Where Panvel Was, Where It Is, and Why This Moment Might Just Be Perfect
“Panvel ke rates kitne chal rahe hai abhi?”
“Old Panvel better hai ya New?”
“2 saal pehle sasta tha, abhi lena chahiye ya wait karein?”
If you’ve ever caught yourself asking these questions —
while scrolling property apps at 1 AM,
or while casually discussing real estate over chai with friends —
this blog is for you.
You may not be ready to buy today. But you’re curious. You’re watching Panvel.
You’ve heard the airport talks, seen new towers rise, and maybe even regretted not investing a few years ago.
This guide isn’t written to sell you anything. It’s written to help you understand —
how far Panvel has come, what it costs today, and whether it still makes sense for you and how might it look after 5 years.
Because when it comes to real estate,
the right decision starts with the right clarity.
Why Panvel? Why Now?
Panvel has quietly transformed from “next best alternative” to Navi Mumbai’s new growth centre.
Here’s why serious investors and end-users are finally circling in:
- ✈️ Navi Mumbai International Airport under construction
- 🚇 Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) connecting to South Mumbai in 20 mins
- 🛣️ NH-4, JNPT Port, and Metro expansion all converging
- 🏗️ CIDCO’s planned infra under NAINA (growth node model)
- 🏘️ More than 150+ new RERA projects launched in the last 3 years
This isn’t hype. This is infrastructure-backed growth — the kind that makes prices move quietly, steadily, and surely.
Panvel’s 10-Year Price History (2015–2025)
Let’s go back 10 years and see what the numbers actually say.
| Locality | 2015 (₹/sq ft) | 2020 (₹/sq ft) | 2025 (₹/sq ft) | Growth |
| New Panvel | ₹6,000 | ₹9,000 | ₹11,500–12,500 | 100%+ |
| Old Panvel | ₹6,500–7,000 | ₹9,500–10,000 | ₹12,500–14,000 | 80–100% |

Imagine: A 1 BHK bought in Karanjade in 2015 for ₹18L is now being listed at ₹35–38L.
And yet, some micro-locations in Panvel are still under ₹6,000/sq.ft — making this the final window before the next price jump.

Who Should Buy Where?
This isn’t “one-size-fits-all.” Panvel offers different stories for different people:
First-Time Family Buyer (₹40–60L)
Go for: New Panvel East, Kalamboli Ext, Karanjade
✅ Good builder options
✅ School access, metro in sight
✅ CIDCO titles = peace of mind
“Buying your first home? Start in a zone where infrastructure is already working for you.”
Investor with Long-Term Mindset (₹30–50L)
Go for: Mohape, Nere, Vadghar
✅ Land & low-ticket units
✅ Maha Mumbai node connectivity
✅ High growth, low competition
“You’re not buying for now — you’re buying for who Panvel becomes in 5 years.”
Commercial Buyers
Go for: Panvel MIDC, Palaspe Corridor
✅ Warehousing demand
✅ Easy logistics
✅ ₹30–50/sqft rental zones
If You’re Still Wondering: “Is Now the Right Time?”
Let’s rewind.
- Those who bought in Kalamboli at ₹5,500/sq.ft in 2017 are now quoting ₹9,200+
- Those who picked Palaspe plots at ₹1,500 in 2015 now sell at ₹6,500–8,000/sq.ft
- In Old Panvel, what was a ₹55L flat is now touching ₹85–95L in resale
These are not flukes.
These are decisions made early, in silence — that paid off later, in full volume.
When is the Right Time to Buy?
“Should I wait till Diwali or Gudi Padwa deals?”
Generally:
- Best Offers: Gudi Padwa, Navratri, Diwali
- Builder Pressure: March (financial year close)
- High Demand Period: August to January
🎯 If rates are rising steadily, waiting for discounts may cost you more overall.
💬 Revaa’s Honest Suggestion
Don’t follow noise. Follow signals.
📍Panvel still has entry points.
📍Infrastructure is not just promised — it’s being built.
📍Rates are still affordable, but no longer dirt cheap.
Buy not because prices are low,
But because you finally understand what they’re becoming.
