Pimpri Chinchwad to Boost Infrastructure with Dapodi-Nigdi Road Approval

15 Apr 2025 CW Team

The approval also includes the development of a road within the Indolink Eurocity premises, reflecting the PCMC's commitment to integrated development and future-oriented industrial zoning. This is seen as a step toward supporting economic growth through strategic infrastructure planning.

In addition to road developments, the committee has made significant decisions to strengthen public services and education. This includes funding for the replacement of UPS battery systems in various departments to ensure uninterrupted services. Approvals were also granted for the procurement of Xerox machines and the printing of Marathi textbooks for municipal schools, emphasizing the corporation's focus on inclusive education for marginalized communities.

PCMC also approved the procurement of machinery to enforce regulations against unauthorized constructions in areas like Kaveri Nagar, Venu Nagar, and Kaspattevasti, as well as Wakad, Punawale, and Tathawade. These areas have experienced unregulated growth, which the corporation aims to control through stricter urban planning and environmental safeguards.

Furthermore, the approval of expenses for underground cable laying and road restoration across the city signals a concerted effort toward modernizing infrastructure and maintaining liveable urban spaces. These measures collectively represent a phase of urban renewal, with a focus on improving the city’s infrastructure, education, and regulatory framework, all contributing to a more resilient and organized urban environment.
