Major Government Update: MMRDA Officially Appointed as NTDA Authority
The Maharashtra Government has officially appointed MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority) as the New Town Development Authority (NTDA) under Section 113(3A) of the MRTP Act for the newly notified growth region. This marks an important shift from the notification stage to active planning and execution under MMRDA.
Key Highlights:
• MMRDA now has full legal authority for project planning, development execution, land acquisition, and preparation of Development Control Regulations (DCR).
• Existing Special Planning Authorities and Local Authorities in the NTDA-notified area will cease their planning powers.
• MMRDA has been directed to prepare and submit detailed planning proposals for Government approval.
• Until the new NTDA regulations are approved, the existing Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (UDCPR) will continue to apply.
• MMRDA is officially authorized to acquire land and make budget provisions for future development.
Why This Matters:
This notification officially empowers MMRDA to execute planning, land acquisition, and infrastructure development in the NTDA region, creating a clear roadmap for structured urban expansion in Mumbai 3.0.
MIDC Circular Update (19 December 2012): Revised Industrial Land Allotment Policy
The MIDC circular dated 19.12.2012 introduces an updated industrial land allotment framework, expanding the earlier 1994 policy with a stronger cost recovery and financial protection model.
Key Highlights:
• Industrial land pricing is now based on actual land acquisition cost incurred by MIDC.
• Cost calculation includes compensation to landowners, solatium, interest liabilities, administrative expenses, legal expenses, and establishment charges.
• MIDC can recover infrastructure development costs such as roads, drainage, water supply, and internal development.
• If landowners receive enhanced compensation through court orders, the additional amount can be recovered from the allottee.
• Delayed payments may attract additional interest or penalty charges.
Why This Matters:
This revised policy strengthens MIDC’s financial protection and ensures proper recovery of acquisition, development, and legal costs in industrial land allotments.
