1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND AND GENESIS OF SPA
World-over, cities are rapidly growing. The burgeoning population of Indian cities is spilling over
to its suburban areas, leading to unplanned, haphazard growth and urban sprawl. As
urbanization is imposing itself like a juggernaut, cities are struggling with increasing pressure
on their environment, infrastructure and resultant issues such as pollution, overcrowding,
declining quality of life, resource shortage, etc. Planners, city managers and governments are
constantly looking for solutions and ways to bring about cities which are sustainable, self-
sufficient, economically vibrant and that provide good quality of life for its citizens. Maharashtra
State Road Development Corporation Limited (MSRDC), declared their intent to develop 71
villages along the Mumbai-Pune Expressway (MPEW) with total area of 186.72 sq.km. and has
taken the initiative to develop the Special Planning Area and prepare its Development Plan.
This SPA Notified area comprises 71 villages of Panvel & Khalapur Taluka of Raigad District
covering an area of 186.72 sq. km. and has a population of 1,01,175, as per census 2011. This
area was part of NAINA before appointing MSRDC as SPA for said area.
Market demand pressure due to the scarcity of land availability for new developments within
the urban nodes especially Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Pune. SPA is expected to relieve
some of that pressure off these cities while providing quality of life.
To create a vibrant, diverse, inclusive, modern and smart development along Mumbai -
Pune Expressway which shall act as a magnet for people and attract investment and
economic activities from across the globe. It would synthesize the best features of urban
planning, sustainability, environment protection and effective governance to create an
inclusive, livable, and world class regional city.
Presently, development in the SPA is guided by MMR Regional Plan (RP) of MMRDA and
Raigad RP of T&CP Department, for the areas under their corresponding jurisdictions. The
SPA owing to its locational advantages of being on Mumbai-Pune Expressway and in close
proximity to various ports and airports is expected to grow at a fast pace. To manage such
development pressures, provisions of MMR RP and Raigad RP are not adequate hence;
legal provisions by way of Development Plan (DP) and Development Control Regulations
(DCR) are considered to be necessary.
Based on the above considerations, it was proposed to prepare a Development Plan for 71
Villages along Mumbai-Pune Expressway as provided under section 23 to 26 of the MR&TP
Act, 1966.

2 REGIONAL SETTING
T he MSRDC SPA Area is situated in Western Ghats biogeographic zone between the
coordinates of 73°13'18.221"E and 18°50'52.809"N' in Panvel and Khalapur Talukas of
Raigad district in the State of Maharashtra. The area being delineated along the Mumbai- Pune
Expressway, it has a linear spatial distribution with spine formed by the Expressway and
exhibits high degree of regional connectivity. The site is strategically located between the two
important urban centers of the state - Mumbai and Pune, which are at a distance of around 45
km and 80 km. respectively, while Navi Mumbai is at a distance of about 20 km. It is situated
between outskirts of Panvel city and Khandala hill station in the Western Ghats. The SPA is
also located close to other second and third order towns of the region - Panvel (30 km), Khopoli
(20 km), Lonavala (12 km), Khandala (8 km), Thane (54 km), Kalyan (52 km) and Karjat (15
km).
Two railway lines- Konkan railway and Western railway (connecting Central Line of Mumbai
Suburban Rail Line) are passing through the SPA. Rail connectivity for commuters in SPA area
is available in Chouk Manivali village with limited frequency. The village settlements are
connected through Major District Roads and village roads other than state highway and
national highway. The existing transport network (road and railway) for MSRDC SPA area with
rest of the MMR region is shown in Map 2-2.
There are three international airports within a 100 km radius of MSRDC SPA area, namely,
Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport located around 50 km from the SPA and Pune
International Airport located at a distance of around 70 km. The upcoming Navi Mumbai,
International Airport (located in Ulwe node of Navi Mumbai) falls within 13 km from the SPA. As
far as sea ports are concerned, India’s major port, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) is
situated in close proximity to MSRDC SPA area which is the highest container handling port of
India, due to which, warehousing and logistic hubs activities have developed in the MSRDC
SPA area.
