Balkum, Thane: Connectivity and Social Infrastructure

- Balkum Naka is one of 15 proposed metro stations on Mumbai Metro Line 5 (Kapurbawdi, Thane to Kalyan APMC Market).
- The upcoming interconnectivity between metro lines, the monorail, Eastern Express Highway, Central Railway, and other arterial routes will make commuting to South Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Kalyan, and Bhiwandi seamless.
- Balkum offers direct connectivity to Bhiwandi, Nashik, and beyond via the Mumbai-Nashik Expressway.
- Thane Railway Station, a major node on the Mumbai Suburban Network, is just 5–6 km away.
Balkum’s proximity to Ghodbunder Road, Majiwada, Manpada, and Dhokali Naka gives residents access to a wide range of schools, hospitals, banks, malls, fine-dining restaurants, markets, and recreational facilities—making it an ideal choice for families, working professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors alike.
