Mahalunge-Maan TP approved; authority yet to be decided
The Maharashtra government approved preliminary Town Planning Scheme 1 (first variation) for Mahalunge-Maan, with a Government Resolution issued on April 29 paving the way for formal notification in the gazette and governor’s consent. The final implementation authority remains undecided between PMC and PMRDA, amid ongoing discussions following the merger of 23 villages into PMC. The Mahalunge-Maan belt near Hinjawadi IT Park has seen rapid growth, prompting structured planning to address infrastructure and civic needs.
Why It Matters
This TP scheme aims to formalize land use and infrastructure provisioning in a fast-growing Pune western corridor, potentially shaping governance and delivery of public amenities in Mahalunge-Maan. The decision on which agency will implement the scheme could influence execution and accountability.
