Huge infrastructure projects lined in Alibaug

Alibaug, off Mumbai’s coast, could soon be open to a larger crowd once infrastructure projects offering better connectivity with the mainland are completed. Dotted with sprawling bungalows, the area is consequently all set for bigger realty play. Foremost among the infrastructure projects currently underway is the roll-on-roll-off (RORO) jetty water transport system linking south Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Alibaug to provide all-weather boat connectivity, making the area accessible even during monsoons. Also from south Mumbai, it will be possible to reach Alibaug in 40 minutes flat. “The new infrastructure development plan is going to change a lot for Alibaug, especially as RORO becomes operational. There are established developers betting big on Alibaug, which include Hiranandanis, Mahindra Lifespaces, Neelkanth Developers, and which have acquired large tracts of land amounting to hundreds of acres,” says Anuj Puri, chairman, ANAROCK Property Consultants.
