Area Overview
What makes Kolshet Road special
Kolshet Road is a corridor rather than a neighbourhood — it runs from the Ghodbunder Road side down toward the Thane creek at Kolshet, linking the growth corridor to the waterfront.
It has become one of Thane’s main township belts in its own right, built largely on former industrial land, with several of the city’s largest gated developments along it.
Character changes along its length: the upper end near Ghodbunder Road is better connected, while the creek end is quieter with water outlook but further from the station and the highway.
