State Allocates Rs 1,400 million For Katraj-Kondhwa Road Land

The state government has allocated Rs 1,400 million (mn) to advance land acquisition for the Katraj-Kondhwa road widening project in Pune. The allocation was announced as part of a renewed push to secure the right of way and to expedite preparatory work for the scheme. Officials said the infusion of funds is intended to remove administrative and legal bottlenecks that have delayed progress in recent months.

The funds are earmarked specifically for acquiring private parcels and for associated rehabilitation and resettlement measures, with the state revenue department assigned to oversee disbursal. Local administrative bodies have been instructed to complete land surveys, prepare valuation reports and notify claimants in accordance with statutory norms. Authorities indicated that permissions and clearances from relevant agencies will be pursued concurrently to avoid sequential delays.

Project managers will coordinate with civic authorities and utility departments to plan shifting of services and to finalise alignment and design details. Planners described the widening scheme as intended to improve traffic flow between southern suburbs and key arterial corridors while integrating with existing urban development frameworks. Technical studies and detailed project reports are being prepared as acquisition progresses so that construction contracts can be mobilised promptly.

Officials said the allocation marks a tactical step to unlock works that have been stalled due to land constraints and that subsequent phases will address construction financing and tendering. The state will monitor land transfer timelines and compliance with compensation protocols before engaging contractors. Stakeholders have been asked to coordinate closely to maintain schedule discipline and to minimise disruption for residents and commuters during the execution phase. A monitoring cell will publish periodic updates on acquisition status and milestone completion.
