Navin Makhija on MMR Real Estate Shift
Navin Makhija outlines how the Panvel–Karjat corridor’s 80 percent progress is accelerating a structural shift in Mumbai Metropolitan Region real estate, particularly towards the eastern growth belt. With improved suburban rail connectivity and proximity to large infrastructure projects, he points out that locations such as Panvel and Karjat are increasingly viewed as end-user destinations rather than only second-home or investor markets. Navin Makhija emphasizes that better access, rising social infrastructure and relatively attractive pricing are together creating a stronger case for long-term, sustainable housing demand in these micro-markets while easing pressure on saturated western suburbs.
