Kharghar is quickly evolving from a well-planned node into a central hub, earning the moniker "Kharghar 3.0"a development phase defined by unparalleled infrastructure. Godrej Properties' decision to launch a high-value product here (from 2 to 3 CRs) is a calculated move, capitalizing on Kharghar's exceptional connectivity and burgeoning social infrastructure.
Meticulously planned zones for holistic growth
1. A City Designed for the Future
Kharghar is unique in Navi Mumbai as a massive area that has been meticulously designed through proper planning. The entire area is defined by a plot-based phase system, with fixed zones for different uses:
- Education
- Hospitality
- Medical
- Residential
- Commercial
This planned layout ensures holistic and integrated growth, contributing directly to a stable social fabric.
2. The Rise of the Commercial Hub (BKC 2.0)
Kharghar is poised to become a significant commercial center, mitigating the need for residents to commute long distances.
- BKC 2.0: The commercial areas within Kharghar are sometimes referred to as BKC 2.0, hinting at a status comparable to Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex.
- Proximity to CBDs: While Belapur's Central Business District (CBD) is nearby, a commercial area is actively being built in Kharghar to eventually mirror Belapur's route.
- MIDC Connectivity: The upcoming Kharghar-Turbhe Link Road (Tunnel) is a major infrastructure project. This tunnel will cut through the mountain separating Kharghar from the Turbhe MIDC (third largest in Maharashtra). What used to take 25-30 minutes will soon be a 10-minute commute to Turbhe. This will make Kharghar an attractive residential location for high-ticket customers, such as business owners from Turbhe.
- Local Landmarks: Kharghar is already home to several major landmarks, including India's biggest Central Park and the second- or third-largest Iskcon Temple in India, adding significant cultural and recreational value.
Metro, Rail, Road, and Air connectivity in one place
3. Connectivity: The Quadruple Advantage
The project's location boasts a super strong connectivity profile, ensuring residents are linked via every mode of transport:
- Metro: The property is situated just opposite a major, functional Metro station, requiring only a short walk.
- Local Station: The local railway station is also nearby.
- Airport (Hybrid Tax Property): The new Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) is a mere 15 minutes away. It has been inaugurated and is ready to start operations soon.
- Waterways: The NMIA is the first airport in India to feature an integrated waterways transport system, allowing access via water taxi.
This unique Metro, Local, Roadways, and Waterways connectivity is a first-of-its-kind transport advantage in India.
4. A Location that Doesn't Need Add-Ons
The location's existing development is so robust that Godrej does not need to incorporate external retail brands (like a major caf chain or pharmacy) into the project itself, as they have done in less developed "Godrej City" projects.
Existing Infrastructure: Kharghar already features major hospitals and brand-name commercial outlets within a 2-3 kilometer radius, including MediCover, Cloud9, and Motherhood.
Focus on Core Luxury: Instead of adding retail, Godrej focuses on maintaining the luxury and design of the apartment, the clubhouse, swimming pool, and gym, ensuring these core resident amenities are world-class.
Conclusion
This synergy of location advantage and brand quality means the Godrej Kharghar project is set to be a significant "hit".
