Economy[edit]
|
Economic growth is led by the manufacturing sector.Bhayandaris divided into two parts by theMumbai suburbanrail line - East and West.Mira Roadhas seen development only in the East part, while the West part, on the other side of the railway line is covered withsalt pansandmangroves.Mira Road East is a predominantlyresidentialarea. Its calm, quiet surroundings and low pollution make it a desirable residential oasis.
Bhayandar West was traditionally residential, and the East predominantly an industrial area in the field of steel utensils manufacturing. Recent population growth and a flurry of construction has blurred the boundaries between Bhayandar and neighboring Mira Road on the East side of the rail tracks, turning it into a populoussuburb.Government-owned Salt Pans and marshland in West Mira Road have restricted the southward spread of Bhayandar. There is a lot of scope for development of this land as it has the potential to house a large industrial complex.
