Question 1

What is the route of the Thane Coastal Road project?

Accepted Answer

The project runs 13.45 km from Kharegaon Toll Naka on NH-160 (old NH-3) at Balkum to Gaimukh on Ghodbunder State Highway (SH-42), implemented by MMRDA.

Question 2

When will the Thane Coastal Road be completed?

Accepted Answer

Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister announced a May 2028 target. As of January 2026, overall project progress stands at 20%, with over 50% of the viaduct foundation work complete and contractor Navayuga Engineering progressing on pier cap and girder installation.

Question 3

Which localities will benefit directly from the Thane Coastal Road?

Accepted Answer

Balkum, Kolshet, Kasarvadavali, Bhayanderpada, and Gaimukh sit along Phase 1 alignment. Kharegaon and Kolshet Industrial Area have already recorded price appreciation of 40.7% and 53.1%, respectively, over three years.

Question 4

Will the Thane Coastal Road connect directly to the Mumbai Coastal Road?

Accepted Answer

No direct junction exists. The Phase 1 road ends at Gaimukh. A second planned corridor from Gaimukh to Bhayander (tunnel and elevated section, estimated ₹16,500 crore) would eventually link Thane to the Mumbai Coastal Road network, but it remains in the DPR stage.

Question 5

What is the total cost of the Thane Coastal Road project?

Accepted Answer

The sanctioned project cost is ₹3,364.62 crore. The civil contract awarded to Navayuga Engineering Company Ltd is valued at approximately ₹2,727 crore, with a 48-month contract period (12 months design + 36 months construction).

Question 6

Does the Thane Coastal Road pass through mangroves, and what does that mean for nearby land?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 8.11 km elevated viaduct section passes through 10.04 hectares of mangroves. Land within CRZ-IA zones adjacent to the alignment cannot be legally developed. Verify your plot's CRZ zone classification with MCZMA before purchase.   Use the 1acre Premium Thane Coastal Road layer  to verify your plot's position relative to the alignment and CRZ boundaries before transacting.

Question 7

What is the CRZ clearance status, and how does it affect properties near the alignment?

Accepted Answer

CRZ clearance from MCZMA was granted in August 2023. However, forest clearances for some sections were still in process as of 2025. Any plot that sits within the CRZ boundary near Thane Creek carries legal development restrictions that survive the road's construction.

Question 8

Who is the contractor and what is the current construction status?

Accepted Answer

Navayuga Engineering is the EPC contractor, awarded in December 2023. By February 2026, overall project progress stands at 20%, with over 50% of viaduct foundation work complete. Pier cap and girder installation is underway across multiple stretches.
