HIRANANDANI NERAL — New Project Coming Up in Neral, Raigad
Hiranandani Neral — Hillside Living in Raigad
Hiranandani is bringing tranquil hillside villas combining heritage charm with modern comfort to Neral, a town in the Raigad district of Maharashtra. The project adds to the group's expansion into secondary markets and retreat destinations beyond metropolitan Mumbai.
The Location: Neral
Neral is a peaceful town in Maharashtra's Raigad district, nestled inside the magnificent Sahyadri range. The town is roughly 42 kilometers from Panvel and about 80 km from Mumbai, positioning it as a accessible retreat for second-home buyers and weekend getaway seekers.
The unique hill station of Matheran is just 6 km from the main town, making Neral a gateway to one of Maharashtra's most recognized hill destinations. The town is served by a narrow-gauge rail line and acts as a vital railroad junction, facilitating travel to Matheran via the iconic Matheran-Neral Toy Train.
Connectivity and Infrastructure
Neral, located in Maharashtra's Raigad district, serves as a pivotal junction between Mumbai and Pune, boasting connectivity to major cities like Panvel, Thane, and Pune. The town is linked by NH4, Karjat-Murbad Road, and Neral-Badlapur Road, providing direct road access to surrounding employment and commercial centers.
The Mumbai railway system's Central Line (Mumbai-Karjat line) passes via Neral Junction, offering rail connectivity for commuters. The Maharashtra State Road Transportation Corporation (MSRTC) provides high-speed services to Mumbai and Pune.
Market Context and Hiranandani's Footprint
Neral's burgeoning real estate market appeals to investors due to its affordability, proximity to Mumbai, and upcoming infrastructure projects. The demand for housing in Neral is mostly being driven by buyers of second homes and holiday properties.
Hiranandani Group was founded in 1978 and has spread its footprints in newer markets like Thane, Panvel, Alibaug, Khandala, Chennai, Ahmedabad and Pune. The developer's move into Neral aligns with its strategic expansion into leisure and secondary-market destinations across Maharashtra.
Most Hiranandani Group projects include residential towers, retail zones, healthcare, education spaces, and leisure areas within one planned ecosystem, reflecting the group's mixed-use development approach.
