ASK Property Fund, part of ASK Asset & Wealth Management Group, invested ₹210 crore in Gami Group projects in CBD Belapur and Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai. This marks ASK's initial foray into the Navi Mumbai market. The CBD Belapur project spans two acres and will offer 2-BHK and 3-BHK configurations. ASK recently invested ₹340 crore in three residential projects of Mantra Group: one in JVLR Mumbai and two in Pune's Wakad and Mundhwa. Bhavin Jain, CIO of ASK Property Fund, stated the investment signifies momentum in Navi Mumbai due to significant infrastructure upgrades.

Navi Mumbai's real estate market has evolved since the 1970s into a thriving property market with planned infrastructure and affordable living, but has not matched Mumbai's scale or pricing momentum. The inauguration of Navi Mumbai International Airport's first phase in Ulwe is expected to reshape property values across the region.

Land prices have surged in recent years. Panvel's average plotted land rates rose 93% between 2020-21 and 2024-25 to ₹80,000-85,000 per square yard. Other parts of Navi Mumbai saw plot prices at ₹1,10,000-1,30,000 per square yard, growing 58% over the same period. Areas such as Ulwe, Panvel, Taloja, and Kharghar have seen significant increases.

Many leading builders have acquired large land parcels or developed township projects. Bengaluru-based Prestige Group and Adani Realty (planning a 1,000-acre township) are scouting for land in the region. Navi Mumbai has historically been dominated by regional developers.

A proposed aerocity spanning 667 acres adjacent to the airport will feature residential, commercial and office development. The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has yet to finalize the master plan; a consultant will soon be appointed.

Navi Mumbai's office market remains small compared to Mumbai but has cost advantages. Beyond residential and office, the region has emerged as a significant data centre hub. Lumina CloudInfra (Blackstone Group) has two sites with 180MW underway. CapitaLand Investment launched its first data centre in August. Navi Mumbai is also developing as a logistics and industrial real estate centre; international players like Ascendas Firstspace have logistics parks in Panvel.

Prime Minister Modi inaugurated ISKCON temple in Kharghar on January 15, 2025. Navi Mumbai comprises Kharghar, Vashi, Sanpada, Jui Nagar, Belapur, Kamothe, Nerul and other areas.

Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA): Expected operational by mid-2025. Will increase economic activity in Navi Mumbai, Karjat, Khopoli, Uran and Raigad district. Expected to drive demand for housing and commercial office spaces.

International Corporate Park (ICP), Kharghar: CIDCO developing commercial hub 14 km from airport. 375 acres, will include corporate offices, amusement and internet facilities, convention centres, hospitals. Planned for completion in 5–6 years. Bids for compound wall construction floated September 2023.

Atal Setu: 22 km sea link connecting Mumbai and Navi Mumbai reduced travel time to South Mumbai. Increased property prices in Ulwe, Uran, Dronagiri. Prices in Ulwe and Dronagiri rose from ₹6,000–₹7,000 per sq ft to over ₹10,000 per sq ft; premium Atal Setu-facing projects in Ulwe now over ₹12,000 per sq ft.

Regional impact: Navi Mumbai Airport expected to benefit Pune real estate, particularly west Pune areas (Hinjewadi, Wakad, Pimple Saudagar) along Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
