According to Prajakta Kartik, a local broker, Kharghar is one of those property markets, which have witnessed natural evolution due to various supporting factors.
“Kharghar is a planned area amidst a picturesque backdrop. It has a big catchment area and is well-connected to the CBD of Belapur in Navi Mumbai. Two major highways pass through the region, which also boasts of flourishing educational institutions. Moreover, the price point here suggests extremely high ROI ahead,” explains Kartik.

The growth of residential zones, has fuelled the commercial developments, as well. Kharghar is home to the prestigious National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), which was shifted from Dadar in 2002-03. The Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC), is located in Sector 22. This state-of-the-art R&D satellite of the Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), which also includes the Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH), is the largest cancer hospital in Asia.
Property prices in Kharghar are in the range of Rs 6,300-9,700 per sq ft, while rental returns are in the range of Rs 11-19 per sq ft.

Despite its good physical and social infrastructure, Kharghar faces a serious water supply issue as residents do not get 24×7 supply. Moreover, public transport is an issue that needs to be sorted out here. However, with a number of residential projects coming up, the CIDCO has promised to ensure continuous power and water supply. Commercial establishments too, are increasingly shifting their base to this node, where physical infrastructure is already among the best in the country.
