The Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) is one of the most significant urban planning projects in India, managed by CIDCO (City and Industrial Development Corporation). Given your work with City Prop in Navi Mumbai, this township is a core part of the region’s future, as it is designed to prevent unplanned growth around the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA).

•  Objective: To create a planned “Third Mumbai” that supports the airport, JNPT port, and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL).
•  Special Planning Authority: CIDCO is the sole authority responsible for its planning and infrastructure.

2. The 60:40 Land Pooling Model

Unlike traditional land acquisition where the government buys land, NAINA uses a Town Planning Scheme (TPS):

•  Landowner Contribution (60%): Landowners surrender 60% of their land to CIDCO. This land is used for city-level infrastructure like 30-meter wide roads, parks, schools, and hospitals.
•  Returned Land (40%): In exchange, CIDCO returns 40% of the land to the owner as a “Final Plot.”
• Development Rights (FSI): To compensate for the land “lost,” CIDCO provides a high FSI of 2.5 on the remaining 40% land. This allows for high-density residential and commercial development, significantly increasing the land’s value.
