Kharadi is a true cosmopolitan hub, with a diverse demographic where 53% of buyers originate from North Indian states and 37% are local Marathi residents. This mix, driven by IT and BFSI recruitment, has created an inclusive community that values safety and large, amenity-rich gated societies. The area is known for celebrating festivals like Chhath Puja with great enthusiasm. This growing community's demand for multi-generational homes is fueling the market for 3 and 4 BHK configurations.
A vibrant mix of cultures celebrating life together
1. Introduction: A Mosaic of Cultures
One of Kharadi's most unique characteristics is its diverse demographic fabric. It isn't just a place of work; it's a "Home Away from Home" for thousands of families from across India. Data reveals a fascinating mix: 53% of buyers in Kharadi are from North Indian states (Bihar, Delhi, MP, UP), while 37% represent the local Marathi community.
2. Why North Indians Choose Kharadi
The influx of professionals from cities like Patna, Darbhanga, Indore, and Lucknow is driven by the recruitment patterns of the IT and BFSI sectors. These immigrants are often "Campus to Corporate" movers who prioritize safety, community, and well-planned environments. North Indian buyers are traditionally attracted to large, amenity-rich gated communities—a need that developers like Godrej Properties address with expansive clubhouses and lifestyle themes.

3. The Grand Celebration of Chhath Puja
The cultural influence of the North Indian community is most visible during festivals. Chhath Puja has become one of Kharadi’s most vibrant annual events. In 2025, the festival was celebrated at over 40 locations across the city, with Kharadi being a major hub. Devotees gather at the Mula-Mutha riverbanks and artificial ponds within societies like Godrej Boulevard to perform Usha Arghya (prayers to the rising sun). This sense of togetherness creates a "heartwarming" environment where festivals like Diwali and Chhath are celebrated with equal fervor.
4. Regional Dominance and Preferences
- Bihar & Jharkhand: Strong presence from Patna and Champaran; focus on community-centric living.
- Madhya Pradesh: Buyers from Indore and Bhopal moving for long-term settlement.
- Delhi/NCR: Often investors looking for high-yield second homes.
- Local Marathi Community: Values Kharadi for its blend of tradition and modernity, maintaining deep roots in the eastern suburb’s heritage.
5. Multigenerational Living
Kharadi's community is increasingly moving towards 3 and 4 BHK configurations to accommodate multigenerational families. Parents and grandparents often join the IT workforce here, leading to a demand for senior-friendly spaces and expansive gardens.
Conclusion
Living in Kharadi means being part of a community that transcends regional boundaries. It offers a unique blend of Marathi warmth and North Indian vibrancy, making it an inclusive, safe, and celebratory neighborhood for every family.
