Geography

Patlipada is located on the Ghodbunder Road which is 6–7 km from the Thane Railway Station. Originally, the village was mostly covered with agricultural fields. It has now been transformed into a town.

The area has seen massive population growth with a lot of new residential and commercial projects being completed in the last 4–8 years.[ when? ] Commercial activity is on the rise. Patlipada is at a higher altitude than the actual city. The Sanjay Gandhi National Park area is across the road. Coming from Thane Station, Patlipada is after Manpada and before Waghbil.

Being one of the important suburbs on the central side, the growth of Thane city can be credited to its growing residential, commercial, retail and infrastructure development. The small town of Thane now has huge complexes and new areas open for development like the Ghodbunder Road and Pokhran Road among others. [1]

Demographics and culture

Patlipada area has a predominantly Maharashtrian culture although, like Thane City, it is cosmopolitan. Beside Marathi, sizable populations of North Indians, South Indians, Sindhis, Gujaratis and Marwari and other people from different regions live in Patlipada, mainly because of its proximity to Mumbai. Mumbai and Thane are separated only politically but the culture and customs are all the same. Festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri and Durga Puja are celebrated in this area.[ citation needed ]

The size of the city has increased greatly in recent years,[ when? ] spurred on by a residential boom due to people moving away from Mumbai and Thane to find affordable homes and good amenities. The housing density is lower than the Thane City as the area is further from the railway station, but it is the most expensive area on Ghodbunder Road and one of the five most expensive places in Thane City.[ citation needed ]
