Thane

Thane was formerly known and referred to as Thana and was a “sleepy” twin city of Mumbai a few decades ago. It was definitely not in the real estate investment radar or property investment plans of most Mumbaikars. However it has grown by leaps and bounds becoming one of the most growing metro cities in Maharashtra and India, today.


Thane real estate growth


If you turn the pages before the year 1999, Thane real estate was primarily classified as a sector for lower middle class and lower income group families. Many property buyers in Thane those days were investors from Mumbai who were looking for cheap second homes not very far from Mumbai.  But after 1999 when Mumbai witnessed some crazy real estate growth and property prices in Mumbai became highly unaffordable, many Mumbai residents shifted their focus to Thane. Locations in Thane like Ghodbunder Road,  Majiwada, Vartak Nagar, Pokharan road, Kasarvadavali and others suddenly gathered a lot of attention.

Being in close proximity to Mumbai city with multiple connecting points and also being part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Thane is now the top most real estate investment locations in Mumbai and for Mumbai property buyers.

One of the most important reasons for the growth and increasing popularity of Thane real estate is the fact that one can get good properties in Thane at a much lower price than in Mumbai. Many residents from Mumbai who had been living in match box sized homes all their lives have found their greatest real estate solace in Thane. It has everything that Mumbai has plus it close to Mumbai and it is affordable. When property buyers can easily find affordable homes in Thane and also budget properties in Thane, it is no surprise that Thane is one of the best places for property investments in Mumbai.

One quick glance at Thane real estate market report in the recent years in comparison with the Mumbai real estate market report helps one easily understand the overwhelming lead that Thane enjoys in terms of property units sold.

Even for an average property investor, the Thane real estate price trends are encouraging and the profit a property investor in Thane has made compared to Mumbai is higher. One of the key reasons is the fact that the investment entry point in Thane is pegged much lower than Mumbai.

We will also try to understand the future of Thane city with regards to the infrastructure and other urban planning taking shape there. Also by carefully sifting through Thane real estate market news across various reliable real estate sources, we will try to unravel the further potential of property investment in Thane.

In the following section let us try to understand what factors have swung the real estate scenario in Thane and kept the Thane property rates moving positively.


Thane Infrastructure:

Massive and constant planned infrastructure development over the past few decades in Thane has ensured that this city has shone as one of the brightest starts in the state of Maharashtra. The phenomenal numbers of education institutions, malls, world class health-care facilities, major hospitals are all testimony to the progress Thane has made as a location.  With major connecting roads like the Thane-Ghodbunder Freeway, other huge roads and ease in connectivity confirm that Thane is actually a very smart city in terms of the facilities it provides to its residents. The state government of Maharashtra has recently given its nod for a twenty nine km Metro line for this city and this would definitely stimulate the Thane growth story and also improve its impressive connectivity further.  In terms of the impact of the combination of good road connectivity and the added metro connectivity, real estate market in Thane is set to mature further.

With its robust train connectivity and good road transportation, Thane real estate has managed to grow rapidly. With the proposed ambitious Bullet Train project, the daily commute for the huge number of office goers from Thane to Mumbai is slated to become super easy too. This would definitely encourage more Mumbai residents to invest in Thane homes and also shift their base permanently to Thane.

As per initial planning, the Thane Metro is slated to have 22 halts. Commencing from New Thane Metro station in the old city area it shall be connected to Wadala-Kasarvadavli Metro at two points which would be ‘New Thane station’ and a station called ‘Dongripada’. There would be a link to Thane-Bhiwandi- Kalyan Metro Line-5 at Majiwada junction. A whopping half a million plus commuters are estimated to utilize the Thane metro daily and a major portion of the Thane metro network would be empowered using solar energy.

At a cost of almost Rs. 13 thousand crores and an estimated time span of four years, the 29 km Thane Metro project with a partial underground portion is surely going to be gigantic booster for the Thane real estate sector as a whole. It would bear a huge impact on the quality of life of Thane residents and also open of new avenues for growth in Thane.