2.3.1 TOPOGRAPHY
The project area is a narrow strip of land from Panvel taluka in North to Khalapur taluka in
South with hilly and rugged topographic features on south and western boundaries with
reserved and private forests. These hills are an extension of the Sahyadri hills formed by the
offshoots of the Sahyadri, which runs parallel to the drainage pattern of the district. The project
area has diverse topography with hills at the edges to the plain land in the middle, which
creates an ideal river valley setting for the development surrounded by natural assets.
Elevation of the project area ranges from 12 meters in Ajivali village and increases southwards
up to 531 meters. At northeast, Irshalgad is the highest peak with 531m altitude, followed by
extension of Manikgad at west with 525m height having steep slopes on the eastward direction.
Garmal plateau in the south with altitude of 485m is the highest plateau suitable for
development. The continuous mountainous terrain lies at southwestern and southern part of
the study area.
2.3.2 SLOPE
MSRDC SPA project area has number of hills of varied slopes from gentle to very steep. In the
central to western part till southern extent, a mix of flat and hilly areas having valleys & peaks is
observed. In order to carry out slope analysis, the values are determined in map (Map 2-3) with
0 0 0
slopes in the range of 0 to >11.3 . The steepest slope observed in project area is 25 i.e. 47%.
Through this slope analysis, it is observed that approximately 49% of land is levelled ground,
0 0
which has a slope angle from 0 to 2 , which is suitable for all types of land uses.
From the figure, it can be observed that approximately 75% of land is within the safe slopes
o
(i.e. below 11.3 ) to propose suitable type of land uses. However, out of this 75%, about 14% is
within forestland and 4% is within water bodies. Thus, it is inferred that, approximately 57% of
land (i.e. approximately 106 sq.km) is suitable for development within safe slopes.
The soils in project area are formed from the Deccan Trap with medium black and deep black
soil type. The soil characteristics are predominantly shallow, well-drained, loamy and clayey
soils. The basalt is a predominant rock formation of the project area.
2.3.4 HYDROLOGY
MSRDC SPA lies in the sub basins of Patalganga and Amba rivers. Amba river originates from
Chavani village, which flows towards the west from east. Patalganga River flows across central
part of SPA area. There are several streams, which contribute to the flow of Patalganga. The
project area is bestowed with fresh water resources like Devloli, Donvat, Nadhal, Borila and
Adoshi Dams and several reservoirs, lakes and ponds.
2.4 CLIMATE
2.4.1 TEMPERATURE
The mean minimum temperature is 16°C and the mean maximum temperature is 38°C. April
and May are the hottest months with mean daily temperature between 38°c to 36°c. The
temperature statistics reveal that the period from December to April is dry, humidity increases
in summer and is the maximum in May. The period from June to October is a wet period. The
precipitation as well as humidity gradually decreases in November. Mist and dew upto the
month of December is observed and thereafter the climate is dry.
2.4.2 RAINFALL
For Khalapur average rainfall in 10 years (2003-2013) is 3900 mm and that of Panvel, is 3016
mm. Average rainfall of Khalapur taluka is more owing to the presence of Sahyadri Mountains
of Pune district, which hold the monsoon clouds that result into precipitation.
2.4.3 WIND
Winds are very strong and blow from west-southwest during the monsoon season. During
October to December, winds are moderate but sometimes strong in October and blow from
directions between northeast and southeast to southwest and northwest. The winds continue to
be moderate during January to March and are predominantly from North to South and East to
West. In April, there is slight strengthening of wind and the direction is variable. In May, the
winds are further strengthened and the magnitude is between southwest to northeast and
northwest to southwest. This yearly pattern of wind direction will have to be considered while
planning the locations of amenities such as dumping ground and industrial zone.
2.5 ENVIRONMENT
Ecological setting of MSRDC SPA is different from the nearby areas. From environmental point
of view, the SPA area is strategically located as it is surrounded by Matheran ESZ, Karnala
Bird Sanctuary and Lonavala, Khandala ESZ on three sides.
2.5.1 FOREST
Almost a quarter of the project area is under forest, land, which characterizes more or less
sparse to thick vegetation of average height of 4-12 m. The type of forest in the project area is
tropical semi-evergreen and moist-deciduous Forest. As per the records of Forest department,
the project area covers reserved forests and protected forests. Location of forest areas in
MSRDC SPA area is shown in Map 2-4.
