The Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) is set to revolutionise Mumbai’s real estate dynamics by significantly enhancing connectivity between the eastern and western suburbs. This ambitious 12.30 km-long project, featuring 6.65 km twin tunnels under the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), will reduce travel time between Goregaon and Mulund from over an hour to just 25 minutes.
With an investment of INR 1,958 crore allocated in the BMC’s 2025-26 budget and an expected completion by 2028, this infrastructure initiative is poised to be a game-changer for Mumbai’s urban landscape.
The GMLR is expected to spur real estate activity along its corridor, particularly in Mulund, Malad, Borivali, and Goregaon. Industry leaders weigh in on the transformative impact this project will have on Mumbai’s property market.
With enhanced connectivity via the GMLR, Mulund is set to emerge as a high-end residential destination. This mega infrastructure project will make Mulund increasingly attractive to luxury homebuyers seeking seamless access to key city hubs.
On the western front, the Malad to Borivali corridor is also set to gain prominence, with the GMLR serving as a crucial infrastructure catalyst. This arterial connectivity will not only improve east-west mobility but also reduce travel time, boosting demand for real estate in the region and positioning it as a prime residential and commercial hub.
As per Knight Frank India report, in January 2025, the Western suburbs and Central suburbs continued to dominate, accounting for 86 per cent of total market share in terms of property registrations in Mumbai. “This growth reflects a surge in supply and heightened end-user interest in these locations,” the report said.
Beyond residential developments, the GMLR is expected to attract significant commercial and retail investments, further strengthening Mumbai’s real estate sector. Its integration with major highways, including the Pune-Mumbai Expressway and the upcoming Navi Mumbai airport, will unlock new business opportunities and drive increased footfall in these areas.
Moreover, reduced vehicular congestion will not only enhance the overall quality of life but also contribute to sustainable urban mobility, fostering a more connected and efficient Mumbai.
As the city eagerly anticipates the completion of this landmark infrastructure project, the GMLR is poised to redefine Mumbai’s real estate landscape, opening new avenues for growth and investment.
