The 2025 Market Reality
Thane, a unique micro-market within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, still offers the opportunity to purchase a well-planned 1 BHK for under ₹65 lakh. This affordability presents a promising opportunity for potential buyers — but it’s vital to act soon, as this window is gradually closing.
Since 2022, prices have risen by approximately 46% (ANAROCK Q2 2025) as metro expansion and expressway connectivity transform accessibility.
Compact apartments between 380 – 500 sq.ft. carpet remain available across the Metro Line 4 Thane Corridor (Gaimukh – Cadbury Junction), the Thane Upper Belt (Mankoli – Anjur | Thane–Nashik Highway – TDLR Corridor), and redeveloping pockets in Kalwa.
Values shown are indicative for both resale and new projects, varying by developer grade, amenities, and possession timeline.
Average Price Benchmarks (Q2 2025)
| Micro-Market | Avg Price (₹/sq.ft.) | Typical 1 BHK Carpet (sq.ft.) | Ticket Size (₹ lakh) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anand Nagar / Owale | 10,500 – 11,500 | 400 – 500 | 55 – 62 |
| Waghbil / Kasarvadavali (Metro Line 4 Thane Corridor) | 10,800 – 12,500 | 380 – 520 | 55 – 65 |
| Dhokali / Balkum | 13,000 – 14,500 | 420 – 480 | 60 – 68 |
| Thane Upper Belt (Mankoli – Anjur | Thane–Nashik Highway – TDLR Corridor) | 11,000 – 13,000 (A-grade) | 400 – 500 | 55 – 65 |
| Kalwa | 9,500 – 10,000 | 380 – 470 | 48 – 60 |

Key Corridors Under ₹ 65 Lakh
Anand Nagar – Owale (Ghodbunder Mid-Belt)
Balanced pricing with strong social infrastructure and metro adjacency. Ready 1 BHKs (400–500 sq.ft.) average ₹55–62 lakh, with rental yields between ₹16,000–20,000 per month.
Waghbil – Kasarvadavali – Metro Line 4 Thane Corridor (Gaimukh – Cadbury Junction)
Trial runs have begun on the Thane stretch of Metro Line 4, with a phased public opening expected in mid-2026. Compact 1 BHKs (380–520 sq.ft.) remain Thane’s most active starter segment.
Dhokali – Balkum (Near Core Thane City)
Limited land availability keeps rates firm (₹13,000–14,500 psf). Resale units below ₹65 lakh are rare but centrally located and highly liquid.
Thane Upper Belt (Mankoli – Anjur Axis | Thane–Nashik Highway – TDLR Corridor)
Now connected through the 8-lane Thane–Nashik Expressway linking to the Samruddhi Mahamarg. A-grade developments feature schools, markets, and open spaces. Typical carpet ≈ 400–500 sq.ft.; pricing ranges between ₹11,000–13,000 psf.
Kalwa
A redevelopment hotspot with station modernisation and bridge links to Airoli. Resale units are available in the ₹48–60 lakh range.
Infrastructure Catalysts (2025 Status)
- Metro Line 4 Thane Corridor (Gaimukh – Cadbury Junction)
- Metro Line 5 (Thane – Bhiwandi – Kalyan)
- Thane–Dombivli Link Road (TDLR)
- Thane–Nashik Expressway
- Thane–NMIA Elevated Corridor
Collectively, these projects reinforce Thane as MMR’s most infrastructure-driven residential market, promising significant connectivity upgrades that will enhance long-term property value.
Our Analysis
- Carpet Reality: Most 1 BHKs range from 380–500 sq.ft.
- Metro Line 4 Corridor: Ideal for rental income and short-term appreciation.
- Thane Upper Belt: Clean environment, planned amenities, and lower entry pricing make it a strategic investment zone.
- Kalwa: Strong value proposition for resale buyers targeting Navi Mumbai connectivity.
