What Is
NAINA Smart City
NAINA stands for Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area.
The Government of Maharashtra appointed CIDCO as the Special Planning Authority to develop this massive region surrounding the Navi Mumbai International Airport. The objective was to prevent unplanned growth and instead create a world-class urban region with proper infrastructure, roads, utilities, commercial districts, educational hubs, logistics zones and residential neighbourhoods.
Unlike traditional city expansion, NAINA follows a planned development model where infrastructure is created before large-scale urbanisation occurs.
