Kalamboli is one of the nodes of Navi Mumbai. It is a transportation hub, being situated at the junction of the Sion-Panvel Highway, NH 48, Panvel By-Pass, NH 66 and Mumbai-Pune Expressway and is among the biggest iron and steel delivery centers in India. The township, like the rest of Navi Mumbai, is divided into sectors, which are further divided into plots. The residential and commercial areas of Kalamboli are divided by the NH 4 highway. Roadpali, a region to the north of Kalamboli, is developing at a faster rate than the latter with many residential projects coming up due to availability of land. Roadpali is located along the Taloja Link Road. Kalamboli also houses the Navi Mumbai Police Headquarters. CIDCO is the nodal administrative body for Kalamboli node. Kalamboli also has a Sewage Water Treatment Plant owned by CIDCO. Kalamboli is now governed by Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC).[3] The terminal of Mumbai-Pune Expressway is at Kalamboli. It also has Navi Mumbai's largest marble market alongside the Sion Panvel Highway.Place is a complete mess made by builders, politicians and officials.Dusty, noisy scenes and no development amidst growing real estate is the exact description of this node.There is a "Dharane lake". This natural small lake is again ignored by the authorities.Politicians appear only to grab credit, but there is no beautification of the lake despite requests from the locals.
Roadways
Auto-rickshaw, along with NMMT, BEST, KDMT, MSRTC buses, are the local means for commuters. Auto rickshaws provide the primary means of personal local transportation. Traveling to other nodes, or travels at night, by auto rickshaw usually entails the payment of one-and-a-half times the regular meter fare, or some other negotiated fare. NMMT, BEST and ST buses are available from Kalamboli to Vashi, Ghatkopar, Uran and Thane, as well as the node of Panvel.
