🏙️ Lodha Palava City
India’s fastest-growing planned city — 4,500 acres, 3.5 lakh residents
What is Palava City?
Palava City is Lodha Group’s vision of India’s first smart planned city — located along the Kalyan-Shil Road in Dombivli East. It is arguably the most ambitious residential development project ever undertaken in India, spanning 4,500 acres with an eventual capacity of 3.5 lakh residents.
Unlike typical housing projects, Palava is a self-sufficient city: it has its own schools (Cambridge International affiliated Palava City Schools), hospital (Lodha Healthcare), sports complex, retail malls, office parks, and even a cricket ground. Think of it as a new city built from scratch alongside Mumbai.
The city is accessible via the Kalyan-Shil Road and will gain direct metro connectivity via Line 12. If you’re looking for township living at an affordable price with strong capital appreciation potential, Palava stands out as a unique proposition.

💰 Is Palava a Good Investment?
Strong Appreciation
Properties in Palava Phase 1 (Casa Rio) have appreciated 40–60% from launch prices. Active and growing community drives demand.
Self-Sufficient
Residents rarely need to leave Palava for daily needs — school, grocery, healthcare all on campus. Ideal for remote workers and families.
Commute Reality
Palava is ~8 km from Dombivli station. The internal shuttle runs regularly, but daily commuters to Mumbai should factor in 75–90 min total travel.
Long-Term Vision
Palava is a 20-year build-out. Early buyers benefit the most as the city fills in. Still ongoing phases available at good prices.
