Location: PANVEL

PANVEL

Panvel is a city in the Raigad district of Maharashtra in the Konkan Division. The city is highly populated due to its closeness to Mumbai. Panvel is located in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Panvel is the first Municipal Corporation in Raigad and the 27th Municipal corporation in Maharashtra State.
History
Panvel is about 300 years old, developed around trade routes (both land and sea), during the Mughal rule and hence after by the Marathas, British, and Portuguese. Once upon a time, Panvel was famous for its rice market. Panvel Municipal Council (PMC) was established in the year 1852 and is the oldest municipal council of Maharashtra. Panvel Municipal Council’s elections started in the year 1910. The first mayor of the PMC was Mr. Yusuf Noor Mohammed Master for the years 1910–1916. The sesquicentennial anniversary (150th anniversary) of the PMC was celebrated in the year 2002. The city prospered and grew due to the influence of large-scale trade by land and sea. This was characterized by the large palace-like homes that came up during the Peshwa period. It is also said that the old name of this city was Panel (Panel in Konkani). There were historic cannons (during the time of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj) situated at Panvel port. On 1 October 2016, Panvel Municipal Corporation came into existence.

Transportation
Panvel is an important junction point as many major highways meet and pass through the city. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Sion-Panvel Expressway, NH 4B, and NH 66 start from here while NH 4 passes through Panvel. Roads of New Panvel are maintained by CIDCO while those in Panvel are by PMC. New Panvel, being developed by CIDCO, has well-planned and wide-lane major roads and even the arterial roads are two-lanes. Panvel has relatively less maintained roads which are very congested due to a lack of planning on the part of the PMC.
Proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport
The Navi Mumbai International Airport or “NMIA”, which is to come up around the Panvel-Kopra area, would be built through a public-private partnership (PPP) — with the private sector partner getting 74% equity and Airports Authority of India (AAI) & Maharashtra government, through CIDCO, holding 13% each. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has already given techno-feasibility clearance to the airport and the central cabinet has cleared it. The project is at a global tendering stage. “NMIA” is going to help the locals a lot, with job opportunities, etc. But, construction has not yet begun.
