Effects of Infrastructural Development on Real Estate in Mumbai Effects of Infrastructural Development on Real Estate in Mumbai 1 Mumbai Trans Harbour Link The story so far... Source: MMRDA Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), also known as the Sewri-Nhava Sheva Trans-Harbour Link, is a proposed 22.5 km long freeway grade road bridge planned to help decongest the island city of Mumbai by improving connectivity with Navi Mumbai, its satellite city. It will connect the city's eastern suburbs with the mainland across the harbour, via a 16.5 km sea bridge and a viaduct. This project also envisions the development of Navi Mumbai as a commercial region. The project completion deadline has been set at 2019. MTHL will connect Sewri in central-east Mumbai with Nhava Sheva across the harbour which is close to the country's largest container port JNPT. The bridge will begin in Sewri, South Mumbai and cross Thane Creek north of Elephanta Island and will terminate at Chirle village, near Nhava Sheva. At a later date, the bridge will also be linked to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and Mumbai-Goa Highway reducing the travel time to Pune, Goa and Panvel by 1 hour. The link will also help increase connectivity to the proposed Navi Mumbai international airport. What next? The biggest landmark for this project was when Prime Minister Modi laid the foundation of this sea link on December 24, 2017. This together with the in-principle approval to fund 80 percent of the cost of the project by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has given a much needed impetus to the project. MMRDA will open the pre-qualification bids for the project very soon with work expected to start after monsoons in 2017. 2 What this means for residential real estate? Once operational, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) will serve as an economic gateway to Navi Mumbai and provide a long term solution to the housing scarcity facing the millennium city. With travel time decreasing drastically to around 25 minutes from South Mumbai, Navi Mumbai has the potential of emerging as a satellite city similar to NOIDA and Gurugram. This link will be vital in connecting South Mumbai to the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. With tracts of land opening up and connectivity to South Mumbai increasing, commercial development is expected boom. While buying a house people look at 2 main things – convenience and location. Navi Mumbai will provide both - at a fraction of the price of South Mumbai or the Western Suburbs. Areas in Navi Mumbai, such as Panvel, Ulwe, Vashi and Dronagiri have already started witnessing real estate development by well-established developers like Godrej Properties, Kalpatru and Arihant Group due to their closeness to MTHL. 3 Navi Mumbai International Airport The story so far... Like the roads of Mumbai, Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport too is congested and its capacity is nearly saturated. A second airport is critical for maintaining Maharashtra’s leadership in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and cementing Mumbai’s position as a financial capital. Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), the proposed international airport, is to be built in the Kopar-Panvel area of Navi Mumbai. City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) is the nodal agency for the project, which will be built through public-private (PPP) on a 'design, build, finance, operate and transfer' (DBFOT) basis. Ln July 2016, the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) gave the crucial Stage-II forest and wildlife clearance to the NMIA project. With this, Cidco has got all the necessary clearances for the 16,000 crore project and hopes to commission the first phase by December 2019, with annual passenger handling capacity of 10 million. 4 What next? The last date of submission of bids was January 9, 2017 but the government has extended the time period by 2 months as 3 of the 4 companies shortlisted to build the airport have pulled out citing various reasons. What this means for residential real estate? If construction does start by the end of 2017 as planned, NMIA will open up job opportunities for people living in Navi Mumbai as corporates open up offices thereby fuelling the realty market and turning the city into an economic hotspot and a true satellite city of Mumbai. 5 Flyovers at Kalanagar Junction and Kurla-Vakola Elevated Road The story so far... PM Modi recently laid the foundation stones for two flyovers at Kalanagar Junction, Bandra – one leading towards Sea Link and the other approaching Bandra-Kurla Complex – both a part of the Kalanagar remodeling project. This gives a much needed push to ease the congestion around BKC as these flyovers are expected to provide seamless connectivity to the Complex as also to reduce traffic congestion in the Complex. The 5-km long elevated road from Kurla to Vakola near Western Express Highway – an extension to Santacruz-Chembur Link Road – will not only provide better connectivity to the Bandra-Kurla Complex but also will decongest the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road junction at Ahmed Raza Chowk on CST Road. What this means for residential real estate? As with any other transportation infrastructure upgrade, the construction of the Kalanagar flyover and the Kurla-Vakola elevated road will have a positive impact on the value of homes benefiting from these. The significant reduction in commuting time to and from BKC will see a surge in developer interest in Sion, Kurla, Vidyavihar and Chembur. In fact, Chembur’s property prices have already seen a major rise due to the cumulative effect of mega-projects like the Eastern Freeway, Monorail, and Metro. Meanwhile, demand for properties in Bandra-Kurla Complex, its adjoining areas and Chembur-Sion-Trombay Road is already rising and will rise further with these once these projects are complete. Reduced traffic congestions at Amar Mahal Junction in Chembur, Vakola in Santacruz, and parts of Sion and Kurla will increase the livability quotient of these areas and boost demand for residential as well as commercial real estate. 6 .

