Why This Auction Matters
The timing of the announcement is significant, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate operations at Navi Mumbai International Airport on September 30, alongside flagging off the partial phase of Mumbai Metro-3 in South Mumbai. With the airport expected to transform Navi Mumbai into a major economic and real estate hub, demand for land parcels is likely to surge.

Navi Mumbai’s 14 Planned Nodes
Over the years, CIDCO has meticulously developed 14 nodes in Navi Mumbai, including Airoli, Vashi, Nerul, Belapur, Kharghar, Kamothe, New Panvel, Ulwe, and Dronagiri. These areas were originally allotted on a 30-year leasehold basis, making them organized, infrastructure-ready hubs for both housing and business.
Leasehold to Freehold Conversion: A Game-Changer
In July 2025, CIDCO introduced a major policy shift by allowing conversion of leasehold residential plots into freehold. Eligible plot owners can now apply for conversion by submitting the necessary documents and paying a conversion fee, which is calculated as a percentage of the ready reckoner rate of the land. This move has already boosted buyer confidence in Navi Mumbai’s property market.