There are multiple nodes of Navi Mumbai but as discussed Kharghar has definitely grown into the most advanced and commercialized one today. The fact that the site of the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport is hardly 10-12 kms from Kharghar suggests the importance of this location. The entire region of Navi Mumbai including Kharghar has been developed by CIDCO (The City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd).

This particular project which has been acknowledged as brilliant step from CIDCO as well as the State government will be a game changer for Navi Mumbai blurring the distinction between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai forever.

The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) by MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority.) which is proposed to join Sewri in South-central Mumbai to Nhava Sheva in Navi Mumbai is an infrastructure project that has already made giant strides and is expected to be complete soon. All these factors point to the fact that the Kharghar real estate growth story is going to be phenomenal.

Panvel real estate market is growing from strength to strength as it has a plethora of public facilities, sound infrastructure, amazing property developments, amenities, huge tracts of land for further planned development, great resources and a significant advantage in terms of pre development in comparison to other Navi Mumbai locations. 
Panvel is probably the biggest real estate market in Navi Mumbai in terms of property transactions both in the primary and secondary housing market in Navi Mumbai along with Kharghar.

The past half a decade or so has seen a healthy surge in the Navi Mumbai real estate market and specifically in the Panvel real estate market since there has been a spike in property buying here from middle aged and young property buyers from Mumbai, Thane and other parts of Navi Mumbai.  Being highly convenient in terms of road and rail connectivity, Panvel is also blessed with a fantastic leafy environment and a picturesque natural landscape.

Panvel – a robust infrastructure & seamless connectivity

When you talk about Navi Mumbai, the first location that actually set the benchmark for others has been Panvel. The planned infrastructure development in Panvel due to the fact that Navi Mumbai was always a planned city has helped it become a real estate destination on its own and the Panvel development plan 2020 & beyond will only take this destination further & higher in the real estate realms of India.
If you were to check on any piece of Navi Mumbai real estate news you will invariably find Panvel featured there. Panvel offers great connectivity via road & rail to multiple locations including western Suburbs of Mumbai, South of Mumbai, Pune and of course to other important places in Panvel like Kharghar, Vashi, CBD Belapur, etc. Of course if you want to travel to the Konkan territory, Panvel is the best point to go through from. The extremely popular Mumbai-Pune Express way that is widely used by road travelers from Mumbai & Pune is very close to Panvel along with the Sion-Panvel highway making Panvel a connectivity hub with some major wide roads for easy travel. The golden rule in real estate is location & connectivity and Panvel scores heavily in both departments. Due to its strategic location within Navi Mumbai, Panvel features prominently in most of the upcoming infrastructure projects in Navi Mumbai and this factor makes Panvel an extremely important real estate & property investment place in Mumbai in 2020 and further.

A few of the major & upcoming infrastructure developments in Panvel include the ambitious Mumbai Trans-Harbour Sea Link (apparently this would be the longest sea link when it comes into existence). It is a no-brainer that the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Sea Link will improve connectivity to and from Panvel / Navi Mumbai greatly & take it multiple notches higher, surely. The second major infra update in terms of connectivity for Panvel happens to be the much anticipated Virar-Alibaug Multimodal Corridor (also referred to as VAMC). Approximately going to be around one hundred and forty kms in length, VAMC is technically designed as a two part road. The first part is around ninety kms from Virar to Panvel and the other part of the road is around fifty 50 kms and would run from Panvel to Alibaug. VAMC is touted as another game changer for Navi Mumbai road connectivity as a whole and more specifically for Panvel connectivity to the rest of the locations. VAMC which is almost an INR Hundred billion infra project would hive off a major chunk of travelling time for commuters and it would be a breeze to reach Alibaug from Panvel after it is completed.  Of course with the addition of such major infra projects Panvel will further cement its place as a mature and developed location both in terms of actual living as well as for property investment and growth.

Panvel is now also very strongly present on the radar of home buyers and property investors from the western suburbs of Mumbai. This has happened because of the direct Goregaon-Panvel local train which is a boon to travelers from these parts of Mumbai. In fact after the successful launch of the direct train from Goregaon to Panvel, the property investments in Panvel and Navi Mumbai have highly increased with the middle class Mumbaikars contributing heavily towards this cause. As we approach the new year, Panvel is set to be a deserving contender in the list of top and best places to invest in Mumbai 2020.

