PMC Development Plan for 9 Merged Villages: 143 Changes, Lohgaon Gets Most; Maps Open for 30 Days

Pune, 9th November 2026: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has published 143 proposed changes to the development plan for nine villages merged into the city in 2017. Lohgaon has the most, 31 changes. The list and revised maps are open for public viewing for 30 days.

The nine villages are Lohgaon, Mundhwa-Keshavnagar, Hadapsar (Sadesatra Nali), Undri, Ambegaon Budruk, Ambegaon Khurd, Dhayari, Shivane and Uttamnagar. None of them has a sanctioned development plan (DP) yet, nine years after the merger.

Where to see the 143 changes to the DP

According to Punekar News, the list of changes and the revised maps can be seen at three places:

• The PMC website, pmc.gov.in
• The Town Planning office opposite Vidhan Bhavan
• The PMC main building in Shivajinagar

The changes were published in the Maharashtra Government Gazette under Section 28(4) of the MRTP Act. The reports we checked do not give the exact last date of the 30-day window, so check the notice on the PMC website before you go.

Which villages got the most changes

Civic Mirror reported this village-wise count:

• Lohgaon: 31
• Dhayari: 20
• Undri: 19
• Shivane: 18
• Uttamnagar: 18
• Ambegaon Budruk: 17
• Mundhwa-Keshavnagar: 15
• Hadapsar (Sadesatra Nali): 15
• Ambegaon Khurd: 7

These add up to more than 143, likely because some changes cover more than one village. One change applies to all nine villages.

By subject, 84 changes are about roads, 30 about amenity spaces and approved layouts, and 28 about reservations, according to the PMC figures reported by Punekar News and Civic Mirror.

Roads made narrower in Undri, Lohgaon and Mundhwa

Many road changes cut the width proposed in the 2025 draft. Pune Prime News reported these examples:

• State Highway 116 in Undri: from 60 metres to 45 metres
• Dhanori-Wagholi road in Lohgaon: from 36 metres to 24 metres
• Some 36-metre roads in Mundhwa-Keshavnagar: down to between 18 and 24 metres

Some alignments were also shifted to match what already stands on the ground. If your plot or society sits on one of these roads, a narrower road can mean less land taken for widening.

Reservations cancelled or changed

The same report said reservations for a playground, a water tank and a municipal office were dropped in Lohgaon. In Dhayari, a site reserved for a bus depot has been split so that it can also hold a truck terminal and a police station.

PMC says the reservation and amenity changes were made to match ground realities and existing buildings.

How the DP for 9 villages reached this stage

Work on the plan began in 2018 but stalled for years because of a shortage of town planning staff. In August 2024, the state appointed Abhijit Ketkar, then Assistant Director of Town Planning, as the designated officer, Civic Mirror reported.

The draft DP was published in October 2025 and drew 7,590 suggestions and objections. An expert committee heard them in four phases in March and April 2026 and submitted its report in July 2026. About 70 to 75 per cent of the objections were accepted in some form.

What happens after the 30 days

The changes are still proposals. After the viewing period, the plan goes to the state government for final approval under Section 30 of the MRTP Act. Only then will these villages get their first sanctioned DP.

Residents of nearby areas such as Wagholi, Kharadi and Katraj should also take a look, since roads in Lohgaon, Undri and Ambegaon connect to them. More on long-term road projects is in our Pune Ring Road status story, and other civic news is in Pune Civic.

We will update this story with the exact deadline and the process for any further objections once PMC publishes them.
