The Story in Brief
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has signed an agreement with Singapore-based Surbana Jurong to prepare the vision document and master plan for the proposed Mumbai 3.0 greenfield city. The new town will cover 323.44 sq km across 124 villages in Raigad district, with the consultancy due for completion in 30 weeks.
The project aims to ease pressure on Mumbai and Navi Mumbai by creating a new urban and economic hub, leveraging connectivity from the Atal Setu and the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. Land acquisition began in April 2026, with compensation options including monetary payment, Floor Space Index, and a land pooling model.

The hype around Mumbai 3.0 as the 'next growth phase' ignores the long road ahead. Land acquisition began only in April 2026, and the master plan is still months away. The real test will be how quickly the government resolves land pooling disputes and gets shovels in the ground. Until then, this remains a concept on paper.
