Ulwe
Node of Navi Mumbai
Ulwe (also Ulwa) is a node of Navi Mumbai located in Raigad District's South Navi Mumbai, situated beside CBD Belapur and Nerul and home to Navi Mumbai International Airport. It is developed and maintained by CIDCO.
Ulwe has a sports complex with football, badminton, hockey, swimming pool, and indoor stadium. Ulwe has seen drastic increase in property rates due to its geographical location and proximity to the Navi Mumbai International Airport (phase 1), Port line connects the node with railways to rest of the city, and MTHL Trans Harbour Link from Sewri to Chirle village in Nhava Sheva was opened to public on 12 January 2024.
Being a newly developing node of Navi Mumbai, many buildings and constructions are being developed in Ulwe. CIDCO buildings are also being constructed in there.
