Navi-mumbai

Literature study
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
• CIDCO is in the process of developing Navi Mumbai since 1970 as
a counter-magnet to Mumbai.
• The existing airport at Mumbai, is fast reaching saturation and
scope for further enhancement appeared very limited in terms
of passenger and cargo handling facilities, aircraft maintenance
and city side facilities.
• It was therefore imperative to build a second Airport in MMR.
• To meet the growing demands of air travel, following the policy
of Greenfield airports, CIDCO initiated studies for locating the
airport within Navi Mumbai and selected a location close to the
mouth of Panvel Creek.
• The apprehension about the possibility of haphazard
development around proposed airport, if sufficient care is not
taken led to the declaration of area around proposed airport as
NAINA.

Location of NAINA in MMR

NEED FOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN
• Development Plan indicates the manner in which the use of land shall
be regulated, and also indicate the manner in which the development
of land shall be carried out.
• It defines the use of land in term of activities such as residential,
commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational, public utilities,
physical and social infrastructure.
NAVI MUMBAI AIRPORT INFLUENCE
NOTIFIED AREA (NAINA)
• The process of preparation of Development Plan for NAINA was
under progress and Existing Land Use map was prepared and
submitted to Government of Maharashtra in November 2015.
• Government of Maharashtra appointed MIDC (Maharashtra
Industrial Development Corporation) as the Special Planning
Authority (SPA) for eight villages in Khalapur Taluka.
• As per the said notification, three villages (namely Wangni,
Kelavali and Kandroli Tarf Boreti) are fully under MIDC
jurisdiction whereas five villages are partly in MIDC and NAINA.
• As per the notification MSRDC was SPA for the area between
Mumbai Pune Expressway & Mumbai-Pune old Highway (NH4),
and for the land within the two km south-west from Mumbai-
Pune Expressway (excluding the area of Pune district and IDP in
NAINA)
• MSRDC was SPA for the area between Mumbai-Pune
Expressway & Mumbai-Pune old Highway (NH4), and for the
land within the two km south-west from Mumbai-Pune
Expressway
NAVI MUMBAI -
LANDUSE PATTERN

• The 7 nodes in the North part

are Airoli node, Ghansoli
node, Kopar khairane
node, Vashi node, Sanpada
node, Nerul node and Belapur
node.
• The 7 nodes in the South part
are Kharghar node, Kamothe
node, Kalamboli node, Pushpak
Nagar node, Panvel node, Ulwe
node and Dronagiri node.
EXISTING TRANSPORTATION
NETWORK
• The area is well connected by inter-city roads (NHs, SHs, MDRs/ ODRs) with various
Municipal Corporations/Councils and villages located within MMR
• National Highways, State Highways provide fast transport connectivity within the DP Area.
• Mumbai-Pune Expressway provides fast transport connectivity with Pune and Mumbai.
NAINA has about 93 km of major road network which constitute NH-4 and NH-17 and nine
State highways traversing through it.
• In addition, Mumbai-Pune Expressway also passes through the area.
• Thus the area has good regional connectivity with Greater Mumbai, Pune and rest of MMR.
• The Mumbai-Pune Expressway, NH-4 and NH-17 are very good maintained major regional
roads.
• The State Highways are fairly maintained.
• However, the most important state highway within NAINA is Panvel – Sukhapur Road (SH-
103) which is narrow and inconsistently maintained.

