Pune Municipal Corporation Approves Land Acquisition for HCMTR and Inner Ring Road Projects
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has approved land acquisition proposals totaling approximately ₹3,722 crore for two major transport projects: the High Capacity Mass Transit Route (HCMTR) and the Inner Ring Road. The HCMTR requires nearly 4.98 lakh square metres of land across 15 locations, while the 65-km Inner Ring Road will pass through 42 villages, including 21 within PMC limits, with its alignment recently revised to reduce land acquisition. Land acquisition will follow relevant state and central laws, with costs borne by respective agencies. Officials are coordinating with government bodies to expedite the projects.
