Kopar Khairane is the fourth railway station on the Thane
-Turbhe
-Nerul
/Vashi
Railway Line which was commissioned on 9 November 2004.It is situated at a distance of 12 km from Thane
railway station and 7 km from Vashi
railway station.
The railway station is located in Sector 8A of the node. It is accessible from both the Thane-Belapur
Road on the eastern side and the Kopar Khairane node on the western side.
On the Thane-Belapur Road side of the station is located the enormous Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge Center
City (DAKC), the headquarters of Reliance Communications
- the largest CDMA telecom operator in India.
Also located closely is Millennium Business Park (MBP) which houses software consulting companies such as Patni Computer Systems, Mastek Ltd, L&T Infotech, L&T Control & Automation Unit, 3Di Systems, Hexaware Technologies Ltd., Object Edge India etc. It also has huge residential towers such as Balaji Gardens and FAM Society Ltd.
As of 2008, there were 17 services a day on this rail line in either direction. They are proposed to be expanded in future.
Currently (since JAN 2009) there are 45 services on either side from Vashi and Thane. It takes less than twenty minutes to reach Thane. And also 16 services on either side from Nerul
and Thane started since JAN 2009. It takes hardly 15 minutes to reach Nerul. Also (since JAN 2009) two services on either side from Panvel and Thane have started - it just takes thirty-eight minutes to reach Panvel.
There is an upcoming demand for a new bridge over the Thane creek from Kopar Khairane to Kannamwar Nagar in Vikroli, Mumbai
off the eastern express highway so as to connect the eastern suburbs of Mumbai. This will establish a much desired third bridge linking Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
As in the rest of Navi Mumbai
, the real estate prices in Kopar Khairane have sky rocketed. One factor that has ostensibly led to this is the announcement by Reliance Industries that it is going to build the biggest corporate house in the world here. This corporate house would be located in the huge tract of land in Kopar Khairane and Ghansoli
.
The current rates as on 1 Sept 2011 range between Rs.7000 to 8000 per square feet for residential properties. Sector 11 is the costliest sector of Kopar Khairane. This sector has three major residential societies (viz. FAM, Balaji & Kalash Udyan). This node is a centre place for the Thane-Vashi, Thane-Dadar and Vashi-Kurla railway lines.
There are several new eateries that have opened up there including Star Cafe, Varishta, Pancha Ratna and Food Junction, Arabian kitchen.
