Mumbai, the financial capital of India, has experienced significant real estate growth over the years. This growth can be attributed to rapid urbanisation, a growing economy, infrastructure development, affordable housing, government initiatives, and foreign investment. Despite being one of the most expensive cities in India, Mumbai offers affordable housing options in suburban areas such as Chembur.

Chembur, a suburban neighbourhood in the eastern part of Mumbai, has emerged as one of the city’s most sought-after residential hotspots. Over the years, Chembur has undergone a significant transformation, making it an ideal location for homebuyers and investors. According to a report by a leading real estate consultancy, the average property prices in Chembur have increased by around 15-20% in the past five years.

This blog will explore what makes Chembur one of Mumbai’s residential hotspots.

Connectivity

Chembur is a well-connected neighbourhood in Mumbai and offers easy access to some of the city’s most important business districts, including Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Lower Parel, Andheri, and Navi Mumbai. The Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport is also just a 20-minute drive from Chembur, making it a convenient location for frequent travellers.
Overall, Chembur’s excellent connectivity to these important business districts of Mumbai makes it a convenient location for businesses and professionals looking to establish a base in Mumbai.

The neighbourhood has several reputed schools and colleges, including the Institute of Chemical Technology, India’s premier engineering and research institute. Chembur also has several renowned hospitals and medical centres, providing residents with quality healthcare services.

Affordability

Another key factor contributing to Chembur’s popularity is its affordability. Compared to other premium neighbourhoods in Mumbai, Chembur offers a range of residential properties at more affordable prices, including apartments, villas, and bungalows. This affordability factor has attracted many middle-class families to Chembur, making it a preferred destination for homebuyers.

Open Spaces

Chembur is known for its greenery and open spaces, providing residents with a much-needed respite from the chaos of city life. The neighbourhood has several parks, including the Diamond Garden, Ambedkar Udyan, and Tansa Pipeline Garden, where residents can spend quality time with their families and friends.

Real Estate Development

Chembur has witnessed significant development over the years, with several reputed builders and developers launching residential projects in the neighbourhood. Subhash Nagar and Tilak Nagar in Mumbai have several old societies that are being redeveloped, offering modern amenities and improved living conditions, making these prime locations more attractive for homebuyers and investors.

These projects offer world-class amenities, modern facilities, and premium finishes. Additionally, Chembur’s infrastructure and connectivity have played a crucial role in driving real estate development in the area.

Safety and Security

Chembur is considered a safe and secure neighbourhood with a low crime rate compared to other areas in Mumbai. The neighbourhood has several police stations and CCTV cameras, ensuring the safety and security of the residents.

Chembur has evolved from an industrial area to a premier real estate market

Bangalore, 31st May 2023: Zoomcar, the leading marketplace for car sharing in emerging markets today announced that it now has 5 million+ guests and over 20,000 hosts in its community. Zoomcar with over 20,000 cars on its platform has covered over 2 billion+ kilometres and received plenty of testimonials from its cherished hosts.

Shashi Shekar from Bangalore became a host at Zoomcar after coming across a Facebook advertisement. The advertisement came at the right time, since Shashi, who was working in the automobile sector, had lost his job due to the pandemic. He decided to try earning an additional income and has now become a full-time host in Zoomcar with 4 cars in two years. “I had a Kia Seltos, a new model car with only two thousand kilometres driven at that time, so I decided to give it a try. Now, in a span of two years, I have four cars and plan to add six more by the end of this year. The best part of the Zoomcar platform is that I can see money coming in on a daily basis, which covers all my expenses, including household and family expenses. My financial health has improved, and I have more time to spend with my family. Zoomcar has truly made a positive impact on my life. One of my favorite features is the recently introduced performance dashboard, where I can track the performance and returns of my cars. I’m excited for more introductions from Zoomcar that will benefit both customers and hosts like me”.

Another host who is on Zoomcar, Jagdish Jawar, the owner of an Ayurvedic factory, discovered Zoomcar when he was looking to multiply his income. “I was looking for a safe and futuristic investment that would boost my profits. That’s when I discovered Zoomcar. My friend and I were searching for an opportunity where we could park our investment and earn high returns. Through a friend, we learned about the good business opportunity offered by Zoomcar. We met with some people at Zoomcar and decided to invest in one car. Currently, we have four cars – three Ertigas and one Ciaz – and we can see significant growth. Each car generates around 40,000 INR per month, so with four cars, we’re earning around 1.5 lakhs. We have plans to add more cars, but finding suitable parking facilities is our only obstacle. Based on the performance and data provided by Zoomcar assistance, we intend to add more seven-seaters and automatic cars, as Ertigas have been providing higher returns. Generally, everyone has a five-seater car at home, but when they want to travel with friends or family, a minimum of a seven-seater is required. Therefore, adding seven-seaters to the Zoomcar fleet makes perfect sense”.

Like Jagdish, Dr Nadim Khan, an Ayurvedic skin and hair specialist based in Bangalore, was seeking additional income to match the current cost of living, and decided to take a chance by becoming a host on Zoomcar. “I joined Zoomcar about a year ago after being referred by a friend. I became a Zoom host and now have two top-end diesel cars running on the platform. As you know, the cost of living in Bangalore is very high, so I decided to invest in Zoomcar as an alternate business to generate extra income and cover my daily expenses. My rating as a host is 4.8, and I always ensure that my car is clean, fuelled up, and all the accessories are in working condition to maintain this rating. I believe in providing good service to my guests, and I want to see my car listed on top in the Zoom host app”.

