CIDCO floated a tender to appoint a detailed project report peer review consultant for a proposed 25 km elevated corridor connecting Thane with Navi Mumbai International Airport. The project received Cabinet approval last year and carries an estimated cost of ₹6,363 cr. The six-lane corridor is planned to reduce the journey between Thane and the airport from about 90 minutes to 30 minutes. 🏗️
The route will start at Dhan Nirankari Chowk near Patni Maidan in Digha, run parallel to Thane-Belapur Road for 17 km and reach Vashi. A further 9 km double-decker elevated road is planned to connect directly with the airport. The corridor will include six interchanges and is proposed to be implemented through a public-private partnership.
₹6,363 cr project cost
• 25 km elevated infrastructure project connecting Thane and Navi Mumbai International Airport
• Six-lane expressway with a planned reduction in travel time from 90 minutes to 30 minutes
• 17 km section aligned parallel to Thane-Belapur Road, followed by a 9 km airport connection
The tender is for peer review of the detailed project report, so it marks a planning and procurement step rather than the award of a construction contract. The project could support long-term connectivity around Navi Mumbai’s airport, while easing pressure on the Eastern Express Highway and Thane-Belapur Road if the planned capacity is delivered. The PPP structure makes the next stages of technical validation, concession terms and financial closure important for execution visibility. 🚧
The next milestones to watch are the appointment of the peer review consultant, completion and approval of the detailed project report, the main construction tender, concession award and the eventual start of work. These steps will determine whether the approved cost, alignment, interchanges and proposed travel-time benefit remain unchanged.
OI Charts data showed the Nifty at ₹24,537 on 05 Nov 2026, up 2.4% on the day. The index had gained 7.0% over five sessions and 8.8% over 20 sessions, trading close to its 52-week high of ₹24,580 recorded on the same session. This broader market context does not measure the corridor’s project-specific impact.
