GOVERNMENT PROJECTS IN THANE
Extensive Metro Network Expansion
This 32.32 km elevated corridor with 30 stations is a game-changer, significantly improving connectivity between Thane and Mumbai. It will provide interconnectivity with existing infrastructure like the Eastern Express Highway, Central Railway, and other metro lines (2B, 5, 6, 8). Property values along this corridor are anticipated to increase by 15-20% by 2027.
Thane-Borivali Twin Tunnel
A massive INR 8,900 crore project, this 10.2 km underground twin-tube tunnel beneath the Sanjay Gandhi National Park will drastically reduce travel time between Thane and Borivali to just 15 minutes, easing congestion on Ghodbunder Road and boosting inter-city connectivity.
Inland Water Transport System (Thane-Kalyan Waterway Project and broader connectivity)
Plans are underway to establish waterways connecting Vasai and Kalyan through Thane, with initial jetties at Bhayandar, Kolshet, Kalher, and Dombivli. This innovative project aims to reduce travel time by 50% and will eventually connect Thane to Vasai, Kalyan, Mumbai, and Navi Mumbai, with future phases potentially linking Thane to Gateway of India and JNPT.
Smart Cities Mission Initiatives and Sustainable Urban Planning
Thane's participation in the Smart Cities Mission emphasizes transforming it into a technologically advanced, sustainable city. Initiatives include enhanced waste management, smart transport systems, efficient governance, and the development of green spaces like the Namo Grand Central Park (over 20.5 acres with themed gardens, a lake, jogging tracks). These efforts attract eco-conscious residents and enhance overall quality of life, making Thane an appealing destination for sustainable living.
