When you talk about Panvel and its meteoric rise, one saying rings true- the sky is the limit. And we’re not just saying that because of the Navi Mumbai International Airport.
Panvel is as close as you can get to the perfect package. Connected to nature, yet modern and urban. One of Panvel’s greatest advantages is its unrivalled connectivity. By land, air or sea Panvel has it covered.
Existing Infrastructure
- The Sion-Panvel Highway, Mumbai-Pune Expressway and NH-66 all provide great road connectivity to Panvel. And the Atal Setu, also known as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) garners all the attention as it is India’s longest sea bridge. Connecting Navi Mumbai to South Mumbai, it has reduced what used to be a two-hour journey to 20 minutes.
- The Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) increases Panvel’s reach to the rest of the globe and makes Panvel a hub for international business and tourism alike. And where an airport starts, an infrastructure boom soon follows.
- The Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) is India’s largest container port that manages more than half of India’s total container cargo. It is a major key to international trade and logistics.
- Besides this, Panvel is also very well connected to the suburban railway network. And to the Konkan railway route.
Planned Infrastructure
Given the increasing importance of Panvel as a connectivity hub, several planned infrastructure projects are already underway to make sure Panvel can keep up with the rising demand.
- The Panvel-Karjat suburban railway corridor is a 29 km, five station, double-line route that will link Panvel and Karjat.
- The Navi Mumbai International Airport will see further phases that will increase its operational capacity for both passengers and cargo.
- Panvel-Indapur highway stretch is undergoing four-laning in two phases from Panvel-Kasu-and Kasu-Indapur that will increase the capacity and reduce the time taken to cover the stretch.
- The Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) is a CIDCO planned urban development zone in the Raigad district being developed with the vision of being “Third Mumbai”. There is a strong focus on business, industrial and residential zones along with adequate green spaces.
- The Navi Mumbai Metro Phase 1 from Belapur to Pendhar is operational and metro extensions towards Panvel are planned in the future. This will further improve connectivity options.
- The JNPA SEZ (Special Economic Zone) is undergoing further expansion which will boost trade and development. The JNPA is also developing a deep sea port at Vadhvan.
Advantages of Planned Infrastructure
These planned infrastructure projects are reshaping Panvel’s economic landscape. There are several advantages to this well-planned infrastructure development.
Unmatched connectivity
Panvel is very well connected by road and railway networks to the rest of Mumbai and India. With the International Airport, it is now connected to the world. This better connectivity means faster commutes, greater international exposure and better quality of life.

Panvel isn’t just potential anymore, it’s the real deal.

And a huge number of township projects in Panvel take careful consideration to ensure they provide an exquisite living experience.