  • Present Status of Mangrove Ecosystem in and Around Mumbai (West Coast of India)
    Present status of mangrove ecosystem in and around Mumbai (West Coast of India) B.G. Kulkarni1, A. Babar1, A. Jaiswar2 & B. Desai-Chavan1 1Department of Biological Oceanography, The Institute of Science, Mumbai 400 032, India. E-mail: [email protected] 2Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Versova, Andheri, Mumbai 400 062, India. Abstract Mumbai is one of the metropolitan of India located on western coast at 180 53’ north to 190 16’north latitude and from 720 E to 720 59 E longitude. Mumbai endowed with coast line of 100km which is intended with creek and estuaries. Once upon a time plentiful density and diversity of Mangroves was present on most of the coastal area of Mumbai. At present patches of mangroves exist at Mahim and Gorai creek, and at coastal belt of Versova, Sewri, Colaba, and Bandra. Moderate mangrove patches are also present around Mumbai in coastal areas of Elephanta Island, Uran, Vashi, Vasai, Thane and Bhyander creeks. Although 15 species of mangroves identified in and around Mumbai, most of the coastal areas harbor Avicennia marina. It has been noticed A. marina tolerate polluted coastal water at Mahim creek and other coastal zones in Mumbai. Due to heavy development of housing construction, most of the mangrove density in and around Mumbai is reducing day by day. Recent oil spill incidences in coastal waters of Mumbai found to damage the mangrove ecosystem. In marshy areas of Sewri, Elephanta Island and Vashi heavy coasting of oil on leaves and lower part of mangrove tree is recorded. Further, young mangrove trees found dead at some of these areas.

  • Study of Housing Typologies in Mumbai
    HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 1 Research Team Prasad Shetty Rupali Gupte Ritesh Patil Aparna Parikh Neha Sabnis Benita Menezes CRIT would like to thank the Urban Age Programme, London School of Economics for providing financial support for this project. CRIT would also like to thank Yogita Lokhande, Chitra Venkatramani and Ubaid Ansari for their contributions in this project. Front Cover: Street in Fanaswadi, Inner City Area of Mumbai 2 Study of House Types in Mumbai As any other urban area with a dense history, Mumbai has several kinds of house types developed over various stages of its history. However, unlike in the case of many other cities all over the world, each one of its residences is invariably occupied by the city dwellers of this metropolis. Nothing is wasted or abandoned as old, unfitting, or dilapidated in this colossal economy. The housing condition of today’s Mumbai can be discussed through its various kinds of housing types, which form a bulk of the city’s lived spaces This study is intended towards making a compilation of house types in (and wherever relevant; around) Mumbai. House Type here means a generic representative form that helps in conceptualising all the houses that such a form represents. It is not a specific design executed by any important architect, which would be a-typical or unique. It is a form that is generated in a specific cultural epoch/condition. This generic ‘type’ can further have several variations and could be interestingly designed /interpreted / transformed by architects.
