Maharashtra Government to Issue Individual Property Cards for Flat Owners
The Maharashtra government has offered a compensation package of ₹1 crore per acre to farmers whose land is being acquired for the proposed Purandar International Airport project near Pune.
District Collector Jitendra Dudi made the announcement, which is a part of the state's attempt to expedite the long-delayed Greenfield airport project. Officials say the new rate is about four times the area's current ready reckoner rate.
Compensation Details
The package includes:
- A cash compensation of ₹1 crore per acre for the acquired land.
- Additional payment equivalent to twice the value of existing structures and agricultural assets such as houses, borewells, and fruit-bearing trees.
- Allocation of 10% of the developed land back to the farmers after the project is completed.
Authorities said that disbursement of compensation is expected to begin by the end of November, following completion of formal procedures.
Villages Affected
The land acquisition covers seven villages — Ekhatpur, Khanwadi, Kumbharvalan, Munjawadi, Pargaon, Udachiwadi, and Vanpuri — in Purandar taluka of Pune district. The total land required for the airport is around 3,200 acres, according to the latest estimates.
The government has already secured consent for nearly 90% of the land, easing one of the major bottlenecks in the project’s progress.
Farmers Seek Higher Compensation
While the offer marks a major step forward, several farmers have said that the proposed rate is “not acceptable.”
Farmer representatives argue that landowners affected by other infrastructure projects in Maharashtra, such as the Samruddhi Mahamarg, have received higher compensation. They are demanding a payout equivalent to five times the ready reckoner rate and have requested further consultations with government officials before final approval.
