Factors for Growth in the Past

Until a few decades ago, Old Panvel was known to be more of a retreat and a destination for second homes. However, due to the development in infrastructure and inflow of people from other parts of the city, New Panvel has transformed into a first home destination. The greenery surrounding the locality is one of the biggest reasons why New Panvel became one of the most sought-after residential localities in Navi Mumbai. State-of-the-art infrastructure, wide roads and basic amenities like sewerage, water, and drainage also impelled new Panvel’s growth in the past.

Residential & Commercial Markets

Residential Market Trends

The majority of the residential properties in New Panvel are apartment projects.The locality is seeing a huge rise in the number of premium residential projects due to the increase in the NRI population, and also from people relocating from neighbouring cities like Pune. The price of apartments in New Panvel has risen significantly over the last five years. The Q1 (2014) prices for apartments in New Panvel range between Rs 4,600 per sq. ft. and Rs 6,000 per sq. ft., while the rent for an apartment ranges between Rs 10 per sq. ft. and Rs 13 per sq. ft.

Major Challenges

New Panvel is facing a serious drinking water crisis. Residents in the locality do not get 24x7 supply of water as promised by CIDCO. The water shortage is mainly attributed to the population explosion in the area, and lack of water tanks. Mosquito menace is also becoming a huge issue in this part of the city because of the open drains and ponds.

Factors for Growth in the Future

Over the decade, the real estate market in New Panvel has shown resilience. The locality is all set to become a major IT hub, dotted with several IT parks. The Panvel Mega City project, a highly ambitious project implemented by MMRDA, will comprise three parts, namely Energy City, Information Technology and Telecom City, and Entertainment City. The project is expected to create employment opportunities to about 8 lakh people, and is expected to be ready by 2020. The establishment of the Navi Mumbai airport near New Panvel will turn out to be a key growth factor for the locality. Another key factor will be the proposed Navi Mumbai Metro Rail, which will reduce travel time of commuters, and increase connectivity between the various nodes of Navi Mumbai.
