Out of the 173 ha needed for the Baramati-Phaltan-Lonand railway project, 131 ha has been purchased by the Pune district administration. Due to local opposition, the acquisition of the final 40 ha of property is at risk. A total of 63.65 km of the new Baramati-Phaltan-Lonand single-track route are in the Baramati Taluka. Land acquisition is currently taking place between Baramati and Lonand. The district administration purchased the 131 ha of land in the last three months. Property of 9.38 ha will be purchased in a few days after approximately 121 ha of land have currently been purchased. The 40 ha of land acquisition will continue after that.
