Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar metro: Pune civic body to hand over land

17 Jun 2021 CW Team

The standing committee of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) approved handing over of land for the Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar corridor-3 metro project on Tuesday, which is being implemented by the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA).

The metro project received a green signal from PMC’s general body in 2018. Recently some changes were proposed about the land acquisition for the project as well as expenses. On Tuesday a revised proposal was approved by the standing committee.

The expenses for the acquisition of land would be incurred by PMC, which is part of the development plan (DP), against floor space index (FSI) or transfer of development right (TDR), or according to the provisions of the land acquisition act.

The municipal authority will provide the road space required for the project. PMRDA will acquire land plots other than those marked in the DP. The 23.3 km long corridor around the 14 km stretch passes through PMC limits.
