Navi Mumbai property market gains momentum after airport launch

25 Dec 2025 CW Team

The launch of the first commercial flight from the Navi Mumbai International Airport has triggered renewed momentum across the Navi Mumbai property market, with rising buyer interest and accelerated price appreciation, as per news reports.

The airport’s operational debut coincides with progress on key infrastructure projects, including the Atal Setu (Mumbai Trans Harbour Link), the Alibaug–Virar Multimodal Corridor, the Mumbai–Navi Mumbai Metro and improved road connectivity via the Mumbai–Pune Expressway. Together, these developments are improving accessibility and strengthening demand for residential, second-home and luxury housing across Navi Mumbai and adjoining micro-markets.

Industry estimates indicate year-on-year price appreciation of 15–35 per cent over the past 12 months. Ulwe and Panvel have recorded the sharpest gains at 25–35 per cent, followed by Kharghar (20–25 per cent), Taloja (around 20 per cent), and Khopoli and Karjat (15–22 per cent). Locations within a 45-minute radius of the airport are increasingly being viewed as high-potential investment destinations.

Commenting on the trend, Mohit Malhotra, Founder and CEO of NeoLiv, said the airport marks a defining milestone for the extended Mumbai Metropolitan Region, with strategically connected locations such as Khopoli expected to benefit from improved accessibility and expanding economic activity.

Analysts expect further upside by 2026 as airport operations stabilise and supporting metro and road infrastructure is completed.
