Deadline Extended for Land Acquisition in Purandar Airport Project; Compensation Progress Reported
The deadline for farmers to submit consent agreements and accept compensation for land acquisition for the proposed Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje International Airport at Purandar has been extended to June 30. Pune district administration has acquired 851 of the required 1,216 hectares, disbursing around Rs 950 crore in compensation, with an additional Rs 2,000 crore expected soon. Procedural issues such as land valuation, court cases, and documentation delays have prompted farmers and village representatives to seek the extension. The airport aims to meet growing regional aviation needs and reduce pressure on Pune's existing airport.
