The first post-independence development plan for Bombay, formulated by the Mayer-Modak Committee in 1948, suggested satellite towns to Mumbai (then Bombay). Ten years later in March 1958, the Study group on Greater Bombay set up under the chairmanship of Mr. S.G. Barve was set up. In February 1959 committee suggested the formation of a township on the mainland across the Thane Creek to decongest Bombay. One of its major recommendations was that a rail-cum-road bridge be built across the Thane Creek to connect peninsular Bombay with the mainland. The bridge accelerated development across the Creek, relieving pressure on the city's railways and roadways, and attracted industrial and residential concentrations eastward to the mainland.

Tax on property, land, commercial, water were payable to CIDCO. The 14 nodes which CIDCO created where named Airoli, Ghansoli, Kopar Khairane, Vashi, Sanpada, Nerul, CBD Belapur, Kharghar, Kalamboli, Kamothe, New Panvel, Ulwe, Pushpak and Dronagiri. Each of the nodes is divided into groups. These groups are blocks of one or more sector in each of the node. Initially only Vashi, Nerul, CBD Belapur, Airoli were developed buy CIDCO and build infracture for Housing, School, community centre roads. But after the arrival of Harbour Line in 1990s there was increrase in population. CIDCO shifted its development plan to nodes like Kharghar, New Panvel, Airoli, Ghansoli, Kopar Khairane. In its new development plan CIDCO Land was allocated to builders for housing according to the drawn plane. CIDCO only provided basic infra structure like roads, water, electricity and these nodes were developed mostly by private builders according to CICCO plan.
