Thane’s ₹59,000 Crore Infrastructure Projects Spark Real Estate Surge
Thane’s shift from a peripheral suburb to a prime real estate hub is driven by an unprecedented ₹59,000 crore infrastructure push. Metro expansions, road upgrades, and connectivity corridors are reshaping accessibility, sparking a 46% price surge over three years and a 103% spike in housing supply since 2020.
