Pune's Gunthewari scheme struggles to gain momentum in property sector

18 Dec 2023 CW Team

The Gunthewari scheme in Pune faces challenges as it fails to gather the anticipated pace in the local property sector. The scheme, which was introduced to regularise unauthorised constructions and bring unapproved structures under legal frameworks, is encountering hurdles in gaining the necessary momentum and acceptance among property owners.

Despite its well-intentioned objectives, the Gunthewari scheme's slow uptake suggests reluctance or challenges in its implementation within the Pune real estate landscape. The scheme was designed to address the issue of illegal constructions by providing a legal pathway for regularization.

The sluggish progress raises questions about the effectiveness of the scheme and the factors contributing to its limited success. It underscores the need for a comprehensive assessment of the challenges faced by property owners, developers, and the local administration in embracing and implementing such regularization initiatives.

The Gunthewari scheme's struggle to gain traction may prompt a re-evaluation of its implementation strategies and communication to stakeholders. The slow adoption could be influenced by factors such as awareness, procedural complexities, or perceived benefits for property owners. As Pune continues to evolve in its urban development, addressing these challenges becomes crucial to ensuring the success of initiatives aimed at bringing unauthorised constructions within the legal framework and fostering sustainable growth in the real estate sector.
