The operational status of the Atal Setu and the impending completion of the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) are pivotal factors driving this increased demand for residential and commercial properties. Our data indicates a 35% YoY increase in registered residential transactions in Q4 (October-December) 2024, with key nodes like Kharghar, Vashi, Belapur CBD, and Panvel leading the charge. Developers are actively expanding their footprint, launching large-scale projects, and recent land transactions underscore their confidence in the region’s growth potential. The combination of connectivity augmentation and upcoming commercial developments is anticipated to create a dynamic environment conducive to real estate growth across various asset classes.”

This development is expected to enhance Kharghar’s appeal, stimulating economic activity.
