Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate's presence in this market is anchored by Shapoorji Delphi Khopoli, a plotted villa community positioned in the Khalapur taluka of Raigad district, in the foothills of the Sahyadri range. Shapoorji Pallonji Delphi Khopoli is a thoughtfully planned plotted community located in the green foothills of Khopoli, a town located in the Raigad district of Maharashtra. The project has direct connectivity to the Mumbai–Pune Expressway and easy access to both metros, positioning Delphi Khopoli as a setting for second homes, weekend retreats, or long-term land ownership.
The development is designed for buyers who want space and privacy, offering residential plots within a secure, master-planned layout set against the Western Ghats, where homeowners can build their own villas while remaining part of an organised gated environment. Essential infrastructure such as water supply, electricity connections, and internal access roads is built into the master plan. The project is positioned roughly 45 minutes from Navi Mumbai.
When the Mumbai-Pune Expressway opened in 2002, Khopoli, once a sleepy industrial town nestled between Lonavala and Navi Mumbai, began quietly transforming into one of the most promising real estate markets in Maharashtra. Access to Mumbai now runs at about 1.5 hours and to Pune about an hour, making the town a viable option for professionals working in both cities. Khopoli itself is an industrial city in the Khalapur taluka of Raigad district, at the base of the Sahyadri mountains, and forms part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
Over ₹1.2 lakh crore is being invested in regional infrastructure that directly strengthens Khopoli's accessibility, including the Mumbai–Pune Missing Link expressway, the Atal Setu sea bridge, Mumbai Metro Line 8, and the phased opening of Navi Mumbai International Airport. Per-acre land prices in emerging micro-markets including Khalapur and Khopoli rose from about ₹11 crore in 2022 to roughly ₹17 crore in 2024. Separately, a Liases Foras-linked report notes that property prices in Khopoli have risen more than fourfold between 2021 and 2025.
Khopoli is also the last stop on Mumbai's suburban railway network, with trains linking it to CST, Thane, and Dadar, while the NH-48 highway adds further road connectivity. Khopoli railway station functions as the southern terminus of the Central Line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway, a line that was progressively electrified for suburban EMU services. Alongside this connectivity, the town retains its established leisure identity: the Imagica amusement park sits nearby, making the belt a familiar weekend destination for Mumbai and Pune families.
The Shapoorji Pallonji business was founded as a partnership firm, Littlewood Pallonji, in 1865, with its first project being a pavement on Girgaum Chowpatty, followed by a reservoir on Malabar Hill that supplied water to Mumbai for over 100 years. Over the following century, the group built several of Mumbai's Fort-area landmarks, including the Reserve Bank of India building, the Bombay Stock Exchange building, and the Taj Intercontinental, as well as the Al Alam Palace for the Sultan of Oman in 1972. It also built the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi, and Mumbai Central railway station.
As Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate, the group's dedicated property arm carries that engineering lineage into residential and commercial development. It has developed over 13 million sq ft of residential and 6 million sq ft of commercial properties to date, with SP Infocity operating as a multi-city tech park format. Within mass housing, Shukhobrishti in Kolkata is currently India's largest mass housing project, a 150-acre township of 20,000 residential units, roughly half of which are completed and occupied. In 2016, the group entered the affordable-housing segment with its Joyville brand, planning 20 million sq ft of residential space over the following six to seven years. Joyville has since launched in Howrah near Kolkata, Virar near Mumbai, Hinjewadi and other pockets of Pune, and Gurugram.
Choosing Delphi Khopoli plots means choosing land ownership within a master-planned, gated community, with the flexibility to build a villa that reflects individual preference rather than accepting a fixed apartment layout. The community is structured with internal roads, utility planning, drainage systems, and clearly defined plot demarcation, rather than being sold as unorganised land parcels. Layout follows the natural topography of the site, allowing plots to take advantage of elevation differences and open views toward the Western Ghats.
This plotted format sits differently within Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate's broader catalogue, which spans affordable Joyville apartments, premium towers such as Parkwest and Skyraa, and mass housing at Shukhobrishti. Delphi Khopoli instead targets buyers seeking a second home, a weekend villa, or a long-hold land asset within reach of both Mumbai and Pune, in a location where the town sits between the two cities, roughly 70 km from Mumbai and 80 km from Pune.
