Land at Navi Mumbai and Pune is the easy side of the harbour: no city to cross, the Expressway from Panvel, and a sarathi who met you at the arrivals exit with your name.
Your sarathi waits at the arrivals exit with your name on the board, takes the trolley, and walks you to the nearest kerb the airport allows while the driver brings the car round. Your flight is followed from take-off.
Navi Mumbai sits on the Pune side of the harbour, so you skip the city altogether: NH 48 to Panvel, then the Mumbai–Pune Expressway over the ghat. About 120 km; usually two and a half to three hours, more in the monsoon or on a Friday evening.
The food court at the top of the ghat, or a quieter place the house knows. Say so and it is planned, counted inside the figure.
Families landing from the Gulf or the south and going home to Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad or Hinjawadi; a company’s guest for a day at a plant; anyone who chose Navi Mumbai precisely so as not to cross the city. The same car continues to Lonavala or Alibaug if that is where you are going. For the older airport, see Mumbai Airport to Pune.