ESZ Villages
Matheran has been declared as an Eco-Sensitive zone (ESZ) by the Union Environment
Ministry on 4 February 2003. Four villages of MSRDC SPA are included in buffer area of
Matheran ESZ viz., Chowk Manivali, Lodhivali, Nadhal, and Barwai. However, the ESZ buffer
area is limited upto existing Panvel-Karjat railway line.
Western Ghat ESA has been declared by the Union Environment Ministry in February 2017.
Total four villages of MSRDC SPA come in the Western Ghats (Malabar Plains) ESA viz.,
Nadhal, Adoshi, Chavani and Talavali.
There are several tourist destinations and heritage sites within and around project area, which
are shown in Figure 2-1 and listed as follows:
ND Studios
ND Studios is named after director Nitin Desai. It is located at Hatnoli village near Chowk and is
spread over 37 acres of land. This studio is a major tourist attraction, many famous films and
TV shows are shot here and sets of few films are still there. It falls within the project boundary
and is located around 18 kms from Panvel. ND Studios is also coming up with a ND Theme
Park.
Adlabs Imagica is an amusement park situated in Khopoli. Spread over an area of 300 acres
and built with an investment of INR1650 Crores, it includes international standard theme park,
water park, snow park and a hotel. The park has an estimated daily capacity of 12,000 to
15,000 visitors. The footfalls every year is in the range of 15 to 17 lakhs, and in the last 4 years,
the total footfalls were around 50 lakhs. Around 35% of the visitors are from outside the State,
out of which 60% of visitors are from Gujarat and the remaining are from the states of
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi and Telangana. With a staff strength of around 1500, it
generates employment and attracts population. Poor accessibility and last mile connectivity are
challenges faced by this facility. Pick-up and drop-off points on Khalapur Toll, direct bus facility
to Khopoli Railway Station are some of the urgent requirements.

Umberkhind Chavani
Umberkhind is a famous
trekking destination at Chavani.
At Umberkhind, one can
retrace the footsteps of
Chhatrapati Shivaji and his
army, where he cleverly
defeated Mughal ruler Kartalab
Khan. Battle of Umberkhind
took place on 2 February 1661
in the mountain range of
Sahyadri. The battle was fought
between the Marathas under
Chhatrapati Shivaji and Figure 2-2: Umberkhind Chavani
Kartalab Khan of Mughals. The Source: Trell.com
Marathas defeated the Mughal forces. Mughal forces consisted of 35,000 men while there was
just 1,000 light Maratha cavalry. The battle is known for the strategic manner in which Shivaji
deployed his forces and rapid movement that his cavalry was able to achieve.
Matheran
Matheran is the famous hill station in Karjat Tehsil, Raigad District. It is located on the range of
Western Ghats at height of 800m above mean sea level. It is an eco-sensitive region, declared
by the Ministry of Environment and Forest and therefore, vehicles are not allowed inside its
limits, which make the place different from others. It is around 80 kms from Mumbai and 60 km
from Navi Mumbai. There are several spots, which provide spectacular views of the
surrounding hills and valleys, and it has a reasonably dense forest cover. It is situated at a
distance of 30 km from Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
Machiprabal
The Karnala Bird Sanctuary is located in Panvel Taluka, Raigad district. This is the first bird
sanctuary of Maharashtra covering an area of about 12.11 sq.km. At a height of 445 meters
above sea level, Karnala is known for the thumb shaped pinnacle on the top. Pinnacle is a
famous spot for professional mountain climbers. It is centered on the historic Karnala Fort and
lies just off to Mumbai-Pune Highway. It is around 60 kms. from Mumbai and 30 kms. from Navi
Mumbai.
Kondane Caves
Zenith Waterfalls
Zenith Waterfall is a very famous waterfall in Khopoli, Raigad District. The waterfall has scenic
surroundings and attracts a large number of tourists every year. The height of the waterfall is
about 80-90 feet and it is a seasonal waterfall, remains active only in monsoon. Apart from
waterfall, major attractions are rappelling and trekking around the waterfall.
Mahad village is situated in Khalapur Taluka, Raigad District. The temple is situated in a scenic
place and is the new extension to the main temple. The Varadvinayak temple at Mahad is
located on the Mumbai-Pune Highway. Mahadcha Varadvinayak is considered to be one of the
Ashta Vinayak shrines of Maharashtra, celebrating eight instances of legends related to
Ganesha.

The above trend shows sudden decrease in AAGR in between 2001-2011, which needs to be
considered while projecting the future population. Population distribution within the area varies
significantly based on geographical context and provision of infrastructure. Village wise
population distribution within the MSRDC SPA is shown in Map 3-1 below.
SPACE LEFT
INTENTIONALLY BLANK
If observed village wise, the villages with proximity to Railway Stations and Expressway
possess higher population from those at distance. This clearly shows that accessibility to
transportation and livelihood opportunities are responsible for population growth in any
settlement.
3.4 SUMMARY
In existing scenario, MSRDC SPA area is peri-urban in nature. The growth rate of project area
is low as compared to surrounding development. The share of total population of MSRDC SPA
out of MMR population is 0.45% only, whereas it occupies 4.28% of MMR area. Hence, the
area occupied by MSRDC SPA has potential to accommodate more population share of MMR.
The density and growth rate of MSRDC SPA is comparatively low as compared to adjoining
ULBs, which may be due to lack of direct access from MPEW. Thus, improved connectivity to
the villages in SPA Area will help in boosting the growth of MSRDC SPA area. Apart from the
Census Towns and villages adjoining them, the overall density of MSRDC SPA is low, which
can be further increased by boosting economic growth and improving transport connectivity.

4.3 SUMMARY
The figure 4-1, existing land use details of project area, clearly portrays the predominant peri-
urban character of the area. Agricultural activity occupies 35% of the total area indicating the
presence of agrarian economy. Almost a quarter of the project area is covered by forestland
with hilly terrain.
The total developed land occupies only 17.01% of the total area, out of which industrial activity
is the most prominent one occupying 6.12% as it is in consonance with sanctioned Regional
Plan of Raigad. The residential areas account for only 5.08% of the project area. This can be
enhanced to accommodate the projected population for future years. As a whole, the project
area has very less organized recreational area, which needs to be further improved in the
planning exercise. Only 3.45 % of the project area is used for transportation. The project area
has significant percentage of vacant land, which can be utilized for further growth. A
comprehensive strategy on land utilization with respect to land use of the project area is
necessary, which will improve development prospects of the project area.

5 TRANSPORTATION
5.1 REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY
T he geographical position of the SPA and the presence of MPEW and NH-48, links the SPA
with Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Pune along with the other second and third order towns of
the region. NH-48, which starts at Delhi, traverses through 6 states of India before it terminates
at Chennai and connects enroute Jaipur, Udaipur, Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru.
Thus, the SPA area is exceptionally well connected to all the nationally important urban centers
of the region by the virtue of NH-48. Apart from NH-48, the intra state connectivity is
established through SH-107 & SH-104, which connects the SPA to Rasayani industrial area
and further to Ratnagiri, SH-88 that connects the area to Pen, SH-79 that connects the site with
Aurangabad, SH-13 which connects to Navapur, Kudashi, Sakri and SH-76 which connects the
area to Solapur. MSRDC SPA area has two railway lines namely Panvel - Karjat in eastern side
and the Konkan railway on the western side of the project area but these are mostly used for
goods transport.
5.2.1 ROADS
The MPEW traverses along the notified area touching Arivali village at the north and Adoshi
village at southern end of the area. The length of the expressway falling within MSRDC SPA
notified area is around 30 km. Further, the alignment passes through almost 30 villages giving
ample opportunity for economic development. MPEW has five grade separators viz : 1)
Shedung, 2) Khalapur, 3) Lonavala, 4) Kusgaon, 5) Talegaon connecting east and west parts
of the notified area.
National Highway 48 (earlier known as NH-4), with a total length of 2807.5 km starts at Delhi
and ends at Chennai traversing through six states of India. It is a major trunk road within SPA
area, enters the project area at Kon village in north, runs for a length of 18.45 kms. before it
leaves the site at Chavani village in south. This is a four lane road, with ROW varying between
45m. to 60m. It has 18 road intersections within the MSRDC SPA area. Before the construction
of the Mumbai Pune Expressway, this was the only link between Mumbai and Pune.
State Highways
The state highways mostly pass through rural areas and are a major connectivity provider to
the existing industrial establishments. The major state highway within the MSRDC SPA area is
SH-104 (Sawla - Apta road). Total length of the state highways within SPA area is 48.58 kms.
Seven state highways pass through SPA area and provide major connectivity to the other
urban centers of the region. The detail lengths of State Highway are shown in Table 5-1 below.
Table 5-1: Details of existing state highways within the development plan area
SH No. Length (in km)
MSRDC SPA area has several Major District Roads passing through various villages. It is the
tertiary road system to provide accessibility to the village settlements and forms vital link with
state highway and national highway in the project area. The details of existing Major District
Roads/ Other District Roads are given in Table 5-2.
Other local road and village roads are considered to be major contributors to economic
development and provide basic connectivity to the villages for its all-round socio-economic
development. Mostly these roads are narrow, with average width varying between 5-6 meter.
Railways
Panvel - Karjat railway line traverses from north to east direction and Panvel - Goa railway line
from north to western part of the MSRDC SPA area. Rasayani railway station (Konkan Railway)
is situated just outside the SPA area at less than 1km distance. Apta railway station on Konkan
railway network is situated at 5 km distance from the nearest village Washivali inside SPA area.
Mohape railway Station on Panvel - Karjat railway line is within a kilometer from Khanavale
village. There is only one railway station in Chouk Manivali village with limited frequency and do
not cater enough to the needs of the local population of SPA area. The southern part of the
MSRDC SPA area totally lacks railway connectivity from other parts of the region due to its hilly
terrain.
Airport
A proposed International Airport named Navi Mumbai International Airport is coming up at Navi
Mumbai, about 30 km from the center of the project area which will improve the connectivity of
SPA area by air.
Ports
Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), which is the highest container handling port of India, is
situated in close proximity (31 km approximately) to MSRDC SPA area, due to which,
warehousing and logistic hubs activities have developed in the MSRDC SPA area. Industrial
developments, logistic and warehousing facilities have been established all along the major
transport corridors in the northern most part of the project area. Proximity to JNPT is an added
advantage to MSRDC SPA area.
The port is connected to Southern region of Maharashtra and India by the interchange in SPA
through Expressway, NH 48 and NH 348 at Arivali. The other major port nearby is Mumbai port
which is situated at a distance of 60 kms from SPA and is connected through Mumbai-Pune
expressway and SH 105. The minor ports of Rewas and Dighi are about 60 km and 112 km
from SPA, respectively.
Presently, Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) operates the bus services
to the project area.
5.2.4 SUMMARY
The project area has good existing and proposed regional connectivity with Greater Mumbai,
Mumbai Metropolitan Region & surrounding areas. The entire SPA area suffers due to lack of
poor internal connectivity. Lack of proper access within the SPA area makes the site less
preferred destination as compared to nearby MMR areas. Due to this, though there is
availability of vacant land the same cannot be accessed. There is lack of Public Transportation
facilities within the SPA Area.
T he sustainability and quality of life in any urban area is closely linked to the quantity and
quality of basic infrastructure facilities that supports it. This chapter gives the brief
assessment of existing social and physical infrastructure in MSRDC SPA.

With regard to educational facilities, there are 132 primary schools and secondary schools, out
of which only eight schools satisfy the planning norms. These eight schools are in villages
namely Arivali, Bhatan, Wasambe, Tupgaon, Savroli, Devnhave, Kharsundi, Majgaon and
Somtane. Most of the primary schools are of Zilla Parishad. Only 19 primary schools are
private schools. Most of the schools in the area are in rented premises with no playground
facility and have inadequate and poor building.
In case of health facilities, there are five PHCs and seven private hospitals in MSRDC SPA
area. These five PHCs are located in Ajivali, Hatnoli, Dapiwali, Rees and Tupgaon. The seven
hospitals are located in Ambivali Tarf Tungartan, Wasambe, Chouk Manivali, Tupgaon, Lohop,
Kumbhivali and Lodhivali. Apart from these, there are two veterinary hospitals located in
Wasambe and Tupgaon.
