PMRDA, District Administration Push for Land Acquisition for Nashik Phata–Khed Elevated CorridorMaharashtra to Map Subdivided Land Plots in 18 Talukas Under Pilot Project
The Maharashtra Land Records Department has launched a pilot project to measure and map subdivided land plots (sub-holdings) in selected areas of the state.
Over the years, many plots have been informally subdivided, creating mismatches between the 7/12 land ownership document and official cadastral maps. The project aims to record these subdivisions accurately.
A total of 18 talukas across six revenue divisions have been chosen for the initiative, including Pune, Palghar, Raigad, Thane, Solapur, Sangli, Dhule, Jalgaon, Chandrapur, and Kolhapur.
The work will be executed by private agencies, which are currently being finalised through a tendering process.
To expand Dighi Port in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, the Adani Group has announced an additional investment of ₹42,500 crore. Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, which runs the port, and the Maharashtra government signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Monday.
This investment forms part of a broader initiative where the state government signed 15 MoUs worth over ₹56,000 crore during the India Maritime Week to boost port infrastructure, shipbuilding, and maritime technology.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the agreements aim to make Maharashtra a “maritime superpower of India.” The new MoUs include plans for port expansions, shipyard development, and industrial zones around ports.
The Adani Group had originally acquired the bankrupt Dighi Port in 2021 with a ₹705 crore bid and committed ₹10,000 crore for its revival and expansion. The new investment significantly scales up its long-term commitment to the project.
Along with Adani's investment, the Chowgule Group intends to invest ₹5,000 crore in shipbuilding and repair, and the JSW Group will invest ₹3,709 crore to expand facilities at Jaigad Port.
The Maharashtra government also plans to launch a water taxi service connecting the newly inaugurated Navi Mumbai Airport (operated by Adani) with the Gateway of India in South Mumbai — the first of its kind in India. Additionally, the state is developing a marina in Mumbai to promote water transport and tourism.
Foreign investors from the UAE, the Netherlands, and Sweden have also signed commitments to invest in Maharashtra’s maritime infrastructure. The IIT-Bombay will support the initiative by developing training and skill development programs for maritime sector employees.
The cumulative investments aim to strengthen Maharashtra’s 700-km coastline, enhance its role in global supply chains, and support India’s vision of becoming a major maritime economy.
CM Devendra Fadnavis suspends the ₹750-crore TDR proposal for Janata Vasahat Land in Pune and orders an investigation.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered an inquiry and suspended the ₹750-crore Transferable Development Rights (TDR) proposal concerning Janata Vasahat land in Pune.
The move follows a complaint by Minister of State Madhuri Misal, pointing out major irregularities in the SRA compensation process. Fadnavis has directed the Additional Chief Secretary of the Housing Department to conduct a probe into the matter in detail.
The SRA had proposed a one-time TDR to a private developer for more than 40 acres of land in exchange for the Janata Vasahat slum. However, there were discrepancies in the valuation: while the proposal estimated the land value at ₹750 crore, its official reassessment pegged it around ₹109 crore.
Officials said that the authorities misused the earlier land records and ready reckoner rates in making the inflated compensation calculation. The court has stayed all the proceedings with regard to the proposal pending an inquiry.
Madhuri Misal, confirming the decision of the Chief Minister, said the action would ensure transparency in the redevelopment process for Janata Vasahat and safeguard public resources.
Maharashtra Govt Rejects Lease Renewal of Jeejeebhoy Trust Land in Mumbai
The Jeejeebhoy Trust's land lease for two plots in the Mazgaon neighbourhood of Mumbai has not been renewed by the Maharashtra government. The state revenue department made the decision in response to anomalies in the lease renewal payment procedure.
According to officials, the trust held leasehold rights over two government-owned plots — one measuring about 725.76 square metres and another approximately 9,154.10 square metres. The renewal payment was allegedly made into government accounts by Ekya Realty Pvt Ltd, a private company, instead of the trust.
Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule ordered that the amount deposited irregularly by the trust or the developer be refunded immediately. He stated that if the trust submits a fresh lease renewal application, it will be reviewed as per government policy.
Earlier, a government resolution dated September 24, 2025, had allowed for the refund and permitted renewal, and the refund process is already underway.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Sachin Ahir raised the issue, alleging that certain business entities were attempting to acquire the government land under the pretext of the trust. He demanded that the state take possession of the properties, auction them, and decide on their future development.
Zepto's "10-Minute Land" Offer: A Blend of Real Estate and Fast Commerce
India’s quick-commerce pioneer Zepto has taken its “10-minute delivery” model far beyond groceries — into real estate. The company recently announced a partnership with The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) to allow users to browse and book plots of land via the Zepto app, promising the entire process can be completed in about ten minutes.
This campaign, launched around Janmashtami, marks a bold step in redefining how fast high-value purchases can happen in India’s digital ecosystem.
How Does the “10-Minute Land” Model Work?
The process is designed to mimic Zepto’s signature delivery experience — but for land:
- Users open the Zepto app and search for “land.”
- Listings from HoABL projects appear, showing plot locations and pricing.
- Interested buyers can reserve their chosen land by paying a token amount online.
Within minutes, confirmation and documentation follow through secure digital channels.
While this doesn’t mean the entire property transaction is completed in ten minutes, the initial booking and reservation process is now lightning-fast — a symbolic nod to Zepto’s identity.
Why Is Zepto Entering Real Estate?
- Brand Expansion Beyond Groceries: Zepto wants to stand out in the rapidly changing quick-commerce market by focusing on high-value, experience-driven industries.
- Appeal to Millennial Investors: Younger consumers are more receptive to digital-first investments, including real estate, because they are accustomed to instant gratification.
- Marketing Innovation: The “10-minute land” tagline has generated massive buzz, aligning Zepto with speed, innovation, and convenience in every sphere.
The Challenge of Fast-Tracking Real Estate
Buying land isn’t as simple as ordering groceries — and that’s where the complexity lies.
- Regulatory obstacles:Title checks, verification, and documentation are necessary for real estate transactions and cannot be omitted.
- Risks to transparency:Traditional procedures are still required for the legal completion process, even though Zepto's platform may manage discovery and token payments.
- Scalability issues: At the moment, this service is only available for a few HoABL projects in areas like Vrindavan and Neral; the viability of extending to additional cities will rely on regulatory considerations.
Mahindra Lifespace Acquires 13.46-Acre Land Parcel in Pune for ₹3,500 Crore Housing Project
In order to build a massive residential project with an estimated GDV gross development value of ₹3,500 crore, Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd., the real estate and infrastructure development division of the Mahindra Group, has acquired a 13.46-acre plot of land in Pune.
The new land is located in Nande–Mahalunge, one of Pune’s most promising growth corridors connecting Hinjewadi, Baner, and Balewadi. The acquisition reinforces Mahindra Lifespace’s focus on expanding its footprint in high-demand urban micro-markets with strong infrastructure potential.
A Strategic Location in Pune’s Western Corridor
The Nande–Mahalunge area has rapidly emerged as a real-estate hotspot in recent years, thanks to its proximity to key employment hubs such as Hinjewadi IT Park, Baner, and Balewadi High Street. It is also part of the PMRDA Town Planning Scheme, which will further enhance road networks and civic infrastructure.
Mahindra Lifespace’s new project will benefit from these infrastructural developments, offering easy access to the Mumbai–Bengaluru Expressway, Pune Metro, and proposed ring road connectivity, making it a well-connected and desirable address for future homebuyers.
₹3,500 Crore Project with Premium Residential Focus
Industry estimates suggest the development could include a mix of 2, 3 and 4 BHK configurations, following Mahindra Lifespace’s consistent approach of integrating sustainability, open spaces, and green architecture in all its projects.
A GDV of ₹3,500 crore places this among the company’s largest projects in western India, signalling strong confidence in Pune’s luxury housing demand.
