Navi Mumbai was conceived as a satellite city to Mumbai. With reports of the city having a literacy rate of 98%, an average income of Rs 25,000 per month and 64% of the households owning vehicles, Navi Mumbai has huge growth potential. The presence of several established nodes and many newer areas opening up, mean that Navi Mumbai is no longer in the shadow of Mumbai. Panvel is arguably one of the strongest nodes of the city, responsible for this sea change.
