For years, Khopoli’s biggest limitation was also its advantage: far enough from the centres of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region to stay green, quiet and undeveloped. That is changing, and the shift is driven by infrastructure rather than hype.

What is already open

  • Navi Mumbai International Airport has operated commercial flights since December 2025 and is roughly an hour from Neoliv Grand Forest. It is projected to handle 9 crore passengers a year by 2034.
  • The Missing Link, a 13.3 km Khopoli–Kusgaon bypass with about ₹6,695 crore invested, cuts around 20–30 minutes from Mumbai–Pune trips.
  • Atal Setu (MTHL) gives a fast route towards Mumbai, roughly 45 minutes from the site.

What is still to come

A 7.35 km elevated connector linking Atal Setu, Chirle, Palaspe and the Mumbai–Pune Expressway is estimated for 2027. The 126 km Virar–Alibaug Multimodal Corridor runs through Raigad, with Phase I from 2027 and the full corridor through 2030. The Khalapur Logistics Park (500 ha, about 15 minutes away) is expected from 2026, and Navi Mumbai airport Phase 2 is slated for 2029–30.

A new economic base

Data-centre, logistics and industrial investment is building around the corridor, with a 5.7 GW data-centre build-out targeted by 2032. Colliers ranks Khopoli first among eight micro-markets studied, with ₹2.91 lakh crore of planned infrastructure investment and projected growth of 3.9× over six years.
