A real estate sales workshop led by trainer Abhijit Chandra is scheduled for September 26 in CBD Belapur. It will focus on modern property sales techniques, advanced negotiation skills and client management strategies.

Around 200 citizens formed a third human chain on Belapur hills to flag the risk of an Ishlawati-type landslide and demand immediate action. Activists allege a demolition drive launched during the July 2024 monsoon was halted midway because of landslide fears.

The Maharashtra Maritime Board has invited private operators to develop and operate three floatels near the tourism jetty in Sector 15, Belapur, Navi Mumbai. The facilities may offer dining, accommodation, recreation, entertainment and other tourism services, subject to statutory approvals and maritime safety requirements. They will be anchored at board-approved locations, with tender boats transferring visitors between shore and the floatels. The jetty will serve passengers and transport supplies and equipment.

The selected operator must finance, design, develop, deploy and commission the facilities, secure approvals, meet maritime, environmental and safety rules, manage transfers and maintain the floatels and related assets. It must also fund temporary landside facilities, including ticket counters.

Mumbai’s AB Celestial shut in April 2021 amid the pandemic and coastal road construction; Ark Deck Bar capsized in May 2018. Queensline Sea-Yah and Neverland opened near the Gateway of India, while another restaurant was planned near Girgaum Chowpatty. Floating restaurants closed during Covid-19 lockdowns have not reopened. A proposed offshore floatel near Nariman Point received a coastal authority recommendation for clearance in June 2026.

Roads, bridges and signal systems connecting Navi Mumbai International Airport with Belapur, Ulwe, Panvel, Khandeshwar, Karnjade and Kalamboli are complete but await inauguration, leaving passengers and freight vehicles without the planned access routes. The package is valued at ₹813 crore.

A key link will connect Kalamboli Junction to National Highway 548 and the airport cargo entrance, allowing containers from Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) to reach airport cargo facilities directly. The report describes it as Maharashtra’s first direct container link to an airport cargo entrance.

The National Highways Authority of India’s eastern interchange will connect to CIDCO’s SBR-9 route and the airport’s northern road network. CIDCO spent ₹191 crore on a 60-metre-wide bridge connecting the cargo entrance. Once opened, the route will link Belapur and Ulwe to passenger and cargo entrances and provide access towards Panvel, Karnjade and Kalamboli. No inauguration date was provided.

The Belapur railway station circulating area and several approach roads in Navi Mumbai remain inadequately lit. Affected stretches include the road between Urban Haat and the station’s main ticket counter, and the route from Platform No. 1 towards Agroli and Income Tax Colony. Thousands of passengers use these routes daily; commuters say some streetlights are out and others provide dim illumination. Some rely on mobile phone flashlights. Passengers have urged authorities to restore lighting and inspect the area at night. The feed description also reports pothole-ridden approach roads and residents’ calls for CIDCO repairs.
