Above all, with 4 modes of transport, excellent rail network with world class stations, broad, well paved, tree-lined roads with dozens of flyovers and interchanges, and the upcoming air and water transport infrastructure, distance here can be calculated in minutes, not in hours as in other Indian metros. What New Jersey is to New York, what Downtown is to Dubai. Navi Mumbai will be to Mumbai, it is where people would like to settle and have a great life.
Secondly, land availability and an aggressive CIDCO are both pushing growth in Navi Mumbai. Even as the Ministry of Environment and Forests cleared the much-delayed Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, under its smart city mission, the town planning authority is developing Panvel, Kharghar, Ulwe, Dronagiri, Kalamboli, Kamothe and a Greenfield project Pushpak Nagar.
@Rishi Dev, Apart from that, Youngsters from all over India with a growing income are moving to Navi Mumbai. They do not need to stay in South Mumbai or even western suburbs, as every possible need is being fulfilled here.
On the other hand, high-end connectivity can ensure that a Navi Mumbai resident would be able to reach any part of Mumbai within 30 minutes, and this is a game changer. Youngsters here would have the option to go to South Mumbai or go to Lonavala for a drink within 40 mins.
Yes, the place is vibrating with youth, and its character is very cosmopolitan. The city is characterised by top notch hospitals, educational institutions, an IT hub, a massive exhibition centre, malls, big railway stations, wide roads and unrestricted power and water supply.
It is quite true...... The reason is, the biggest infrastructure boom in the whole country, which is happening at a cost of around Rs 53000 crore. This infrastructure boom is expected to create over 8.7 lakh jobs. This includes the new airport, the expansion of the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, a metro project, affordable housing, highway expansions and the crucial Navi Mumbai Airport Influenced Notified Area, all spread over 1200 hectares.
