2.1. Introduction
Mira-Bhayander is a city, in the district of Thane with an area 79 sq. km., in the western state of
Maharashtra, in India, located around 20 kms to the north of Mumbai on the MumbaiAhmedabad
highway. It extends between 18º42’ N to 20º20’ N latitude and 0º25’ E to 73º44’ E.
Mira Road-Bhayander is among the Mumbai metropolitan region's rapidly expanding western
suburbs. Located to the north of the city, the neighbourhood has seen a progressive transition in
terms of both infrastructure and estate development in recent years, but land prices remain cheap.
Over time, this region has seen improvements in physical and social infrastructure, as well as great
road and train access to Mumbai. This region has seen improvements in physical and social
infrastructure throughout time, as well as great road and train access to Mumbai. Upcoming
developments include a fair mix of luxury and inexpensive homes, as well as integrated townships
and support amenities such as schools, colleges, hospitals, shopping malls, and amusement parks.
Mira Road-Bhayander can be a premier site due to continuous construction such as roadways,
subways, flyovers, and drainage system upgrades.
Mira Road-Bhayander is in the Thane district and is managed by Mira Bhayander Municipal
Corporation (MBMC). In comparison to other regions in Mumbai, the location provides adequate
accessibility for everyday travellers and residential property values remain inexpensive.
With Kandivali and Borivali becoming unaffordable, buyers seeking inexpensive housing resort to
Mira Road-Bhayander.
The region is inexpensive, compared to Andheri, and offers all the fundamental facilities like
supermarkets, banks, clinics, vegetable markets, and gyms. It features nice home developments
with lifestyle facilities.
Bhayander is divided into two parts by the Mumbai suburban rail line - East and West. The West
was traditionally residential, and the East was predominantly an industrial area. Recent population
growth and a flurry of construction has blurred the boundaries between Bhayander and neighboring
Mira Road on the East side of the rail tracks, turning it into a populous suburb. Government owned
Salt Pans and marshland in West Mira Road have restricted the southward spread of Bhayander.
Mira road is situated on the island of Salcette. A marshy creek divides Mira Road from Mumbai.
Earlier, Mira Road was divided into two main parts, Shanti Nagar and Naya Nagar. In recent times,
several new localities like Jangid, Silver Park, Beverly Park, and Evershine Enclave have come up.
Shanti Nagar is a cosmopolitan locality

2.2. Site History

Mira Bhayandar is a city which has its own Historic value. It was an important port for business
during past. This port has seen some most important Historic Legends right from Alexander to
Peshwas and some great kings who have travelled through this port. The city is surrounded by big
mountains on both the side boundaries along with Arabian Sea guarding the west side of the city.
The North side of the city is surrounded by Vasai (Basin) Creek. So is the city of Bhayandar
Situated at the Heart of the Nature. As we all know that India was governed by British. British also
came to Bhayandar but it was far time after as Bhayandar and Vasai were governed by Portuguese .
Portuguese were the first one to rule on this part. But British also ruled over Bhayandar for quite
some time. The example of British existence can be seen by the Railway Bridge over Vasai (Basin)
Creek.
Being a neighbouring city of Mumbai, the growth of the city is tremendous still the city has
managed to keep its originality like small scale industries, farming , fishing, sand and salt
cultivation as its major business. The small scale industry situated in Bhayander (E) ranks Third in
Asia. Agri and Koli are the original residents of this city, but there are people of all other Religion
and casts. On 12th June 1985, five Gram panchayats naming Bhayander, Kashi, Mira, Navghar and
Ghodbunder were integrated to form Mira Bhayandar Municipal Council. In 1990 the Council got
extended by including 4 other Gram panchayats naming Chena, Versova, Rai – Murdhe, Dongri –
Uttan. Thus this corporation is made up of 9 Gram panchayats, hence the Mira Bhayandar Logo has
9 stars on it. In 1990 the Council conducted its first election.
