Kharghar Coastal Road Work To Begin In Early 2026

12 Nov 2025 CW Team

Planned by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), the 9.68-kilometre-long, 30-metre-wide arterial road will connect the airport with major nodes such as Belapur and Nerul, significantly improving regional mobility and driving economic growth across Navi Mumbai.

The project will also provide direct, high-speed connectivity to the International Corporate Park (ICP)—being developed on the lines of Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC)—as well as to the Golf Course and the FIFA-standard Centre of Excellence (COE) at Kharghar.

A grade-separated interchange over the Sion–Panvel Expressway is also part of the design, ensuring smooth traffic flow and minimising congestion between the airport and nearby business and recreational hubs.

Of the total road length, 6.96 kilometres will be newly developed, while the remaining portion will be integrated with the existing road network. The corridor will also serve future transport demand from upcoming projects such as the Water Transport Terminal and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) housing schemes in the region.

CIDCO has awarded the construction contract to the J Kumar–J M Mhatre Joint Venture. Officials stated that the project will not only enhance airport connectivity but also strengthen Kharghar’s position as a major residential and commercial centre, linking it seamlessly to Taloja and Navde.

A CIDCO official said, “Known for its planned infrastructure, greenery, and educational institutions, Kharghar is poised to enter a new phase of growth once the coastal road becomes operational. If work progresses as scheduled, the road is expected to be ready by 2029.”

Once completed, the Kharghar Coastal Road is expected to serve as a crucial urban artery, supporting rapid economic expansion and sustainable urban development in the Navi Mumbai region.