Finally, Vivian Vijay Spinto, a 26-year-old Banker from Mangalore, who discovered Zoomcar while looking for options to earn more, says that it is one of the best platforms for car hosts and those who wish to hire a car. “I work as a banker and have been considering multiple businesses to generate additional income apart from my banking job. I was planning to explore other businesses such as restaurants and other ventures, but I felt that Zoomcar was the best option. I started with one car as a trial and later added three more. Currently, I have four cars and plan to add more in the future. Zoomcar has provided me with a great opportunity and platform to earn additional income. I particularly appreciate features like the guest chat box and the performance calculation dashboard in the Zoomcar application. The guest chat box has been useful as guests have reached out to me for location information and any concerns they might have. I have been able to assist them by promptly responding to their messages. Additionally, the performance analysis dashboard allows me to track my revenue and set aside a portion for maintenance expenses. With the performance dashboard, I can monitor the revenue earned through Zoomcar and allocate a specific amount for expenses. This helps me determine the amount of revenue generated from the car at the end of the day or year. Being a Zoomcar host has been an excellent way for me to start earning a secondary income”.

Naveen Gupta, Country Head, Zoomcar India added “We are very happy to surpass this exciting milestone on our journey toward creating more economic empowerment for our hosts. Zoomcar offers over 1,000 unique SKUs in over 45 cities including transit points like airports and railway stations with a comprehensive portfolio of cars across categories – Hatchbacks, Sedans, MUVs, SUVs, EVs, and Luxury cars. As a platform, we’ve witnessed exceptional growth in the number of hosts using our platform and we expect this to grow even more as more car owners understand the economic benefits of hosting on Zoomcar. Our team continues to be focused on delivering delightful customer experiences for our hosts and guests on the Zoomcar platform”.

Mumbai, India 31st May 2023: Tabreed, the world’s leading global cooling utility player, today announced the signing of an agreement with TATA Realty, a leading Real Estate Developer, to implement its first Cooling as a Service (CaaS) project in India. It’s an alliance to develop a sustainable and efficient cooling infrastructure. This marks Tabreed’s first Cooling as a Service (CaaS) transaction in India entails an investment of approximately INR 100 Cr in TATA Realty’s Intellion Park in Gurugram over a period of time. Tabreed will acquire Intellion Park’s existing cooling infrastructure and undertake Greenfield expansion to increase cooling capacity.

Moving away from the regular market practice wherein real estate developers own and operate their cooling assets through facility management arrangements, through this first of its kind transaction, Tabreed will provide long-term, SLA-based cooling services to Intellion Park with well-defined parameters to improve energy efficiency, asset longevity, system reliability and reduce life cycle costs of cooling for tenants. It is expected that the transaction will result in Tabreed serving as a provider of cooling services for TATA Realty, offering District Cooling or CaaS concessions across its commercial properties.

Sanjay Dutt, MD & CEO of Tata Realty said, “Tata Realty has been at the forefront of promoting sustainable real estate development in India. With numerous achievements, including the country’s first net-zero certified commercial real estate campus, the company has set a high bar for the rest of the industry. In continuation of this trend, Tata Realty’s engaged with Tabreed to launch the first Cooling as a Service (CaaS) project. Our endeavour is to enable the delivery of superior value to occupants, while promoting higher standards of ESG and wellness in commercial and mixed-use real estate developments.”

Khaled Abdulla Al Qubaisi, Chairman of Tabreed, expressed his enthusiasm for the engagement stating: “As the world’s most populous country and one of the fastest growing economies, India will be a key strategic market and important partner for Tabreed as we expand our international presence. We expect to see large-scale adoption of district cooling in India as demand for real estate and cooling grows at a rapid pace. Tabreed is delighted to partner with TATA Realty to develop leading innovative district cooling services which will support sustainable urban development across India. This will unlock value for our stakeholders, while benefitting communities and reducing carbon emissions.”

The India Cooling Action Plan (ICAP) announced by the Ozone Cell of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change forecasted eight-fold increase in aggregated cooling demand for the country by 2037-38, with 45% of the country’s peak energy demand likely to be for cooling by 2050. In addition, ICAP identifies the immediate need for skill development of the country’s HVAC sector with at least 100,000 technicians to be trained in good servicing practices and the new alternative refrigerants as the cooling demand increases.

Sudheer Perla, Country Manager of Tabreed India, said, “Long-term, green financing delivered through innovative and bespoke business models such as CaaS will play a crucial role in scaling up the transition to a greener economy, especially for the built environment. Currently, developers are allocating huge sums of capital on HVAC systems for new buildings as well as highly-inefficient existing buildings to achieve their net zero goals, all whilst competing with and balancing other demands on their capex. Through demonstrating the value of CaaS at Intellion Park, we hope to pave the way for more rapid adoption of district cooling in India, easing the burden of upfront costs for developers to inspire more sustainable cooling solutions for the Indian real estate sector, which is set to witness fastest global increase in cooling-related energy demand in the coming decades.”
