As the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIAL) prepares for its inaugural launch on September 30, 2025, the demand for residential properties in the surrounding area has skyrocketed. Responding to this surge, in Phase 1, NMIAL has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The Wadhwa Group to secure 405 ready-to-move-in flats at its flagship integrated township, Wadhwa Wise City, Panvel, for airport personnel and their families from October 2025. This collaboration is a testament to the symbiotic growth between large-scale infrastructure projects in the NAINA region and the real estate market.
Wadhwa Wise City, spread across 450 acres in Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA), is Navi Mumbai’s first and largest integrated township project. With over 3000 Occupation Certificate (OC)-ready units available, the township is witnessing rapid absorption. The project has planned various upcoming social infrastructure facilities, including renowned Fr. Agnel School, which provides a CBSE curriculum, retail spaces, healthcare centers, landscaped gardens, and recreational facilities.
The Navi Mumbai International Airport is projected to handle 20 million passengers annually in its first phase, ultimately scaling up to 90 million passengers per year. Complementing the airport are major infrastructure initiatives reshaping the region, such as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), which cuts travel time from South Mumbai to Navi Mumbai to just 30 minutes. Additionally, the Navi Mumbai Metro Line 1 and the proposed Mumbai Metro Line 8 will provide seamless connectivity to the airport. The region also benefits from expressways and coastal roads, including the Ulwe Coastal Road and the Thane–Belapur elevated corridor. The Panvel–Karjat Suburban Rail Line further strengthens regional rail connectivity.
Sandeep Sonthalia, CEO of The Wadhwa Group, commented on the deal, stating, “The opening of the Navi Mumbai International Airport is a monumental event for the region. We are witnessing an uptake in demand for apartments, bungalows, and plots and are thrilled to partner with NMIAL to address this need. Due to various infrastructure initiatives undertaken by the Government, it takes less than 50 minutes to reach Wadhwa Wise City from prominent areas of Mumbai like SoBo, including Walkeshwar, Nariman Point, Prabhadevi, Worli, Bandra, and BKC.”
As Navi Mumbai emerges as one of India’s most dynamic growth corridors, Wadhwa Wise City stands at the forefront of this transformation—setting a benchmark for integrated urban living in the years to come.
