Thane district holds 7,627 published MahaRERA projects, second only to Pune's 13,790 and ahead of Mumbai Suburban's 6,794. Only about a third of them sit in the taluka that carries the city's name, and even that taluka stretches from Thane city to Mira-Bhayandar and the northern half of Navi Mumbai. Anyone reading the Thane property market by the city alone is reading a fraction of it. The register lets a buyer read the whole district, corridor by corridor.
Key takeaways
- As updated on 3 October 2026, Thane district has 7,627 published MahaRERA projects: 2,717 in Thane taluka, 2,140 in Kalyan, 1,651 in Ambarnath and the rest in five smaller talukas.

The question this data answers
A buyer in the Thane market is usually choosing a corridor before a project: the city itself, the Ghodbunder side, Mira-Bhayandar, the Kalyan and Dombivli belt, or the newer stretches beyond Ambernath. Prices are quoted by brokers and research houses, but the register answers a different set of questions. How much is being built where, how projects in each corridor have ended, how far their dates have moved, and how much of what is under construction has found buyers. MahaRERA files no prices, so those questions are the ones this data can answer, and they are the ones a price list leaves out.
Where the projects are

Thane taluka is three markets in one filing. Reading the locality each project files, about 1,590 are in Thane city and its surrounds, about 600 in Mira-Bhayandar and about 520 on the Thane district side of Navi Mumbai, which Navi Mumbai after the airport covers in its own right. Kalyan taluka is mostly the Kalyan and Dombivli belt, and Ambarnath taluka holds Ambernath and Badlapur. Together, Kalyan and Ambarnath hold more projects than Thane taluka itself.
How they have ended
| Taluka | Projects | Active | Completed | Lapsed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thane | 2,717 | 44.5% | 36.3% | 18.3% |
| Kalyan | 2,140 | 41.9% | 31.1% | 23.2% |
| Ambarnath | 1,651 | 33.2% | 44.9% | 21.5% |
| Bhiwandi | 484 | 54.5% | 19.4% | 24.8% |
| Shahapur | 250 | 37.2% | 19.6% | 40.0% |
| Ulhasnagar | 162 | 27.2% | 33.3% | 37.7% |
| Thane district | 7,627 | 41.1% | 34.9% | 22.3% |
The district's Lapsed share, 22.3 percent, is a little below the state's 24.8 percent. Inside Thane taluka it is lower still in the Navi Mumbai nodes (about 14 percent) and higher in Mira-Bhayandar (about 24 percent). Shahapur and Ulhasnagar, smaller and older markets, carry the highest Lapsed shares. A Lapsed status is not the same as an abandoned building, as lapsed, revoked, deregistered explains: many lapsed projects were built and never closed on the register.
One cluster stands apart. Sixty-five of the district's 70 revoked registrations are in Kalyan taluka, in Dombivli and the villages around it, and 49 of them were registered in 2021. Dombivli is also where the municipal corporation found developers had filed building permissions it never issued, the case checking a permission at its source tells in full. The register does not record why each registration was revoked; MahaRERA's order behind each one does. The Kalyan, Ambarnath and Ulhasnagar belt is read node by node in the Kalyan-Dombivli property market.
What is being built now

Thane taluka carries half the district's units under construction and the highest sold share among the large talukas. Ambarnath's low share suggests much of its supply is recent: a fifth of what is being built there has found buyers so far. The district keeps adding to it. It registered 676 new projects in 2025, second only to Pune, and 479 in 2026 to 3 October, of which 204 are in Thane taluka, 119 in Kalyan and 102 in Ambarnath. MahaRERA's own count for 2025-26 put Thane district at 1,714 approvals of all kinds, new registrations, extensions and corrections together, second to Pune's 3,150.
Research houses describe the same pressure from the price side. ANAROCK's July 2025 report on Thane city counted 65,800 homes launched there from 2019-20 to 2024-25, put the city's average price at Rs 19,800 a sq ft in the April to June quarter of 2025 against Rs 13,550 three years earlier, and found 2BHKs at 45 percent of new supply and 1BHKs at 42 percent.
How far dates have moved
Thane's dates behave much like the state's. Of 7,626 Thane district projects filing both dates, 23.9 percent now promise possession later than they first did, against 22.6 percent statewide, and 1,908 projects (25.0 percent) carry at least one extension granted on application, against 23.8 percent statewide. The project-level reading of both numbers is in MahaRERA's possession delay data and what a project's extension record says.
An analogy: one line, many stations
Judging the Thane market by Thane city is like judging a suburban railway line by its busiest station. The station tells you how crowded the trains are, not where the line goes or which stops are still being built. The register is the timetable for every station on the line.
Meera widens the map
Meera (illustrative, as our stories always are) started her search for a 3BHK in Thane city, where she has lived for years and where she keeps her older flat. Every project she liked there sat at a price her budget could not reach, so she opened the district instead of the city. The taluka view showed her where most of the building was happening, and the status table showed her which corridors had a history of projects closing properly. Names and numbers in this story are illustrative.
Her shortlist ended in a KDMC tower near Dombivli. She read its filing the way she had learned to: the status, the extension record, the permission chain, and the further commencement certificate for its upper floors, which she waited for before paying a booking amount.
Unit counts are filed on 41.3 percent of Thane district's projects overall, though on 84.1 percent of those still Active. A sold share is a reading of the projects that file, not of the whole district, and MahaRERA files no prices at all.
What this means for you
- Read the taluka, not the city name. Thane taluka alone mixes three markets, and Kalyan and Ambarnath together hold more projects than it does.
- Use the status mix as history, not a verdict. A corridor's Lapsed share says how its projects have closed on the register, not how yours will.
- Check status by name. A revoked registration has been cancelled by the regulator; the status and the order behind it are on the project's filing.
- Watch new supply where you are buying. Ambarnath's young pipeline and Thane taluka's large one are different markets for a buyer negotiating.
What the report adds for one project
ReraGenie's free Thane district page lists every registration, breaks the district down by taluka and shows which bodies sanction building there. The Rs 499 buyer report reads one project in that context: the projects within 2 km of it, its construction pace against other recent projects in the district, its possession story from the first promised date to the current one, and the promoter's other registrations and how each ended. To hear about new projects as they register, set district alerts for Thane, free during the pilot beta.
Methodology and sources
- ReraGenie analysis of 56,068 published MahaRERA registrations, 7,627 of them filed in Thane district, as updated on 3 October 2026. Talukas are as filed; "Murbad and other filed names" groups Murbad (59) with 164 projects filed under two other taluka names.
- Thane taluka's split by Thane city, Mira-Bhayandar and Navi Mumbai is read from each project's filed village and locality, and is approximate.
- Sold or booked shares count units in Active projects that file the building table; revisions compare the first filed completion date with the current one; extensions exclude the common extension of 7 August 2026.
- New registrations by year use the registration date; 2026 runs to 3 October.
- ANAROCK Research, "Thane: The Rising Star of MMR Real Estate", July 2025, as reported by PTI.
- MahaRERA's 2025-26 approvals by district, as reported by Outlook Money in 2026.
