Navi Mumbai residents now have a rare opportunity to directly purchase ready-to-move homes under a first-come, first-served (FCFS) scheme introduced by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO). The initiative offers 4,508 fully constructed units across five nodes — Taloja, Dronagiri, Ghansoli, Kharghar, and Kalamboli — with online registrations commencing on 22 November 2025 at 4 pm.
The scheme allocates 1,115 homes for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and 3,393 units for the Low-Income Group (LIG). Eligible EWS buyers can avail a subsidy of ₹2.5 lakh under PMAY, enhancing affordability. CIDCO vice-chairman and managing director described the FCFS approach as a “golden opportunity,” enabling applicants to select their preferred unit without relying on lottery draws, and emphasised that immediate possession would follow full documentation and payment. Officials highlighted that all units are equipped with essential amenities and strategically located with strong connectivity to the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), suburban rail lines, metro networks, and key highways. “This scheme is designed not only to provide housing but also to integrate residents into a sustainably planned urban ecosystem,” an official explained, noting CIDCO’s long-term commitment to inclusive city development.
The registration process will remain open until 21 December, allowing home seekers to begin unit selection from 28 December at 11 am. With allotments strictly based on the order of registration, CIDCO urged applicants to act promptly to secure their desired homes. The corporation has also ensured transparent disclosure of unit sizes, pricing, and associated documentation via its official portal to facilitate informed decision-making. Industry experts note that the FCFS model marks a significant shift in urban housing allocation, prioritising speed and choice over conventional lottery-based schemes. Analysts also observed that the initiative aligns with Navi Mumbai’s broader vision of providing affordable, well-planned residential options near emerging commercial and transport hubs, fostering balanced urban growth.
While the scheme targets affordability and convenience, planners emphasise the importance of sustainable infrastructure integration. Close proximity to transit corridors, careful urban planning, and community amenities are expected to reduce commute times, lower carbon footprints, and support equitable city living. By combining immediate availability with strategic location and subsidy support, the FCFS scheme is likely to attract strong interest from buyers across income categories. CIDCO’s approach reflects an evolving urban strategy that blends efficiency, inclusivity, and long-term sustainability in Navi Mumbai’s residential landscape.
