October 03, 2025: Mumbai has constantly evolved with each phase of its growth, from reclamation projects to mill land redevelopment and the expansion of Navi Mumbai. The city’s latest frontier, referred to as “Third Mumbai,” represents not just another geographical expansion but a transformative step in urban planning and luxury living.
Officially launched as the Karnala-Sai-Chirner (KSC) New Town project, Third Mumbai spans more than 300 square kilometres in Raigad district. The Maharashtra government has envisioned a balanced mix of premium gated communities and affordable housing. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis described the project as “the blueprint for India’s next business capital,” aligning with the state’s trillion-dollar economy ambition.
Connectivity forms the backbone of this vision. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, operational since 2023, has cut travel time to South Mumbai to under 30 minutes. The upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport, metro extensions, suburban rail networks, and dedicated water routes are further enhancing accessibility, offering both convenience and a “Water Metro” experience.
Third, Mumbai offers a stark alternative to traditional luxury enclaves like BKC, Worli, and South Mumbai, where entry prices begin at Rs 10 crore. Here, master-planned neighbourhoods promise private wellness centres, rooftop leisure spaces, sustainable smart homes, and extensive green zones. Forecasts indicate property values could double within five to seven years, while rental yields may range between 2.5–4%.
The development is also planned as a holistic ecosystem, with Edu City, Medi City, and a Data Centre Zone catering to education, healthcare, and digital infrastructure. By integrating lifestyle, work, and learning spaces, Third Mumbai aims to reduce dependence on Mumbai’s core while offering a sustainable, future-ready model.
As demand for space and modern living grows, Third Mumbai is positioned to redefine luxury housing, blending exclusivity, convenience, and long-term investment appeal.
