Navi Mumbai, India

Navi Mumbai (नवी मुंबई, formerly New Bombay) is a planned city in Konkan, Maharashtra. It was founded in 1971, as a satellite township to take the pressure off Mumbai city; in this sense, it has been only partially successful. This has been changing, with many IT and ITES industries setting up shop here.

The city does not have an airport yet, though a new international airport will be built in Navi Mumbai. It is expected to be operational in 2023 at the latest.
