About Bhiwandi, Thane
Bhiwandi is a city in Thane district, north-east of Thane and north-west of Kalyan, on the Mumbai-Nashik highway. The Bhiwandi-Nizampur City Municipal Corporation governs the city itself, while the villages around it in Bhiwandi taluka fall under separate planning. Thane lies across the creek to the south-west, and the Ulhas river and Kalyan are to the south-east.
Bhiwandi has long been known for its power looms, and it has also become one of the country's largest warehousing and logistics hubs, serving e-commerce companies and distributors for the Mumbai region. That shapes daily life: the highway and link roads carry a large number of trucks, and congestion is a constant complaint. The city had about 8.7 lakh residents by 2021 estimates. The Panjrapur water treatment plant, one of the largest in Asia, is nearby. Housing in the old city is dense and mostly older, while newer gated projects with 1 and 2 BHK flats have come up on the outskirts, especially on the Kalyan and Thane sides, where buyers get more space for the money than in Thane. Most buyers are first-time owners and families working in Thane, Kalyan or the logistics belt. Metro Line 5 from Thane, whose first phase ends at Dhamankar Naka in Bhiwandi, is under construction.
