'''Ulwe''' (also '''Ulwa''', '''Ulva''' or '''Ulawe''') is a node of [[Navi Mumbai]] situated beside [[CBD Belapur|Belapur]] and [[Nerul]]. It is developed and maintained by [[City and Industrial Development Corporation|CIDCO]]. It is located in [[Raigad district]]. It is soon going to come under the purview of the [[Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation]].

Ulwe has a [[sports complex]] with football, badminton, hockey, swimming pool and indoor stadium.<ref name="stadium">{{cite web |first=Falguni |last=Banerjee |date=25 November 2009 |title=Uran to Get New Sports Complex: Facility on the Lines of Balewadi Gets SAI, CIDCO Okay |type=Sports News |publisher=DNA Syndication |url=http://dnasyndication.com/dna/article/DNMUM154653 |access-date=26 September 2013}}</ref> Ulwe has seen drastic increase{{Clarify|reason=vague|date=March 2014}} in property rate due to the geographical location and proximity to the under-construction [[Navi Mumbai International Airport]], [[Seawoods–Darave railway station|Seawoods]]-[[Uran]] railway line and a proposed [[Mumbai Trans Harbour Link|Trans-harbor link]] from [[Sewri]] to Chirle village in [[Nhava Sheva]].<ref name="railway line">{{cite web |author=The Economic Times |date=20 November 2012 |title=Ulwe in Mumbai emerges as top destination for realty investment |type=News |publisher=Indiatimes.com |url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-11-20/news/35226359_1_cent-knight-frank-top-destination |access-date=26 September 2013}}</ref>

Ulwe has big land parcels belonging to [[Reliance Industries|Reliance Industries Ltd.]] on which big residential and commercial activities are expected{{By whom|date=March 2014}} to start. The nearest railway station is the [[Bamandongri]] railway station, named after the village settlement located in the node.

Being a newly developing node of [[Navi Mumbai]], many buildings and constructions are being developed in Ulwe.<ref>{{cite web|title=Residential Projects in Ulwe|url=http://property.sulekha.com/new-projects-in-ulwe-navi-mumbai-for-sale}}</ref> [[CIDCO]] buildings are also being constructed in there. The Navi Mumbai international airport is nearby to Ulwe. A sea link from [[Sewri]] to [[Nhava Sheva]] is proposed.

Coastal road is also proposed which will act as a connector between sea link and new NMIA ([[Navi Mumbai International Airport]]) and another arm of coastal road will connect sea link to JNPT. The Sea link will have interchange at Shivajinagar, Ulwe and it will be extended up to Chirle nearby [[Dronagiri]] node in [[Navi Mumbai]].

==Ulwe Port==
Ulwe is situated at the Panvel creek and old village among 10 others abandoned to make way for Navi Mumbai airport. It is at a distance of 6 miles from [[Panvel]]. There is a [[wharf]] at Ulwe. The old pier is in a dilapidated condition. This port is not approachable to big steamers. There are two seasonal sailing vessels for passenger traffic. Mostly these vessels are used for carrying vegetables and fruits to Mumbai. The chief goods exported from Ulwe are fruits and vegetables, rice, grain, salt, firewood and sand.<ref name="1964port">{{cite book |author=Government of Maharashtra |date=25 December 2006 |orig-year=1964 |editor1-first=Arunchandra S. |editor1-last=Pathak |chapter=''Ports'' |title=Kolaba District Gazetteer |type=[[E-book]] |series=(Maharashtra State Gazetteers) |others=(''E-book prepared by Nirmal Software Services Pvt.

==Modern History==
[[City and Industrial Development Corporation]] (CIDCO) a registered company under the company's act of 1972 and is responsible for development of the Ulwe node and all the other nodes in Navi Mumbai. The other nodes in Navi Mumbai are Vashi, Sanpada, Nerul, Seawoods, Kamothe, Kharghar, Panvel, Turbhe, Airoli, Dronagiri and Ulwe. Originally land parcels were owned by farmers in this node. CIDCO brought land from farmers and has been developing these land parcels. The Ulwe node has a river (Ulwe river) passing through the proposed [[Navi Mumbai International Airport]]. To the north east of the node lies the Gahdi river. The node also has more than 300 hectares of mangroves.

==Environmental Context==
The nodes in the environmental perspective are very rich, with 300+ hectares of mangroves and two rivers. Rivers Ulwe and Ghadi pass through the Ulwe node in the proposed international airport area. Construction and development has only been possible after containing, diverting these rivers and mangroves. Approximately 200 hectares of mangroves will be destroyed for the upcoming international airport. The environmental clearance for the project has been given based on relocation or re plantation of these 200 hectare mangroves. Cidco has proposed a mangrove park north of the airport site. The river Ghadi is to be diverted altering its meeting point in the Panvel creek. Environmentalist fear flooding of Panvel area because of this alteration.

Karnala bird sanctuary is just below the Dronagiri node, south east of the node. The bird sanctuary is small, approximately 11.2 km. square. Along with Sanjay Gandhi national park and Tungerashwar sanctuary is the boundary of Mumbai Metropolitan region. Dronagiri fort is located in the southernmost tip of Dronagiri spread over an area of 17 km. square and is bound by karnjha river on the south-east. It lies between the town of Uran and karanjha. Port based activities take place around the area.
