PMRDA Targets December End for Ring Road Land Acquisition, Discussions With Farmers in Maval Mulshi and Haveli Underway

PMRDA is targeting completion of land acquisition for its 83.12 km stretch of the proposed Pune-Pimpri Chinchwad ring road by December end with land measurements already completed in three villages and active discussions underway with farmers across Maval, Mulshi and Haveli talukas to expedite the process. The 122.82 km ring road first included in the regional plan in 1997 is designed to allow heavy vehicles travelling to and from other regions to bypass Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad entirely, easing congestion on city roads, with MSRDC responsible for the remaining 39.70 km stretch. The ring road will connect major highways leading to Nashik, Ahilyanagar, Solapur and Satara as well as the Pune-Bengaluru corridor.

PMRDA has said it will prioritise consensual land purchase over compulsory acquisition with farmers who voluntarily surrender land eligible to receive higher compensation based on average sale transactions recorded over the preceding three years. For Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad commuters who endure daily congestion partly caused by heavy vehicles passing through city roads, the December land acquisition target is the most concrete timeline the ring road project has seen since it was first conceived nearly three decades ago. The real test however will be how many of the farmers across three talukas agree to voluntary land surrender within the tight December deadline and whether PMRDA can translate completed measurements and ongoing discussions into actual possession before the year is out.
