Wadachiwadi Town Planning (TP) Scheme in Pune – PMRDA Infra Project

As per the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA), this town planning scheme covers an expanse of 134 hectares, including 2.95 hectares around the Nullah. Upon completion, landowners are slated to receive 148 developed plots through this scheme. Additionally, 11.72 hectares have been allocated for economically disadvantaged sections (EWS). The ring road is designated to utilize 19 hectares of land.

A specific allocation of 15.50 hectares is earmarked for internal roads, 7 plots for open grounds, and 11 plots for various gardens. PMRDA has strategically planned the Wadachiwadi Town Planning Scheme to facilitate the development of the Inner Ring Road within the PMRDA area. The declaration of intent to formulate the scheme was executed under the provisions of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MRTP) under section 60(1) on 17/12/2018.

Wadachiwadi has been incorporated into the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) Limit, with PMRDA appointed as the Special Planning Authority for the region. The comprehensive town planning scheme envisages the integration of a primary health center, a sewage treatment plant, a fire station, bus stops, a vegetable market, and a shopping center.

These town planning schemes are designed as revenue models to support the proposed 128-km PMRDA Inner Ring Road. It is anticipated that a total of 26 town planning schemes will be implemented along the initial 32 km stretch of the proposed Pune Ring Road. Importantly, landowners are not required to relocate; instead, they become integral contributors to the development process. This approach is envisioned to benefit the entire community, as planning authorities can efficiently undertake essential infrastructure projects.

What is necessity of Wadachiwadi Town Planning Scheme?

Adjoining the existing developed area of town, we see vast undeveloped area comprising number of small individual agricultural holding of irregular size and shape having great NA potential for immediate development. However due to lack of access and irregular boundaries proper and early development becomes difficult. In some cases, plots though of larger size are found unbuildable due to their shapes etc. Regional plan roads do not provide access to each holding in absence of proper combine scheme, the development becomes hazards and isolated.
