The CREDAI-MCHI Dronagiri Unit has heralded a new era in its leadership with the appointment of Rakesh Prajapati as President, following an inaugural Change of Guard event. This transition marks a pivotal moment for the unit, as Prajapati takes over from the esteemed Deep Rajpal, the founding President who has significantly contributed to the establishment of the unit.
Dronagiri and the neighbouring Uran area, nestled in the Raigad district and adjacent to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), are increasingly viewed as prime hotspots for real estate investment within the Navi Mumbai region. Dronagiri, in particular, is gaining traction due to its strategic location near one of India’s largest ports, which is expected to catalyse substantial economic growth and attract investment. Both Dronagiri and Uran stand on the brink of transformation, buoyed by major infrastructure initiatives such as the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) and the Mumbai-Trans Harbour Link (MTHL). These projects are poised to enhance connectivity, stimulating economic activity and positioning these areas as key players in the real estate market.
The CREDAI-MCHI developers are actively committed to the structured development of these regions, focusing on modernising infrastructure and facilitating community-oriented planning. Their efforts aim to meet the rising demand for both affordable and premium housing, ensuring that the real estate landscape remains organised and sustainable. Rakesh Prajapati expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to lead the Dronagiri Unit, emphasising a proactive approach during his tenure. “I am honoured to succeed Deep Rajpal, whose contributions have laid a solid foundation for our unit. My focus will be on the comprehensive development of Dronagiri and Uran. We will hold regular monthly meetings to address pressing issues and organise educational seminars quarterly to keep members informed about industry advancements. Site visits to prominent builders will be part of our agenda to learn about the latest technologies in use.”
Moreover, Prajapati highlighted plans to increase the visibility of Dronagiri and Uran through festival celebrations, sports events with the broader CREDAI-MCHI community, and participation in initiatives by other local associations. The unit will also engage with CIDCO and the Government of Maharashtra to advocate for necessary developments and address local concerns. As Dronagiri and Uran continue to emerge as focal points for real estate activity, the CREDAI-MCHI’s role is crucial in shaping these regions into well-planned urban hubs. The combination of strong leadership under Prajapati and ongoing infrastructure improvements positions these areas for sustained growth, which is essential for meeting the housing demands of a burgeoning population.
