Top 15 Projects That Are Bang For Your Buck In These Growth Corridors

In the next few years, many infrastructure projects that were proposed long ago in Mumbai, would materialise. Economists who study the city tend to agree that every thousand rupees spent on infrastructure in Mumbai would unlock land worth millions of rupees or much more.

Here are the top projects in these areas that promise great value to investors and home buyers alike:
