Shrivardhan Land in 2026: The Konkan Coast Entry
- Coastal-highway-adjacent land near Shrivardhan is quoted around ₹27 lakh per acre in 2026, with sea-facing agricultural land near ₹20 lakh per acre and inland parcels around ₹10 lakh — roughly ₹46–62 per sq ft. Market asking, confirm per plot.
- Shrivardhan is a coastal taluka in Raigad district, on the Konkan shore near Diveagar, Aravi and Harihareshwar beaches — the lowest per-acre entry point on this stretch of coast.
- The Revas–Reddi Coastal Highway (MSH4) runs down this coast; its Dabhol creek bridge alone is projected to save at least 45 minutes, but the project has faced clearance delays, so travel-time gains are not yet realised.
- Most coastal plots fall under the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ), which restricts or prohibits construction by distance from the high-tide line — the decisive check here.
- Ready-reckoner rates are frozen for FY2026–27, and NA conversion of plan-permitted land runs on a one-time premium of 0.1%–0.5% of ASR value.
Shrivardhan is where the Konkan coast gets genuinely affordable — per-acre numbers a fraction of Alibaug’s. Shrivardhan land in 2026 is an entry point, not a shortcut: the low price comes bundled with distance, coastal rules and tenure questions that decide whether a plot is usable at all.
Where is Shrivardhan, and why is it called a Konkan coast entry point?
Shrivardhan is a coastal taluka in southern Raigad district, on the Arabian Sea near the Diveagar, Aravi and Harihareshwar beaches, and it is marketed as an “entry point” because its per-acre land prices are a fraction of Alibaug’s while sitting on the same coastline further south.
It is a well-established tourism and pilgrimage belt — Harihareshwar’s temple and the Diveagar beaches draw steady weekend traffic from Mumbai and Pune. For a land buyer, the draw is obvious: coastal land at raw-land prices. The counterweight is equally real: Shrivardhan is several hours from Mumbai by road today, and much of the coastal land is both CRZ-governed and agricultural, so affordability and usability are two separate questions here.
What does Shrivardhan land cost in 2026?
Coastal-highway-adjacent residential land near Shrivardhan is being quoted at roughly ₹27 lakh per acre in 2026, sea-facing agricultural land around ₹20 lakh per acre and inland agricultural parcels near ₹10 lakh per acre — translating to only about ₹46–62 per sq ft.
Those are among the lowest coastal-land asking prices in the Mumbai-accessible Konkan, and they are asking prices from listing platforms, not transacted values. The low per-sq-ft numbers reflect that most of this is raw agricultural or coastal land, not serviced NA plots — the price of conversion, access and CRZ compliance is not in the headline figure.
| Land type | Indicative asking (2026) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Coastal-highway-adjacent residential | ~₹27 lakh / acre | ~₹62 / sq ft; premium for highway frontage |
| Sea-facing agricultural | ~₹20 lakh / acre | ~₹46 / sq ft; CRZ-sensitive |
| Inland agricultural | ~₹10 lakh / acre | Lowest entry; access and conversion to check |
| Residential plots (near beaches) | From ~₹21 lakh | Varies sharply with size and proximity |
What is the Revas–Reddi Coastal Highway doing to access?
The Revas–Reddi Coastal Highway (MSH4) is the planned coastal road running the length of the Konkan from Revas in Raigad to Reddi in Sindhudurg, and it passes along the Shrivardhan coast; its Dabhol creek bridge alone is projected to save at least 45 minutes, but the project has been slowed by pending clearances.
Construction on parts of the highway is reported to have begun around October 2024 with a target completion of December 2026, though pending Maritime Board clearance on bridge navigation specifications has held up some tender processes. The honest read for a buyer is that this is a real, funded, under-construction corridor that would transform Konkan coastal access — and also one whose timeline has already slipped and may slip again. Do not pay a “coastal-highway premium” today for a travel-time saving that is not yet on the ground; verify the current status of the specific segment near any plot.
How does CRZ shape what you can build near Shrivardhan?
Under the Coastal Regulation Zone framework, coastal land is classified into zones that restrict or completely prohibit construction by distance from the high-tide line, so near Shrivardhan the CRZ category of a plot decides buildability before its price or title does.
The CRZ Notification, administered in Maharashtra through the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA), applies strict no-development controls closest to the sea and within creek and estuary influence — precisely the sea-facing and beach-adjacent plots that are cheapest and most tempting here. A plot can be genuinely for sale and have almost no legally buildable area. Confirm the CRZ zone and the notified Coastal Zone Management Plan for the specific survey number, in writing, before any other step.
What tenure and NA issues come up on Konkan land?
Konkan agricultural land frequently carries old, fragmented or restricted tenure and multiple co-owners, and NA conversion — though simplified since 31 December 2025 to a one-time premium of 0.1%–0.5% of ready-reckoner value — is not automatic where CRZ or agricultural restrictions apply.
The NA premium under the amended Section 47 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code scales with plot area:
| Plot area | One-time NA premium (of ready-reckoner value) |
|---|---|
| Up to 1,000 sq m | 0.1% |
| 1,001–4,000 sq m | 0.25% |
| Above 4,000 sq m | 0.5% |
Worked example. A one-acre (about 4,047 sq m) Shrivardhan parcel whose ready-reckoner value totals ₹20 lakh falls in the above-4,000 sq m band, so its one-time NA premium would be 0.5% of ₹20 lakh — about ₹10,000 — if the plot’s use were plan-permitted and outside a CRZ no-development zone. On much sea-facing Konkan land, that second condition is the one that fails. (Figures illustrative; confirm the ASR, tenure and CRZ status for the specific plot.)
What should you verify before buying Shrivardhan land?
Verify five things in order: the CRZ zone and Coastal Zone Management Plan, the 7/12 extract with tenure and co-owners, NA or convertibility status, documented legal access, and the real current status of the coastal highway near the plot.
Begin with CRZ, because it can override everything else on this coast. Read the 7/12 extract carefully for tenure class and the “other rights” column — Konkan land often has multiple heirs and old tenancy entries that complicate a clean sale. Confirm NA status or convertibility; establish a genuine, motorable access road; and treat the coastal highway as a future convenience to verify, not a present value to pay for. The low entry price is real, but so is the diligence it demands.
FAQ
What does Shrivardhan land cost in 2026?
Coastal-highway-adjacent land is quoted around ₹27 lakh per acre, sea-facing agricultural land near ₹20 lakh per acre, and inland parcels around ₹10 lakh per acre — roughly ₹46–62 per sq ft. These are asking prices for mostly raw or agricultural land, and the cost of conversion, access and CRZ compliance is not in the headline figure.
Where is Shrivardhan?
Shrivardhan is a coastal taluka in southern Raigad district, Maharashtra, on the Arabian Sea near the Diveagar, Aravi and Harihareshwar beaches. It is an established tourism and pilgrimage belt and the lowest per-acre entry point on this stretch of the Konkan coast.
Is the Revas–Reddi Coastal Highway built near Shrivardhan?
It is under construction, not complete. The Revas–Reddi Coastal Highway (MSH4) runs along this coast, and its Dabhol creek bridge is projected to save at least 45 minutes, but the project has faced clearance delays, including pending Maritime Board approval on bridge navigation. Verify the current status of the specific segment before pricing it into a plot.
Does CRZ apply to Shrivardhan coastal land?
Yes. Most sea-facing and beach-adjacent plots fall under the Coastal Regulation Zone, which restricts or prohibits construction by distance from the high-tide line. The CRZ category comes from the notified Coastal Zone Management Plan and the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority, and must be confirmed for the specific survey number before anything else.
How much does NA conversion cost for Shrivardhan land?
Since 31 December 2025, where use is plan-permitted, conversion runs through development permission plus a one-time premium of 0.1% to 0.5% of ready-reckoner value, by plot size. On sea-facing Konkan land, however, CRZ and agricultural restrictions mean conversion is often not automatic and may not be possible at all.
What should I verify before buying Shrivardhan land?
Verify the CRZ zone and Coastal Zone Management Plan first, then the 7/12 extract with tenure and co-owners, NA or convertibility status, documented legal access, and the real current status of the coastal highway near the plot. The low entry price is genuine, but the diligence it demands is substantial.
