Today Group outlines pre-launch smart township plan at Kharghar Hills

The Today Group, working with Prachar Developers, has announced plans to build what it calls Navi Mumbai's first private smart city at Kharghar Hills. The announcement, dated 2 November 2026, says the project is in its pre-launch phase. The developer has not yet disclosed its size, unit count, price or launch date.

The announcement was issued as a paid promotional release, so every claim in it comes from the developer. The company says the project will combine homes, lifestyle amenities, technology and connectivity in one township-style destination on the Kharghar Hills, which it describes as offering hill views and natural surroundings. Bhadresh Shah, Managing Director of Today Group, said the team had placed the needs of a larger community at the centre of its planning.

What the developer has and has not said

The developer highlights what it calls Navi Mumbai's biggest clubhouse, meant for recreation and shared use by children and adults. It has not given the clubhouse's size or specifications, and it has not published an amenity list. It also says the project was conceived on an expansive scale, but has not stated a land area.

No number of towers or units, configurations, price band, RERA registration or government approval for the smart-city plan has been announced. Buyers should check the MahaRERA registration of any specific project before booking, because a pre-launch announcement is not a registration.

The group says it has more than two decades of experience in Navi Mumbai's real estate sector, has delivered more than 30 projects and has served over 3,000 families. These are the group's own figures and have not been independently verified.

Connectivity in the area

The release cites the 60-foot-wide Kharghar Link Road and the Sion–Panvel Highway as access routes. It also points to Kharghar railway station, the Belapur–Pendhar Metro line and Amandoot metro station, which it says is about five minutes away. Navi Mumbai International Airport and the proposed bullet train are also mentioned, but the release gives no opening dates for either.

The larger public projects are the ones with official timelines. CIDCO's Kharghar–Turbhe Link Road, estimated at about ₹2,099 crore, is meant to cut the Turbhe–Kharghar journey from around 40 minutes to about 10. Officials have said it will be fully operational by September 2028, and one report says construction began in December 2024. The link includes a 1.8-km twin tunnel and a 3.4-km elevated viaduct. Separately, the listed target for Phase III of the 6.71-km Airoli–Katai Naka corridor, under MMRDA, is 10 October 2028.

What buyers and investors should watch

The developer has not set a launch date, RERA filing date or possession date for the project. Independent data on prices and demand for Kharghar Hills is not yet available. The release's claims about demand and long-term value are the developer's own view, not an independent assessment.

• A MahaRERA registration number for the Kharghar Hills project, with its approved plans, carpet areas and possession date
• The formal launch announcement and the price band
• The Kharghar–Turbhe Link Road's progress against its September 2028 target
• The Airoli–Katai Naka Phase III milestone listed for 10 October 2028

The next step to watch is the project's RERA registration. Until that is filed and published, the scheme remains a developer's announcement. Buyers weighing a booking should read the registered plans and agreement terms rather than the promotional material.
