MMRDA has appointed Singapore-based Surbana Jurong Infrastructure to develop the vision, master plan and planning framework for Mumbai 3.0. Covering 323.44 sq. km across 124 villages, the initiative is positioned to shape a new urban and economic growth corridor linked to major transport, aviation, port and infrastructure assets.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has formally initiated the master planning process for Mumbai 3.0 after signing a consultancy agreement with Singapore-headquartered Surbana Jurong Infrastructure Pte. Ltd. The assignment covers preparation of the project's Vision Document, Master Plan and broader planning framework, with the first phase scheduled for completion within 30 weeks.
The planned development spans 323.44 sq. km and includes 124 villages across Panvel, Uran and Pen. Its location places the emerging urban zone close to the Atal Setu, Navi Mumbai International Airport and Jawaharlal Nehru Port, creating a strategic link between future residential and commercial districts and established transport, logistics and industrial infrastructure.
The consultancy is expected to establish the long-term framework for land use, mobility networks, utilities, digital infrastructure, sustainability, Transit-Oriented Development and mixed-use districts. The plan will also consider the area's potential as a new centre for economic activity, incorporating residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and logistics-oriented development.
The appointment is significant because Mumbai's future expansion increasingly depends on coordinated development beyond the existing urban core. A structured framework for Mumbai 3.0 could help align transport investment, land development and utility infrastructure while supporting more integrated growth across the eastern and southern parts of the wider metropolitan region. It may also create a pipeline of opportunities for construction, engineering, infrastructure, real estate, logistics and urban technology companies.
MMRDA is the statutory regional planning and infrastructure development authority responsible for coordinating major projects and metropolitan development across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Surbana Jurong Infrastructure is part of the Singapore-based Surbana Jurong Group and provides planning, engineering and infrastructure consultancy services internationally.
For businesses and investors, the planning exercise provides an early indication of the infrastructure and land-use priorities likely to influence Mumbai 3.0. The area's proximity to an international airport, major port facilities and the Atal Setu could strengthen its potential as an integrated logistics and economic corridor. Detailed planning decisions on connectivity, utilities, industrial zones and mixed-use development will be important in determining the scale and timing of future private-sector participation.
The consultancy agreement therefore represents a transition from the broader Mumbai 3.0 concept toward a defined planning framework. As the master plan develops, subsequent infrastructure and development decisions are expected to provide greater visibility into the projects, investment areas and supporting services that could emerge across the 323.44 sq. km development area.