There are in total 65 socio-cultural facilities in MSRDC SPA area. Two libraries are located in
Tupgaon and Chowk Manivali. There are 60 community centers. These small community
centers and libraries are developed in Gaothan area through Zilla Parishad fund with very
inadequate built up area and without adequate basic facility like toilet, parking etc. Existing
recreational facilities are nil as there are no parks and gardens in MSRDC SPA area.
Apart from these, there are nine colleges within the SPA Area - Amity University, Wilfred’s
College, Pillai College and Vishwaniketan college are major ones. Facilities like Anganwadi,
Police stations and crematorium are also located in MSRDC SPA area. There are five police
stations located within the project area. Numbers of cremation and burial ground facility are 80.
The area lacks the fire brigade and allied services.
6.1.1 SUMMARY
Even though the social facilities appear to be more in number, most of these facilities are not
as per the required norms. The following inadequacies are observed with regard to existing
social facilities:
While preparing the development plan, those facilities which fulfill the planning norms and
above criteria are only considered and accordingly new facilities are spatially distributed across
the DP Area.
As per Census 2011, the census houses based on their condition are classified in three
categories viz. good, livable and dilapidated. The number of households living in dilapidated
condition of census houses will have to be considered while calculating the housing demand for
horizon year. Out of the total number of households in MSRDC SPA area, 72.9% live in census
houses having good condition and 24.8% live in census houses having livable condition, while
2.21% of households live in houses which are dilapidated in condition.
As per Census 2011, the type of structure of census houses is divided in four categories viz.
permanent, semi-permanent, temporary and un-classifiable. Further, temporary houses are
again sub-divided in two categories – serviceable and non-serviceable. The number of
households living in non-serviceable houses has to be considered while calculating the housing
shortage as these households will add to the housing demand. Out of the total number of
households in MSRDC SPA area, 73.75% live in permanent houses, 22.85 % live in semi-
permanent houses and 1.33% live in temporary houses. Out of temporary houses, 0.5%
households live in serviceable houses and 0.83% live in non-serviceable houses.
As per Census of 2011, there are no identified slums in MSRDC SPA area. This was verified
during the primary survey carried out while preparing the ELU. Also, no emerging sites of slums
were identified.
As the project area is situated in the outskirts of city area, the land value is comparatively
lower. This results in construction of bigger size houses in project area leading to an increasing
demand for affordable housing. The current trend of developers around Panvel is that of budget
housing i.e. to build bigger and affordable homes at comparatively less prices than city areas,
by seeking benefit of the railway and highway connectivity, and also the road connectivity from
Kalyan, Karjat at Kalamboli. Due to the presence of educational institutions and student’s
population, rental housing is in good demand. Currently, there are small and big developers
already working in the project area. Developers like Hiranandani, India Bulls, and Godrej, etc.
have already commenced building huge townships. The development of MSRDC SPA project
would also bring in speculation in the market giving boost to overall development.
Development of the entire area is currently regulated as per DCRs applicable for MMR &
Raigad Regional Plan. Majority of the clusters in north and south of the project area have
observed industrial development along the existing national & state highways. Industrial
development includes small & large-scale manufacturing & service industries, warehouses,
container stations, engineering units, brick kilns, etc. Commercial development within the area
is restricted to small-scale hotels and shops along the highways and in nearby villages. Major
attraction in the area is Nitin Desai Studios and part portion of Adlabs Imagica, which is
included in south-west part of the area. As far as institutions are concerned, there are a few
major universities, colleges & hospitals developed along Mumbai Pune Expressway and Old
Mumbai Pune Highway. Some of these major institutes include Amity University & Dhirubhai
Ambani Hospital. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the regulator of the
securities markets in India, has opened the new campus of National Institute of Securities
Markets (NISM) in Mohopada (CT) in 2016. Types of residential settlements include mostly
gaothan/ village settlements, few low-rise apartments, large-scale residential/ commercial
townships and staff quarters.
As per National Rural Drinking Water Programme, 58% of the population of the MSRDC SPA
area has drinking water within habitation and 34% of population has drinking water availability
within the village. However, 8% of the population has to fetch water from outside the village.
