CIDCO & NAINA

Who plans it

CIDCO (City and Industrial Development Corporation) is the Maharashtra government agency that built

Navi Mumbai and is the Special Planning Authority for the airport region. That professional planning

pedigree is a big part of the Mumbai 3.0 story - it is meant to be an *organised* city, not organic sprawl.

What NAINA is

NAINA stands for Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area - the belt of land around the

airport that CIDCO plans and develops. It covers a large area of villages across the Raigad district,

notified in phases. The intent: guide the growth that an airport inevitably triggers into a planned

city with proper roads, utilities and public spaces.

How it gets built - Town Planning Schemes (TPS)

NAINA is developed largely through Town Planning Schemes (TPS) - a mechanism where land is pooled

and re-planned: the authority lays out roads, infrastructure and public amenities, landowners get back

developable serviced plots, and the area is urbanised in an orderly way. TPS is why NAINA is expected

to have planned road networks and infrastructure rather than the haphazard growth seen in some fringe areas.

What this means for a buyer

• Planned development can mean better long-term infrastructure and liveability.
• But NAINA is being built in phases across many villages, so infrastructure and readiness vary a

lot by node and by TPS. Two "NAINA" plots can be very different in how developed they are today.

• Always verify a specific project's approvals + MahaRERA registration, and check what infrastructure

is *actually in place* at that node now (not just planned). Confirm the latest planning status with

CIDCO/official sources.
