Manohar Shroff, senior vice president of MCHI Credai Navi Mumbai, anticipates heightened competition among developers due to CIDCO's increased plot availability. However, he advises homebuyers to ensure that they invest only in RERA-registered projects. "Homebuyers must verify before making an investment," cautions Shroff.
The removal of height restrictions on buildings in Navi Mumbai has led to increased land prices.
