Mulshi Water Plan and Hadapsar Civic Split Still Await Execution in Pune
Several long-term decisions aimed at improving Pune’s urban management remain incomplete despite being discussed for years by political leaders and urban planners. Among them, the proposal to bring additional water from Mulshi Dam to Pune and the plan to form a separate municipal corporation for areas around Hadapsar were intended to address the city’s growing administrative and infrastructure challenges. Rapid urban expansion driven by the IT sector and population migration has sharply increased water demand, while managing one of Maharashtra’s largest municipal corporations has become increasingly complex.
Political leaders have repeatedly highlighted worsening water shortages, rising tanker dependence, traffic congestion, waste management gaps, and declining air quality as signs of administrative strain. Pune’s water consumption has risen from about 5 TMC in the 1990s to nearly 22 TMC today, intensifying the need for new water sources. The state government has shown willingness to allocate up to 10 TMC from Mulshi Dam, and an expert committee has recommended the project. Surveys are currently underway to assess water transfer feasibility to the Khadakwasla system, with fast-growing areas such as Baner, Balewadi, Bavdhan, Sus, Dhayari, and Nanded expected to benefit if the plan moves forward.