Panvel future development & growth trigger factors

MUTP-3 – the biggest boost that could trigger a windfall gain for Panvel real estate as well as for real estate across Navi Mumbai.
There are routine infrastructure developemnts and then there are some that are gigantic turning a location into a goldmine for decades and centuries to come. Well the almost INR 11,000 crore Mumbai Urban Transport Project-3 (MUTP-3) which has already been green flagged by the Central government  is on its way to revolutionize suburban railway connectivity in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and the connectivity of Panvel and Navi Mumbai to a host of far flung locations.
As per reports that emerged during the early part of 2019, the railway authorities and the state government have apparently began doing the initial work of identifying and aggregating land needed for the MUTP-3 project and it is believed to be close to 156 hectares.
The MUTP-3 project involves the two fold increase of the railway line between Panvel and Karjat stations along with the implementation of two additional railway lines between Virar and Dahanu. Apart from these this mega project will also add a raised corridor between Airoli and Kalwa railway stations that would help commuters travel more fluently and easily.
As a matter of information MUTP-3 is a venture by The Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) which is a joint venture of the Maharsahtra state government and Indian Railways.
Once the project is complete, millions of rail travelers can simply travel directly from Panvel and Karjat railway stations using local trains and avoid the inconvenience of switching trains at Thane station which is the case as of today. All rail commuters in this sector have to compulsorily change from the Central Railway’s (CR) main railway line to the Thane-Vashi trans-harbour railway line which is a big discomfort both in terms of time taken as well as in terms of ease of travel.

Ask any lower middle class or middle class person in Mumbai (almost 95% of the population) and they will happily accept with both hands even the minutest upgrade in the railway services. And MUTP-3 is definitely the mother of all gifts that the administration can offer to the millions of train commuters on this sector.
As of now all outstation and goods trains between Virar and Dahanu run on the same railway line burdening the system and making it less efficient. The introduction of extra railway lines between these stations would result in a bifurcation between the local trains and the outstation trains. This would surely increase efficiency, boost performance making all the trains running on these lines more punctual and travel friendly. 

All the officials concerned with this mega railway upgrade project and the state government of Maharashtra, are looking at completing this project within a period of 3 years which makes it an extremely exciting period for real estate investors in Navi Mumbai. Many real estate developers and property buyers are already extremely active in the Panvel-Karjat belt.

Chikhale, Mohape and Chowk are the three stations that separate Panvel and Karjat. All these 3 micro locations are extremely affordable housing investment options in Navi Mumbai but hold extremely good potential of zooming up the property price chart in the coming months and years, especially due to the MUTP-3 factor.
In fact there has been a marked increase in plots for sale in Karjat with land investors as well as small and medium sized property developers across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai buying land in and around Karjat as the anticipation of a seamless rail connection is palpable indeed. In terms of Karjat real estate growth or increase in property rates of Panvel & all micro locations in this belt, the time has just begun.

Another real estate growth trigger factor for Panvel has been its capacity to attract talented and skilled personnel with the plethora of job opportunities that it provides. Panvel is a commercial market place of Navi Mumbai and there are thousands of companies – big and small as well corporate entities that have a strong presence in Panvel. Commercial real estate in Panvel as well as Corporate leasing in Panvel have been very healthy over the past many years with visible signs of further growth. With a wide variety of job options available in Panvel with the best of companies, it is no wonder that many families have shifted here bag and baggage and that has only added to the Panvel real estate growth story.

The fact that in terms of real estate related developments, the construction of SEZs (special economic zones) will attract hordes of other national and multi-national companies to Panvel and create thousands of well-paying jobs has also contributed towards the increase of real estate investment potential of Panvel. The migration of thousands of families to Panvel for jobs would naturally result in a huge demand for residential housing in Panvel. With the potential to offer thousands of affordable and budget homes in Navi Mumbai, Panvel real estate investment 2020 seems to be a very positive story indeed.
