dealt (with) by Government of India, at the earliest, specially for PPP metro projects, since affordability and reasonability of fare structure will be the essence for the common public at large (sic)," "The very applicability of the provisions of Fare Fixation in this case did not arise, since it was a PPP project, whose pre-bid parameters were already decided and frozen in terms of fare structure and service levels… This action, however, does not alter the BASIC and FUNDAMENTAL NATURE of the PARAMETERS, which were conditions precedent to the bidding process and inherent part of the bid document for the proposed execution of the Mumbai Metro Project. (sic)."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.railnews.in/2015/page/10/|title=2015 – Page 10 – RailNews Media India Ltd|website=www.railnews.in|language=en-US|access-date=2018-04-25}}</ref>
