This decision is likely to include the best of the UDCPR along with NAINA and make the way for more viable projects and will result in sustainable development.

The notice concerning getting any recommendations and objections has been released in the official gazette of the Government of Maharashtra per Section 37, subsection 1 of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 on November 3, this year. Any recommendations and objections from the citizens will be heard by the committee comprising SP (DP NAINA), Chief Planner (NAINA) and SP (BP NAINA).

Vice-chairman and managing director, CIDCO, Sanjay Mukherjee, told the media that NAINA would be enhanced as a city of international standards with opportunity for businesses to grow. CIDCO is operating as the Special Planning Authority for the NAINA area. The Board of CIDCO has now decided to include several provisions of the UDCPR of GoM in the NAINA area, which will help in ease of doing business.

It will additionally provide for quicker development of the NAINA project.

To stop unexpected development around the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), CIDCO has planned the development of NAINA on 371 sq km of land from the Thane and Raigad districts. This growth plans to make a sustainable city with commercial, residential, educational and other basic civic facilities.

The execution of NAINA is conducted by executing 11 town planning schemes. The project is based on the land consolidation principle. As the Special Planning Authority for the NAINA notified area, CIDCO is responsible for the execution of the regulations in the area. As the city of NAINA will be close to the planned NMIA, it will have a leading place on the international map.
