Kharghar is well planned node

December 29, 2007
Kharghar is a residential township consisting of over 50 sectors. Situated close to the highway this place boasts of some of the finest housing complexes in the city and some of the most expensive ones as well! The best thing about Kharghar is that it is a well-planned node and the roads are wide and well-maintained. Famous for its monumental landmarks, like Shilp Chowk, it is situated very close to the upcoming international airport, which has added to the real estate process in the area. Almost every big builder in the city has a project in the area.
CIDCO has earmarked an area of 80 hectare for the Central Park in sectors 23, 24 and 25 of the node.
“These are some of the factor that have made Kharghar so popular. It is, by far, one of the best places to live in and property rates are going up by the day,” says Mohan Parab, a local resident.
Adds Shekhar S, another resident, “The best thing about the node is that the roads are wide and well maintained. Everything is so well-planned.”
The beauty of the picturesque Khaghar Hills cannot be matched by any other place in the area. Kharghar hills are proof of the fact that development and nature can go hand-in-hand.
“Below the hills, one can see that construction activity is on in full swing, but luckily, not a stone has been touched on the hill. This shows that the authorities touched on the hill. This shows that the authorities want to preserve the beauty of the place and encourage development at the same time,” says Priti Khana, a local resident.
This upcoming township also has the Indian Armed force in its vicinity. The Indian Armed Forces have towed residential enclave, Jal Vayu Vihar and Raghunath Vihar and there is also the Rail Vihar near the Hiranandani residential complex.
What put Kharghar on the international map is the upcoming airport and the cross restaurant, which was earlier named as ‘Hitler’s Cross’, but due to international protests, it was changed to ‘cross’.
Kharghar is also becoming a hub for institutes offering specialty courses, like National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) and a very famous institute for hotel management.
“Some of the finest institutes are setting up base here. Who would have thought that NIFT would come up in this node? However, with all this development, some basic facilities, like rickshaws with reasonable fares, are still lacking,” concludes Meenal Gupta, a local resident.
