The proposal identifies Solu (approximately 13 hectares), Nirgudi (approximately 9 hectares), and Wadgaon Shinde (approximately 6 hectares) as the areas requiring land acquisition.

The PMRDA official stated that land acquisition would be carried out through direct purchase or compulsory acquisition, exploring all available options to expedite the process. Additionally, a land acquisition officer will conduct a survey as part of the proceedings.

In its initial phase, the inner ring road will establish crucial connections between Nagar Road and Mumbai Expressway, as well as Solapur Road with Satara Road.
