South-based existent property developer Olive Group has announced its re-entry into the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) to capitalise connected maturation opportunities successful the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA), which has been planned adjacent to the Navi Mumbai International Airport, successful Navi Mumbai.
The developer, which has a beingness successful Kerala, Bengaluru and Tamil Nadu, having delivered much than 47 lakh sq. ft. of residential and hospitality projects is readying a improvement pipeline of much than 1 crore sq. ft. crossed MMR.
The renewed absorption connected the portion marks a displacement aft respective years during which the company’s maturation was mostly concentrated successful confederate India.
“We are bullish astir Navi Mumbai due to the fact that this is 1 of the fastest-growing municipality markets successful India wherever planning, argumentation and infrastructure are converging astatine an unprecedented scale. Over the past 4 decades, I person seen however cities grow successful phases—often successful an uncoordinated manner,” said P. V. Mathai, Chairman and Managing Director, Olive Group.
“What makes the NAINA portion antithetic is that nationalist investment, regulatory readying and execution timelines are moving successful alignment,” helium said.

“Public concern moving into respective tens of thousands of crores is already committed to the NAINA portion done the planetary airport, metro obstruction connectivity, expressways, arterial roadworthy networks, utilities and planned societal and economical infrastructure specified arsenic IT and logistics parks. This level of coordinated concern typically unfolds implicit decades; here, it is being compressed into a azygous maturation cycle,” helium said.
The Navi Mumbai International Airport, 1 of the country’s largest greenfield infrastructure projects, is expected to go operational successful phases and is projected to grip up to 90 cardinal passengers annually erstwhile afloat developed. Alongside the airport, parallel investments are underway successful transport infrastructure, utilities, logistics facilities and societal infrastructure, each planned wrong the NAINA framework.

On the group’s humanities relation with the region, Varghese Mathew, Director, Olive Group, said “the existent re-entry is driven by a fundamentally antithetic municipality context.”
“Our existent property travel began successful Navi Mumbai with much than 20 projects successful the aboriginal 1990s, erstwhile the metropolis itself was inactive uncovering its identity. What brings america backmost to MMR contiguous is not nostalgia, but the emergence of a fundamentally antithetic municipality opportunity. NAINA is not astir adding buildings to a city; it is astir readying a metropolis earlier it gets built,” helium said.
“In astir Indian cities, developers are required to code issues that already exist—congestion, deficiency of unfastened spaces and stressed utilities. NAINA allows that equation to beryllium reversed. It creates the accidental to physique integrated manner districts wherever housing, enactment access, assemblage infrastructure and unfastened spaces are planned together,” helium added.
