The sea link project holds significant promise for the burgeoning developmental landscape of Uran- Panvel. With the emergence of the Navi Mumbai Airport and the C-Link, the region is poised to become a global nexus, offering connectivity and accessibility to Mumbai and beyond. The proximity between this area and Mumbai is expected to catalyse rapid growth not just for urban centres but also for villages across Raigad, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Pune, and Palghar.
