CRZ Clearance in Vashi, Navi Mumbai.
CRZ Clearance for Vashi: read against this area's own ground, not the city's average.
Why Vashi
The ground this work sits on here.
- Area
- Vashi, Navi Mumbai
- Practice
- Environment Approvals
- Typically for
- Projects within the Coastal Regulation Zone
Vashi's western sectors look over the creek, and some plots there lie within the coastal regulation lines or within fifty metres of mapped mangroves. Rebuilding on such a plot may need MCZMA to recommend it before the corporation will act. Buildings near the water often predate the rules, but their replacements are judged afresh. We check the survey number on the sanctioned CZMP sheet and the mangrove survey, and where either touches the plot, prepare the CRZ papers with measured distances and the site controls the authority will look for.
Vashi was the first CIDCO node to be settled, at the Navi Mumbai end of the road bridge over Thane Creek, and it is still the city's busiest centre. Its sectors hold low-rise CIDCO housing put up in the seventies and eighties, much of it now due for rebuilding, alongside newer towers, malls, hospitals and the offices clustered around the railway station. The APMC wholesale markets, which moved here from south Mumbai in stages, trade produce, grain, spices and flowers for the whole region every night. Mangroves line the creek on its western side. Half a century on, Vashi is being rebuilt from within.

CRZ Clearance in Vashi: common questions.
01Our building near the creek predates the CRZ rules. Does rebuilding it need CRZ clearance?
It can. A redevelopment is new construction and is judged under the notification in force today, although reconstruction of existing buildings is treated more lightly in some zones. Which case applies depends on how the plot is classified on the CZMP. We check the classification and tell the society which route it faces.
02How long does crz clearance take in Vashi?
On timing: 4–8 months, subject to mapping, scrutiny & MCZMA schedule. A realistic Vashi schedule is set once the site and the scope have been read, and the work is carried through to the outcome by the same named people.