Network in NAINA
REGIONAL AND SUBURBAN RAIL
NETWORK
• The rail network of Central Railway connecting Mumbai Goa and
Mumbai –Pune via Panvel passes through NAINA.
• NAINA does not have direct connectivity with suburban network of
Central Railway.
• Central Railway provides suburban services between Mumbai and
Navi Mumbai through harbour line.
• Panvel is the terminal station for suburban services to Mumbai CST
and Thane.
Existing Railway Network
within DP Area
REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY UNDER
ACTIVE CONSIDERATION
• Following are the important proposed/ committed transport projects which would
directly impact NAINA
• Proposed Road Network:
1. Mumbai-Vadodara spur: The alignment of Mumbai-Vadodara spur in MMR is under
implementation by NHAI which starts in Virar and ends in Panvel.
• This corridor has been planned for fast movement of port related inter-city traffic
2. Multi-Modal Corridor (MMC): One of the major recommendations of
Comprehensive Transport Study of MMR was development of MMC in MMR
starting from Virar and terminating at Alibag.
• MMRDA has taken up implementation of MMC (about 140 km).
• Part of the MMC traverses through NAINA and it will provide good regional
connectivity to NMIA as well as other parts of MMR.
Proposed Transit (Suburban and
Metro) Network
Metro Rail: Presently, there is no Metro line operational in the area.
• Metro lines proposed in Navi Mumbai will impact the growth and connectivity of NAINA.
• CIDCO has undertaken construction of the first Metro line in Navi Mumbai from Belapur to Pendhar which is
proposed to be extended southwards up to NMIA.
• Also additional metro corridor between Mankhurd and Ghatkopar has been proposed which will be extended
up to Panvel via NMIA, thus providing a fast metro connectivity between eastern suburbs of Mumbai and
Panvel.
Suburban Rail Connectivity: Existing Diva-Panvel line and Panvel-Ka rjat-Khopoli line are proposed to have regular
suburban commuter service as part of priority projects by MRVC.
• Anticipating huge population and employment growth in Navi Mumbai and surrounding areas and upcoming
NMIA, MRVC has carried out detailed techno-economic feasibility for suburban operations from Vasai to Diva
and Diva to Panvel.
• In addition to above, MRVC has carried out in-house technical feasibility study for the operation of suburban
rail services from Panvel to Karjat.
• In the long run, suburban services are expected to be available on Panvel – Pen route after completion of
doubling and electrification of the line.
Proposed MTHL: The proposed Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), which connects Sewri (in
Island city of Mumbai) to Nhava Sheva (Main land) is planned with the basic objective of :
(a) development of land across creek and reducing pressure on Mumbai City; and
(b) facilitate decongestion efforts by improving connectivity between Island city and land across
creek .
• MTHL along with Eastern Freeway would provide fast connectivity to NMIA and NAINA from
Mumbai.
Proposed NMIA: Potential catchment of the NMIA is expected to be mainly MMR and areas
neighbouring MMR.
• The pressure on Mumbai airport is not likely to reduce in the coming years and Pune and
Nagpur airports have very limited international flights.
• Thus the inflow of passengers to the NMIA is expected to be high and as a result the
surrounding areas will have increased potential for development.
DFC: Government of India (GoI) envisages developing dedicated freight corridor (DFC) between
Delhi and Mumbai (originating from JNPT).
• DFC is passing through NAINA (14 Villages in Thane Taluka)
Proposed Regional
Network in NAINA
BUS SYSTEM
• The bus service is provided by Maharashtra State Road Transport
Corporation (MSRTC).
• MSRTC has prime responsibility to ensure connectivity of village
settlements with nearby Taluka head quarter.
• The level of bus service required to facilitate transit movement like an
urban area is missing.
Transport Oriented Development
• Transport network is backbone of cities.
• parameters considered while planning Transport Oriented Development for NAINA:
• Walk: Developing neighbourhoods that promote walking by providing neighbourhood facilities and
public transport at walkable distance
• Cycle: Promoting and encouraging Non-motorized transport system by providing cycle and pedestrian
lanes
• Connections: Creating networks of streets and roads, proposing roads in loops to provide choice of
mobility
• Transit: High potential development along major transport connectivity
• Mixed activities: Planning for mixed use, controlled by DCPR
• Dense and compact development: Optimizing density and transit capacity. Creating regions with
short commutes
• Shift: Increasing mobility by regulating land use (providing parking) and facilities (transport oriented
facilities) near transport nodes.
Transport Oriented Development in NAINA
PROPOSED TRANSPORT
APPROACH AND STRATEGY
Following are the approaches and strategies, considered and applied
while planning transport infrastructure for the Development Plan:
• Integration with Regional transport network: The airport and the Sea
Port (JNPT) are the two traffic-generating centers with national
significance.
• Regional connectivity therefore becomes a major consideration in
planning transport infrastructure.
• Accordingly the regional, interstate, and national level of roads have
been considered and incorporated in the proposed transport network.
• Virar-Alibag Multi Modal Corridor (MMC): Proposed Virar-Alibag MMC is planned as a
