OUR AREA OF SERVICE

The majority of our club activities take place within New Mumbai. New (Navi) Mumbai is arguably the world's largest planned city.It was initially planned with a specific purpose: to decongest Mumbai and become an alternative haven for the multitudes that throng Mumbai from different parts of India. About 344 km². of land lying between village Dighe in Thane district and Kalundre village of Raigad district has been converted into a new city over the past 30 years by CIDCO. CIDCO carved out 14 nodes - small townships - of the land with a view to facilitate comprehensive development and to give it an identity of new city. These nodes are named Airoli, Ghansoli, Kopar Khairane, Vashi, Sanpada, Nerul, CBD Belapur, Kharghar, Kalamboli, Kamothe, New Panvel, Ulwe, Pushpak and Dronagiri where lies the New Mumbai International Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust JNPT.
