World Class Megacities In India - Khargar And Panvel In Navi Mumbai
by Athanasius Alex SEONavi Mumbai is being developed taking
lessons from the past. CIDCO (City and Industrial development Corporation of
Maharashtra Ltd.) is developing Navi Mumbai such that the new townships should
not suffer the pain of poor roads, blocked drains etc. CIDCO is developing Navi
Mumbai with an ambition to make win it a place among one of the best cities to live in the world. Navi Mumbai ranges from Vashi to Kalamboli. CIDCO
developed two great townships in Navi Mumbai. One is Khargar and the other is
Panvel. These two townships have changed the way we have been looking at
infrastructure sector.
New Panvel is ideally located on the
east of Mumbai-Bangalore National Highway and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. This
connects New Panvel with the rest of India very well via road. Also Panvel is
one of the most important junctions of the Konkan railway which connects it
with other parts of the country via railways as well. There is an international
airport proposed in Navi Mumbai, very close to Panvel. Panvel also has several
industries surrounding it. Industry giants like L&T, Reliance, ONGC, IPCL
etc. are located here. The strategic location, excellent connectivity and
multiple industries have made Panvelto be shortlisted for development. Panvel development has been carried out
by CIDCO very carefully. There are big builders & constructors building
world class infrastructure. The residential complexes not only have budget
homes, there are even luxury apartments. Additionally, there are several
commercial spots as well to fulfill the needs of the residents here and also
schools, colleges and hospitals. Panvel development was broadcasted on Nat
Geo’s “Super Cities of the World” series.
Another CIDCO dream project is Khargar development. Khargar is located
on the SionPanvel Highway at a short driving distance from Mumbai. Khargar has
multiple ready to go residential apartments as well as commercial hubs. CIDCO
divided Khargar in 45 sectors and developing them strategically. While Panvel
has lots of industries around the city.Khargar is developed with beauty. It has
a golf course with a central park in opposite. Once completed this park will
have jogging track, food courts, fountains etc. ISKCON is also building biggest
ISKCON temple in India in Khargar. UtsavChowk is another park in Khargar. It
looks very beautiful when illuminated at night. CIDCO also developed a skywalk
in Khargar to connect the city and the railway station. It is 1780 meter long
making it the longest skywalk in India made yet. Khargar also has esteemed education
centres and medical institutions. National Institute of Fashion Technology
(NIFT) is there, Tata Memorial Hospital is there as well.
The development of these two cities are the most ambitious projects of CIDCO in
Navi Mumbai. These townships are developed keeping all the things in one place
and yet developing the townships in an eco-friendly way. CIDCO is not
developing a concrete jungle as it is in Delhi NCR, rather it has left very
much open area and also connecting the cities very well with the other parts of
the country.
