Thane scores high on the clean and green quotient, thereby making it a desired residential destination for many
The theme for this year's MCHITCREDAI
Property 2016 Thane is `Act Before It Is Too Late' but it seems the said
theme has actually been a reality and in fact, the guiding philosophy
of the region since its inception. The greenery in Thane has been
abundant and clean and green has been like a calling card of the
sub-market.This also raises a fundamental question as to whether Thane
has been blessed by the scenic natural beauty or the developers in this
region have consciously worked to keep it clean and green. Analysts
active in this market believe that it is a combination of both the
factors.Thane is definitely blessed with scenic natural beauty. The
Yeoor Hills in Thane are nature's gift. They make living in Thane more
beautiful and serene. The view of the hills and Sanjay Gandhi National
Park (SGNP) makes Thane a picnic spot and a tourist attraction.There are
many other nature's treats to the city, like its natural lakes and
water bodies.The city has around 30 lakes. The most beautiful of them is
the Masunda Talao. Efforts have been made to beautify these lakes by
cleaning up the water bodies and lacing these lakes with walk areas,
manicured gardens and lawns, boating attractions, constructing sitting
areas for people, etc. On their part, the real estate developers have
undertaken tree plantation programmes at frequent intervals in order to
strengthen the beauty of the city, which has been naturally blessed with
greenery. Dharmesh Jain, chairman and managing director, Nirmal
Lifestyle, adds that Thane is well-planned, clean and the essential
fabric of the green cover that it has, naturally makes it a much
preferred destination. The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has been
tak ing pro-active steps to sustain the greenery in Thane.

velop mangroves.“The forest and green zone now occupy approximately 52
per cent of the total land use within administrative boundaries. Most of
the parts in Thane are covered with natural beauty, especially the
Ghodbunder Road stretch, due to its connectivity with the Sanjay Gandhi
National Park. Also, the real estate developers are opting for a green
building project, which makes this region a green city.Indeed, the
awareness of green buildings in Thane, is now showing a perceptible
leap,“ says Jain. Brotin Banerjee, MD and CEO of Tata Housing, points
out, “People who are looking for a healthy and better quality of life,
prefer Thane as the city that offers a plethora of green spaces along
with social infrastructure required to lead a healthy lifestyle. The
presence of the green zone area and the forest area, adds to the
greenery of the district. Developers have also played an important role
in maintaining the green quotient of the area.“ Shailesh Puranik, MD,
Puranik Builders agrees that spaces designated for parks, open spaces
and green areas, give the city a spread-out and a planned look. “Thane
has been rated well among the clean and green cities in this part of the
continent by national and international agencies. On our part, we are
working towards keeping the reputation consistent and enhancing the
cities' ratings continuously through our efforts. As far as cleanliness
is concerned, Thane is comparatively a clean city. The local municipal
corporation has initiated various programmes to maintain the cleanliness
of the city, including a regular awareness drive for the people of
Thane,“ says Puranik. Since nature's beauty is being supplemented by all
the stakeholders here, there are chances of the region preserving its
'clean and green' tag in the foreseeable future.
