The House of Abhinandan Lodha, known as HoABL, is the plotted-development arm associated with the Lodha group, and its presence in Neral is built around land rather than vertical towers. Neral sits in Raigad district, on the Mumbai-Pune corridor and in the wider Mumbai region, which makes it a commuter-belt location with a distinctly different pace from the city. HoABL's Neral offerings are aimed at buyers who want land, space and a long-term plot rather than a flat in a high-rise.
The developer tracks HOABL BLUE ZONE MUMBAI as a project in Neral, and its Neral portfolio also includes HoABL Celebration Land plots in Pimploli Village, which are the most clearly defined price point in the developer's local range.
HoABL's Celebration Land plots in Pimploli Village range from 1,507 to 2,260 sq ft, priced between 54.99 lakh and 79.99 lakh. For buyers seeking larger parcels, the developer's Neral plots begin at 1.25 crore, which positions the upper end of the range for those who want more land area.
For context on the wider market, apartment listings in Neral averaged 4,648 per sq ft in October 2026 on NoBroker-verified data. Sample listings from the same period include a 1 BHK of 550 sq ft at 3,091 per sq ft in Nirman Nagari and a 1 RK of 387 sq ft at 4,910 per sq ft in Defodils. One portal recorded a 4.4 percent movement in average apartment prices over the last one year, a useful reference for buyers comparing plotted land against the flat market.

Neral is a junction town on the Central Railway line, roughly 1.5 km from Neral Railway Station for the area around the AICAR Business School. Mumbai is about 90 km away, reached in roughly 1.5 hours by train or car, while Pune is 92 km and Navi Mumbai 40 km. Road access runs through NH4, the Karjat-Murbad Road and the Neral-Badlapur Road, supported by MSRTC bus services. Residents travelling to Mumbai commonly use the route via Panvel.
Neral has no metro line, and its connectivity is built on rail and road. For a plot buyer, this means the value is in land and space within a commuter-linked town rather than in metro-led density.
Several projects are shaping the area's future. The Navi Mumbai International Airport is under development and lies a short drive from Neral. The Neral-Shirur highway, a proposed 65 km cross-ghat link connecting Neral in Raigad district with Shirur in Pune district, received Maharashtra government approval in May 2026. The government has also approved development of the Neral-Bhimashankar and SH 54 highways. The Central Government has approved the 4,500 crore JNPT-Chowk Highway Project. The Panvel-Karjat railway line is expected to improve suburban and intercity links, and the Virar-Alibaug Multimodal Corridor and the BKC-Navi Mumbai Airport tunnel are named as expected connectivity projects. The Neral-Karjat Smart City plan and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway widening are also part of the regional picture.
Neral's schools include Tulips High School and Neral Vidyamandir School, with King Lord High School and Jr. College, L.A.E.S English High School, Vidya Vikas Mandir and V Y Kothari English School also in the town. AICAR Business School is located in Neral, in the foothills of Matheran beside the Ulhas River, giving the town an education presence beyond school level.
Healthcare is anchored by Sanjeevani Multispeciality Hospital, along with Sankalp Multispecialty Hospital on Bus Depo Road, Dhanvantari Hospital on Khanda Road, Sai Hospital on Kalamb Road and Aayush Nursing Home in Khanda. Neral Multispeciality Hospital and Critical Care Centre at Laxmi Icon on Neral Dhamote Road operates 42 beds. The lively local market supplies everyday needs, and the Globe Business Park is a named commercial landmark in the locality.
Neral's proximity to Matheran shapes its economy, with tourism and hospitality businesses active across the town. The Matheran toy train starts at Neral and covers a scenic 21 km route in roughly two and a half hours. Service between Neral and Matheran resumed on November 6, 2025, and Train 52103 departs Neral at 08:50, arriving at Matheran at 11:30 each day. Neral Waterfall and Ganesh Ghat Park add to the local landmarks.
Three factors explain why Neral draws attention for plotted land. First, the Mumbai-Pune corridor location places the town within reach of two major cities while keeping land costs below the metropolitan core. Second, the regional road and rail projects approved or under development connect Neral more directly to Pune, Karjat and the proposed airport. Third, the town's residential and township growth, alongside tourism-linked activity, creates steady local demand. The Celebration Land plots in Pimploli and the larger Neral plots give HoABL buyers a range of plot sizes within this context, from roughly 1,500 sq ft parcels to larger holdings starting at 1.25 crore.
