Kharghar is a node of Raigad District's Navi Mumbai and it is a suburb under Panvel Municipal Corporation.

Prashant Thakur, MLA represents Kharghar in the State Legislative Assembly as part of Panvel constituency.

The proposed new Navi Mumbai International Airport was initially expected to be operational by 2019 in the Kopra area between Khandeshwar and Kamothe.

Despite getting environmental clearance from the Centre almost three years ago, the project was stuck due to protracted negotiations with farmers who wanted a compensation package of Rs 20 crore per hectare or 35 per cent of the land bank as a developed plot.

Under the project plan, the rare island village of Waghivali in Panvel creek will be converted into a mangrove lagoon and its ecology will be maintained.

This move aims at ensuring maximum security for those who visit the park," a senior Cidco official said.

The park's fencing had been stolen and the lake within the premises was in dire need of cleaning since it was filled with algae and litter (mostly plastic bottles).

[10] In a positive turn of events for residents of Kharghar and Navi Mumbai, CIDCO has taken proactive steps to clean the once-polluted lake at Central Park.

This commendable action was prompted by the vigilance of Kharghar Civic, a proactive Twitter account dedicated to addressing local concerns, which brought the matter to CIDCO's attention.

[11] CIDCO has planned a better version of Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) in Kharghar with a layered structure with a pyramid-shaped central hub of high rises.

Proximity to the Navi Mumbai International Airport and the metro project worth Rs 13,000 crore, will provide high class infra, a spokesperson said.

[13] On 15 January 2021, a city based environmental organisation, Waatavaran (Climate, Environment and Sustainability Foundation (WCES), set up an installation called the "Billboard the Breathes", at the Bank of India signal junction, sector 7, Kharghar.

[15] However, the billboard had started changing colour from white to grey, barely a day after installation,[16] alarming social activists, local residents and the administration.
