State to Transfer 1,878 Hectares to PMRDA for Infrastructure Development

The state government has decided to transfer 1,878 hectares of unused land across eight Pune district talukas to the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) free of cost. This move aims to prevent encroachments and accelerate infrastructure development. The transfer involves 174 state-owned land parcels and excludes the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. PMRDA, established in 2016, is preparing a new structural plan after a previous draft was scrapped due to legal challenges, focusing on roads and key infrastructure.
