Situated in the Raigad district and adjacent to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), Dronagiri is emerging as a key area for real estate investment, benefiting from its proximity to one of India's largest ports. Both Dronagiri and Uran are poised to experience significant transformation with major infrastructure projects like the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) and the Mumbai-Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) underway. These developments are expected to enhance connectivity, drive economic growth, and attract investment.

CREDAI-MCHI developers are actively involved in the organised development of Dronagiri and Uran, ensuring that the real estate market in these areas is well-structured and sustainable. Their efforts include overseeing the integration of modern infrastructure, facilitating planned community development, and addressing the increasing demand for affordable and high-quality housing. By playing a crucial role in shaping the development of Uran and Dronagiri as a planned city of these emerging nodes.

Mr. Domnic Romell, President of CREDAI-MCHI, expressed, "CREDAI-MCHI has always played a significant role in the development of Dronagiri and Uran, supporting both the chapter and individual initiatives. We will ensure that all necessary support is provided to the CREDAI-MCHI Dronagiri Unit to foster growth and drive development in these areas."

Mr. Vijay Singhal, Managing Director of CIDCO Ltd, Navi Mumbai, shared his views at the event, "I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Rakesh Prajapati, the new President of CREDAI-MCHI Dronagiri Unit. The next two years will be crucial for the development of Dronagiri and Uran, marking a period of significant growth. With the completion of key infrastructure projects such as the Mumbai-Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) and the ongoing work on the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), these areas are poised for tremendous potential. The airport, which recently saw the calibration of its navigation system, is progressing well, with one runway already completed. Efforts to enhance connectivity, including new metro lines and road networks, are actively underway and will be completed as planned. The development of Dronagiri and Uran, supported by these transportation facilities, will attract substantial investment and open up numerous growth opportunities."

Rakesh Prajapati, President of CREDAI-MCHI Dronagiri Unit, said, "It gives me immense honour to take over as President from Deep Rajpal, who has done wonderful work as the Founder President. During my tenure, I plan to focus on the development of Dronagiri and Uran. We will hold regular monthly meetings to discuss all major issues and organise educative seminars at least once a quarter to benefit all members on various important topics. We will visit prominent builder sites and offices to learn about the new technologies being used in the industry. Additionally, we will organise festival events, participate in sports events with CREDAI-MCHI main, and actively promote Dronagiri and Uran to increase the exposure of these micro markets. Our unit will also participate in events organised by other associations in Navi Mumbai and engage in all activities of CREDAI-MCHI main. We will continue to represent our issues with CIDCO, the Government of Maharashtra, the airport authority, and all related authorities to resolve our issues."
