Unlocking Potential- Pune’s 23 Merged Villages Embrace UDCPR Regulations

In a significant development for real estate in Pune, 23 merged villages within the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) are poised for transformative growth thanks to the implementation of Urban Development and Controlled Planning Regulations (UDCPR). Led by recent directives from the State government’s urban development department, this move promises substantial benefits for landowners and residents alike.

In a promising turn of events for Pune’s real estate landscape, the implementation of Urban Development and Controlled Planning Regulations (UDCPR) has brought renewed hope and opportunities to 23 merged villages within the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). Led by decisive action from Dr. Pratima Bhadane, Joint Secretary of the State Government’s Urban Development Department, these villages are set to benefit significantly from streamlined development processes.

A Milestone Decision

On March 15, 2024, Dr. Pratima Bhadane, Joint Secretary of the State Government’s Urban Development Department, issued a landmark order to implement UDCPR in these 23 merged villages. Originally incorporated into the PMC limits in 2021, these villages were previously under the jurisdiction of the PMRDA (Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority).

The decision to extend UDCPR regulations to these villages comes after years of advocacy and demands from civil rights organizations and local representatives. This landmark move promises substantial benefits for landowners and residents, paving the way for accelerated real estate development and resolving long-standing complications in construction rules and permissions.

The Need for Change

The decision to implement UDCPR comes after years of stalling real estate development due to delays in finalizing the development plan by the PMRDA. This delay adversely affected building permissions and construction rules, creating complications for property owners and developers. UDCPR promises to streamline these processes, offering a fresh start for small property owners.

The journey towards this pivotal moment began on June 30, 2011, when the State Government took the visionary step of incorporating these 23 villages into the PMC limits. Subsequently, the PMRDA (Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority) was appointed as the special planning authority for these villages, consolidating all planning powers within its jurisdiction

The 23 villages set to benefit from this decision include Mahalunge, Sus, Bavdhan Budruk, Kirkatwadi, Pisoli, Kondhwa-Dhawade, Kopare, Nanded, Khadakwasla, Manjari Budruk, Narhe, Holkarwadi, Autade-Handewadi, Wadachiwadi, Shewalewadi, Nandoshi, Sanas Nagar, Mangdewadi, Gujar Nimbalkarwadi, Bhilarewadi, Jambhulwadi, Kolewadi, and Wagholi. Each of these communities holds immense potential for growth and development under the UDCPR framework.

Advocacy Rewarded

Advocacy efforts from civil rights organizations and local representatives played a pivotal role in urging the State government to apply UDCPR rules to these villages. After persistent demands and advocacy, the doors have finally opened for villagers to avail themselves of the benefits conferred by these regulations.

Looking Ahead

As the development plan undergoes final approvals, the official sanctioning of UDCPR regulations marks a critical turning point for Pune’s merged villages. This decision underscores the government’s commitment to inclusive and sustainable urban development, promising a resurgence of growth and economic activity in these vibrant communities.

Despite the initial enthusiasm, progress was hindered by delays in finalizing the development plan by the PMRDA, leading to stalling of real estate projects and building permissions. This setback prompted sustained advocacy efforts from stakeholders, culminating in the State Government’s official sanctioning of UDCPR regulations on March 15, 2024.

Conclusion:

As the development plan undergoes final approvals from various organizations, we anticipate a resurgence of growth and economic activity in these vibrant communities. Stay tuned as we navigate this exciting phase together, unlocking new opportunities and possibilities for Pune’s expanding urban landscape.
