Airoli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Airoli is a suburb in the city of Navi Mumbai. Around 21 min by bus and 8-10 min by train from Thane and 20 min from Bhandup, or Mulund it is also accessible by the railway line from Thane to Vashi.

The best way of travelling to Airoli is by the Thane-Vashi railway line from either Thane or Vashi; or by catching a bus from Mulund east / Vashi.

You can catch Bus No 100 (NMMT) or Bus No 513 (BEST) from Mulund (East) to reach Airoli.

Airoli has a few industries, a small residential population and one engineering college, the Datta Meghe College. Datta Meghe college or just the 'Datta Meghe' as it is known is Airoli is one of the best colleges in Navi Mumbai.

Real estate prices are booming in Airoli. Previously considered as a middle class locality, Airoli was always within the reach of the common man. Now the Airoli Knowledge Park is contributing to growth. Patni Computer Systems has set up new center here.

Much of the success of Airoli should be attributed to the Mulund-Airoli bridge. Mulund is Mumbai's thriving suburb and being connected to Mulund via Mulund-Airoli bridge really made Airoli more accessible. Earlier, even Datta Meghe college students found it tough to commute from Thane station. NMMT Buses were introduced which made Airoli a familiar place in Navi Mumbai. However, the Mulund-Airoli bridge and the recently started train service from Thane has really put Airoli on the map of Navi Mumbai.

On the west Airoli is directly connected to the Nahur station of the Central Railways by Mulund-Airoli bridge.