regional corridor connecting Alibag to virar via JNPT, passing through DP area from north
to south.
• This multimodal corridor will provide public transport and road based connectivity.
• Service roads will be provided along the MMC on both sides to provide local access for
the proposed development.
• The RoW proposed for the MMC is approximately 100m to accommodate metro, regional
road, and service roads on both sides.
• To merge MMC & Mumbai Vadodara (MV) spur, Right of Way prescribed for combined
corridor in DP area is 126 m. The combined corridor will have 4+4 lanes of MMC & spur
carriageway on either side.
• Approximately 36.47 km of length of MMC passes through DP area. The alignment of
MMC within DP area has been incorporated is as provided by MMRDA
Integration of Mumbai – Vadodara spur: This highway is proposed by NHAI.
• It connects NH-8 (near Virar) to JNPT, which is passing through DP area.
• MV spur has been integrated with MMC to avoid passing of two 100m wide roads
bifurcating the DP.
• MV spur will join MMC and instead of 100 m RoW for each (MMC and MV Spur) the
width of the MMC corridor will be increased to 126 m.
• This increased width will accommodate the carriage way of MV spur as well.
• In this way instead of two 100 m roads, one 126 m road is proposed saving valuable
land.
Proposed Interchanges on Mumbai-Pune expressway: The express-way enters in NAINA
through Adai village (in IDP area).
• An interchange is proposed in IDP area, in Devad village.
Regional Connectivity
in DP area
Metro Network
• There is an extensive metro network proposed to connect Navi Mumbai and other suburban towns
to main economic centres in Mumbai.
• The proposed metro network in the adjoining areas of NAINA connects CBD Belapur, Kharghar,
Taloja MIDC Industrial Area, NMIA, JNPT, Uran, and Panvel.
• Some of these important proposed metro corridors with respect to the Project Area are as follows:
i. Mankhurd-Vashi-Narthen Gaon (Line No.-M17, 23 km)
ii. Vashi-Belapur-NMIA-Panvel (Line No.-M18, 18 kms)
iii. Targhar-Kharkopar-Nhava Sheva-Dronagiri (Line No.-M19, 18 kms)
iv. Kharkopar-Dhutum-Pirkone-Shirkhi-Vadkal (Line No.-M20, 31 kms)
v. Dronagiri-Pirkone-Jite (Line No.-M21, 17 kms)
vi. Shirki-Washi-Jite (Line No.-M22, 13 kms)
It is planned to extend the proposed metro up to Panvel in IDP up to MMC to enable Transit Oriented
Development (TOD).
• Separate metro link proposed in northern part of DP area (14 villages
in Thane area) is about 6.4 kms in length
• The total length of proposed metro network is about 43.03 kms
within DP area.
• Metro Depot has also been proposed in DP area near Wangani tarf
waje village.
Metro and Suburban
rail network in DP
area
Suburban Rail Network
• there is no suburban rail service in NAINA, although a rail network exists, it is mainly used by through trains and
shuttle services.
• However suburban rail transit plays an important role for commuting working population from fringe areas to
urban centres.
• The railways are planning to run suburban services on the rail lines passing through DP area, assuming these
services would be operational shortly, stations are proposed at suitable locations depending on the proposed land
use and development potential.
• These are in addition to the existing stations. The details of the rail corridors and stations are as follows:
i. Diva- Panvel Corridor: A small stretch passes through 14 villages of Thane Taluka, there is no existing station in
this stretch, and hence a station is proposed at Narivali.
ii. Panvel-Karjat Corridor: There are three existing stations on this line namely Chikhale, Mohope and Chowk.
Additional three stations are proposed in Usarli Khurd, Bhingar and Morbe.. Proposal of doubling the corridor is
under active consideration by MRVC
iii. Panvel-Roha Corridor along Konkan Railway: There are six existing stations located on this line namely
Somtane, Rasayani, Apte, Hamrapur/Jite Halt, Hamrapur and Pen which is outside of NAINA.
• Additional two station at Wadkhal has been proposed.
Non-Motorised Transportation (NMT)
• Non-Motorised Transportation (NMT) provisions: Vehicles operating on the
fossil fuels are the major source of pollution.
• Given the goal of sustainable development it is necessary to minimise use
of non-renewable fossil fuels.
• In this context public transport, non-motorized transport and walkable city
are the key concepts in transport strategy.
• The places to be connected by cycle network are suburban stations, metro
stations, other public transport nodes and roads of intermodal connectivity
• The roads with cycle track and radial distance to 1 km and 2 km (cycle able
distances) ,It covers almost 64% of DP area
NMT Coverage

TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
(TOD)
• Transit Oriented Development is an integrated approach of transport and land
use planning leading to compact, high-density developments located around
public transit nodes such as metro stations, railway stations or multimodal
transit hubs.
• The development has a rich mix of land uses including commercial, residential,
and institutional; designed to maximize the access to transit and non-motorized
transport.
• The term transit includes variety of modes including Metro rail, suburban rail,
light rail, road based public transport etc. and a mix of all these gives rise to a
variety of land use patterns around the transit corridors and nodes.
• The proposed growth centres are located along the transit route in the form of
TOD.
