In a transformative step for Nagpur’s urban future, the state government has transferred over 7,167 hectares of government land to the Nagpur Metropolitan Region Development Authority (NMRDA)—the largest such allocation in the city’s history. This move strengthens NMRDA’s land bank and paves the way for long-term infrastructure, housing, and public service expansion.
The land spans nine talukas: Hingna (2,927.71 ha), Nagpur Rural (1,205.95 ha), Parseoni (832.18 ha), and others including Kamptee, Mouda, Kalmeshwar, Saoner, Kuhi, and Umred. It includes government-owned land, grazing lands (gairan), and religious trust (Devsthan) properties, many previously under Gram Panchayats or Zilla Parishads.
Under the Maharashtra Metropolitan Region Development Authorities Act, 2016, NMRDA now holds full planning and development authority over the transferred land. A government resolution dated May 2, 2025, mandates NMRDA to formulate a transparent Land Disposal Policy, subject to state approval.
Before the handover, district collectors must clear encroachments. Post-transfer, NMRDA is responsible for maintaining the land and preventing further encroachments. Special category lands like gairan and Devsthan must be managed in accordance with judicial guidelines.
This strategic land bank is expected to drive major projects—from road networks and industrial zones to affordable housing—while also attracting private investment and creating employment. With this transfer, Nagpur takes a bold step toward becoming a well-planned, future-ready metropolitan hub.
