PMRDA eyes government seal on Maan-Mhalunge town planning scheme, ET RealEstate
PUNE: PMRDA officials are set to send the final arbitration report of the Maan-Mhalunge town planning scheme to the state government next month for its final approval.
A Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) official on Monday said around 510 plots and 5,800 beneficiaries had been finalised for the town planning scheme. A beneficiary would get 50% land back at the same site. The proposal was announced in 2018.
“Hearing for the plots (of the scheme) has been completed and we will send the report to the state government,” the official said.
“A town planning scheme enables the landowners to get back 50% of the plots that are being developed. This is a win-win situation for the landowners willing to part with their land,” another senior PMRDA official said.
Five town planning schemes are awaiting clearance from the state government. The state has been following the Gujarat model of town planning schemes. The Maan Mhalunge town planning scheme will be the model of the rest of the schemes.
The five schemes will come up in Wadachiwadi, Autade Handewadi, Manjari Kolwadi and Holkarwadi (two) and require 751.55 hectares of land.
The initial funding will be allocated from the PMRDA’s corpus. The town planning schemes have been planned as revenue models for the proposed 128-km PMRDA inner ring road.
The Centre was expected to fund Rs 25 crore each for the five town planning schemes as part of supporting infrastructure projects. PMRDA had allocated Rs 175 crore for these schemes from its budget. Town planning schemes from Maharashtra were successfully executed by Gujarat government.
