Quick peek into the History of our planned city.

In the late 1960’s a civil engineer - Adi Kanga, and some of his friends bemoaned that their city the bustling Bombay, was getting overpopulated. Being the commercial capital of India it was attracting a large number of citizens, which the available infrastructure could not cope with. So they came up with the concept of building a new city as in a New Bombay across the seven islands of the old city.

Navi Mumbai was legibly added as the last mega settlement zone of the MMR region in ‘70s. Other cities and conurbations already existed prior to the creation of this planned satellite city. Today, Navi Mumbai’s success as a city is vouchsafed by its own tremendous growth over time. In a span of four decades, it has not only caught up with the existing settlements but has also become the second-largest settlement city within MMR in terms of population share. In the last decade (2009-2019) Navi Mumbai has grown at an incredible speed with 88% being the highest growth rate in the region.

Even though its growth rate is high and the population size is burgeoning, the population density in Navi Mumbai is just about one third of the density of the Greater Mumbai, while it is the lowest among all the other cities in the MMR region. This is one of Navi Mumbai’s key defining aspects and its biggest USP in a real estate market and also cannot forget to mention the quality of life, available in this city.


Shoulder to Mumbai.

The real estate prices shooting up in Mumbai, has a cause effect of a not so surprising fact that some of the demand has been shifted to the more affordable township of Navi Mumbai. It could be said that it is the next best option to Mumbai, as it is developing rapidly as a commercial and urban area. The township appears to be the preferred location of new immigrants in search of work. It has relieved Mumbai of much of its population-related pressures over the past few years by drawing crowds to its affordable neighbourhoods.

The cost of a 2 BHK apartment in a well-developed neighbourhood in Navi Mumbai could cost between INR 50 -75 lakhs, while a similar property in interior Mumbai could cost twice as much. However the prices have only been seeing a rise since 2015 and up till 2019.


Development (CIDCO)

The City and Industrial Development Corporation’s (CIDCO) recent decision to convert 875 acres of land, which was earlier reserved for government projects, into residential plots in Navi Mumbai, is one of the main factors for the township’s new-found popularity. The privatization of the land has led to its development as a residential area over the past few years.
