Patlipada, previously a village in the Indian state of Maharashtra, is now a part of Thane city.
Patlipada is located on the Ghodbunder Road which is 6–7 km from the Thane Railway Station.
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?]
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.
[1] Patlipada area has a predominantly Maharashtrian culture although, like Thane City, it is cosmopolitan.
[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.
[citation needed] The official residence of Thane Municipal Commissioner is in Patlipada.
