PUNE: The seven-year delay in the widening of the Katraj-Kondhwa road has led to a significant increase in land acquisition costs, now rising by ₹400 crore from initial ₹710 crore to a total of ₹1,100 crore.
Land acquisition remains the biggest hurdle for the project, forcing the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to seek additional funds from the state government to cover the increased expenses.
The Katraj-Kondhwa road was originally planned as an 84-meter-wide road in the development plan. The Municipal Corporation approved the project on October 31, 2018, with this road extending from Rajas Society to Khadi Machine Chowk and up to the Pisoli municipal limits.
The stretch from Rajas Society to Kapilamrut Dairy has already been completed while the remaining work on the Katraj-Kondhwa road has been stalled due to a lack of land acquisition.
