The Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, also known as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), is India’s longest sea bridge. Stretching 21.8 kilometers (with 16.5 km over the sea), this six-lane highway connects Sewri in South Mumbai with Nhava Sheva in Navi Mumbai (near Ulwe).
Prior to the bridge's opening by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), traveling between South Mumbai and the airport zone in Navi Mumbai took over 90 to 120 minutes through heavy traffic. The Atal Setu has reduced this travel time to less than 20 minutes, directly linking the mainland to island Mumbai.
Ulwe, situated at the Nhava Sheva landing point, has transitioned from a developing node into a strategic residential and logistics extension of Mumbai. The proximity to the MTHL landing ramp, the local rail network (Bamandongri and Kharkopar stations), and the upcoming International Airport has fueled demand for both residential land and commercial layouts.
Investors looking at plots in the Ulwe extension or adjacent nodes must check the CIDCO lease terms and transfer regulations, as land in CIDCO-administered nodes is leasehold (typically 60-year or 90-year lease agreements) and requires clear transfer NOCs.