In project area, there are total 335 water sources, out of which, 264 (79%) are ground water
sources and 71 (21%) are through water distribution network points. Ground water sources
include community well and bore well with power pump / dual pump / hand pump, whereas,
water distribution network points include stand post/ cisterns and house tap connection. Out of
the groundwater sources, community wells are highest in number. In the MSRDC SPA area,
the main agencies responsible for delivery of water supply are the respective Gram Panchayats
through MJP, a GoM undertaking. In addition to MJP, CIDCO and MIDC also supply water to
villages falling on the way of their bulk water supply line.
As per the existing scenario, the total quantity of water supplied by various agencies is 7.131
MLD. It is seen that in some villages, water is supplied through tankers, which indicate there is
no accessibility to water supply in these villages.
Out of the total 71 villages, 50 villages have access to safe drinking water. Eleven villages get
water from unsafe water sources. Also, there are 10 villages which have both safe and unsafe
drinking water sources.
There is no existing sewerage system in MSRDC SPA area. As per data available from Ministry
of Drinking Water and Sanitation, GoI, 100% population has access to toilets in the form of
individual toilets or through community toilets. The overflow as well as sullage from the houses
is let out into the rainwater drains wherever present or let out into the open in nearby areas.
6.3.3 DRAINAGE
The MSRDC SPA area receives a good amount of rainfall. Generally, there are no occurrences
of stagnation of water or flooding. As per Census of India, 2011, in MSRDC SPA, 41 villages
have open drainage. Three villages have closed drains while in 27 villages there are no
drainage connections. Closed drains are present in three Census town of Ambivali Tarf
Tungartan, Rees and Wasambe.
There is currently no planned collection and disposal of solid waste in the MSRDC SPA area.
The solid waste is disposed off/dumped in nearby areas close to the settlements. Most of the
industrial waste is dumped in Patalganga River. No major waste disposal site is earmarked in
MSRDC SPA area. At present, while granting group housing permissions, STP plants are
made mandatory to be provided by developer.
The project area is provided with electricity by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution
Company Ltd. There are four existing EHV substations of 100/200 KV within and in the vicinity
of MSRDC SPA area. In addition to the existing substation and switching station, two more
EHV (Extra High Voltage) substations are proposed at Palasphata, near Sai World City and a
220 KV substation is proposed in Tambati for Godrej company. In project area, out of the total
consumers, 88.25% are residential, 8.14% are commercial, 2.94% are Industrial and 0.67% are
agricultural consumers.
6.3.6 SUMMARY
The project area being partly peri-urban and partly rural in nature does not have a well-
developed water supply, sewerage and solid waste management network. These need to be
properly planned and developed to cater to the future growth in project area. Patalganga River,
Morbe and Devloli dams are in proximity however, there no assured water supply to the project
area through these sources. Thus, identifying water sources for SPA area will be a major task
while preparing development plan. Storm water drainage and storm water management are
major concerns due to undulating topography. Also, appropriate ways of solid waste
management needs to be thought of and sites should be earmarked for the same.

T he review of existing plans will facilitate the preparation of Development Plan for MSRDC
SPA. This chapter reviews in detail the Regional Plan for Mumbai Metropolitan Region
2016-2036, Development Plan for NAINA, Khalapur Smart City Concept Plan, Development
Plans of Urban Local Bodies adjacent to project area, namely Navi Mumbai Municipal
Corporation, Panvel Municipal Council and Khopoli Municipal Council, and Khopta New Town
Development Plan.
This review focuses primarily on aspects relevant to MSRDC SPA. The review of MMR-RP
2016-2036 and Raigad RP includes study of objectives, economic strategies and proposed
zoning and land use. The review of Khalapur Smart City Concept Plan focuses on Smart City
development concepts, broad zoning, environmental stewardship, and Smart City incentives
and development model. The review of Development Plans of adjacent ULBs includes study of
population projections, proposed land use pattern, transport network and social infrastructure.
The review of Khopta New Town Development Plan discusses objectives, development
potentials, land use allocation, environment and land development model. The Map 7-1:

7.2 SUMMARY
The Regional Plans, Development Plans and the SPA project area plans have been studied for
its application in terms of ELU preparation, technical inputs and implementation mechanisms.
