Mumbai, 13 Jan 2026 :
House of Hiranandani has released an AI-led visualisation titled “Future Routes, Future
Thane” to show how upcoming transport infrastructure is expected
to improve connectivity from Thane over the next few years. The film uses
AI-generated images and videos, combined with Government-approved project data,
to explain how new tunnels, metro lines, expressways, and airport corridors are
likely to reduce travel time between Thane and key parts of the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region.
Anchored around House of Hiranandani’s Westgate
project in Thane, this initiative is designed to help prospective homebuyers
evaluate the long-term impact of upcoming infrastructure on daily mobility,
connectivity, and the location’s overall livability.
The visualisation focuses on seven major transport
corridors that are expected to converge around Thane, positioning Thane as a
well-connected residential location within the MMR. The approach highlights
multiple access routes rather than dependence on a single road or rail line,
which has traditionally been a challenge for commuters.
This infrastructure-led transformation of Thane aligns
closely with the Government of India’s Vision 2030, which focuses on
building future-ready cities through integrated mobility, multi-modal transport
networks, and transit-oriented urban development. Under this vision, large-scale
investments in metros, highways, expressways, and airport corridors are
intended to reduce congestion, improve commute reliability, and support
decentralised urban growth across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Projects such
as Metro Routes 4 and 5, the Thane-Borivali Twin Tube Tunnel, and the
Thane-Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) Elevated Road reflect this
broader national objective creating cities where infrastructure planning
directly improves everyday mobility, economic access, and long-term liveability
for residents.

According to the House of Hiranandani, the combined
impact of these projects goes beyond shorter travel time. Improved connectivity
is expected to make employment hubs, commercial districts, and social
infrastructure easier to access, while reducing daily travel uncertainty for
residents.
The AI-based film differs from traditional real estate
communication by relying on verified infrastructure data instead of lifestyle
imagery. It overlays planned routes, project timelines, and traffic simulations
to show how congestion levels are expected to change as new corridors become
operational.
“Homes are increasingly being evaluated on
connectivity and commute predictability,” said Mr. Prashin Jhobalia, Chief
Marketing Officer, House of Hiranandani. “This visualisation uses AI and
publicly available data to show how upcoming infrastructure can impact daily
travel, helping buyers make more informed decisions.”
The connectivity framework presented for Thane is
similar to transit-led development models seen in cities such as Singapore and
London, where large-scale infrastructure investments have supported residential
growth and long-term demand.
By focusing on how future infrastructure affects daily
mobility, the initiative addresses a key concern for urban homebuyers—how a
location will perform as cities expand. As Mumbai’s growth increasingly spreads
across multiple centres, infrastructure-led planning is expected to play a
larger role in residential decision-making.
