The western suburbs area, known for its rising infrastructure and strategic location, has emerged as a hotbed for real estate activity.
Mr. Himanshu Jain, VP - Sales, Marketing and CRM, Satellite Developers Pvt. Ltd.

The substantial upgrade in infrastructure projects across Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) have notably improved connectivity.