While the MMR-RP and Raigad RP has a direct influence on the MSRDC – SPA project area,
others provide insights in the methodology and process in carrying out the DP.
The MMR–RP 2016-2036 has direct bearing in terms of jurisdiction of its plan on the MSRDC
SPA area. The status of Transport Network proposed in MMR RP and NAINA plans has a
bearing on the development of project area and thus these aspects needs to be considered
while preparing the DP of the Project area. While the MMR RP guided in preparation of the DP,
the Development Plan for MSRDC SPA will have to be largely looked independently,
considering the current trends and future needs. The Smart City concepts adopted in Khalapur
Smart City proposal can be explored and implemented in project area to develop it on lines of
the Smart City mission.
As far as the Development Control Regulations are concerned, some of the above-mentioned
proposals have focused on encouraging land pooling privately with incentives in the form of FSI
and TDR. MMR-RP 2016-2036 has proposed a Land Use zoning system that distinguishes the
Development areas and Conservation areas and made provisions to regulate development in
each zone. NAINA have adopted four zones namely, Urbanisable Zone 1 & 2, Green Zone 2
and Industrial Zone. The proposals considered while planning for MSRDC SPA area is shown
in Table 7-1.

8.6 SUMMARY
The project area is partly located within the limits of MMR, which is known for its strong
economic base. This can be seen as locational advantage for the project area. Due to strategic
location of the project area, it is an important link between two major metropolises in the state
viz. Mumbai and Pune. Economic development within the project area and its surrounding can
trigger the existing growth in the area. Also, close proximity to Navi Mumbai International
Airport and JNPT will further boost the economic development in the project area. Over the
years, there has been a shift in employment from primary to tertiary sector. This trend can be
continued forward and the industrial development can further be strengthened along with
introducing service sector industries. Connecting the project area to regional transport network
will further improve the connectivity to surrounding important economic growth centers which
will in turn benefit the project area. Also, the untapped tourism potential due to the proximity to
Lonavala, Khandala and Matheran needs to be explored.

Total population of MSRDC SPA area is 0.45% of MMR Population which is far below the
proportion of geographical area covered (4.5%)
Excellent regional connectivity.
Poor internal connectivity and public transport.
Inadequate recreational open spaces and social facilities.
Low density and low growth rate as compared to nearby ULBs.
Developed area consists of mostly residential and industrial land use.
Undeveloped area consists of predominantly forest and agricultural land with significant
percentage of vacant land.
Considerable industrial growth due to land use zoning of Raigad regional plan.
Tourism potential remains untapped in spite of proximity to Lonavala, Khandala and
Matheran while having similar geographic character.
Since four villages have already been included in Western Ghat eco-sensitive zone and due
to proximity to Karnala bird sanctuary and Matheran eco sensitive zone, environmentally
sensitive development to be undertaken.
Possible sources of water are Patalganga river, Morbe and Devloli Dams in proximity.
However, there is no assured water supply to the project area from these sources.
Storm water drainage and storm water management are major concerns due to undulating
topography.
No proper sewerage and solid waste management in the project area.
Shift of employment pattern from primary sector to tertiary sector over the decades.
Based on the inferences of the existing situation analysis carried out for MSRDC SPA area,
following are the conclusions.
1. Through the base study regarding the MSRDC-SPA area, it is understood that the project
area is unique in terms of its size, scale, context and setting. The planning of this area
needs to be looked through a combination of the Development Plan and Regional Plan
lens. The approach of this project thus covers the Development Plan mandates as well as
2. In existing scenario, MSRDC SPA area is peri-urban in nature. The growth rate of project
area is low compared to surrounding development. The share of total population of
MSRDC SPA out of MMR population is 0.45% only, whereas it occupies 4.28% of MMR
area. Hence, the area occupied by MSRDC SPA has potential to accommodate more
population share of MMR. The density and growth rate of MSRDC SPA is comparatively
low as compared to adjoining ULBs, which may be due to lack to direct access from
MPEW. Thus, improved connectivity to the villages will help in boosting the growth of
MSRDC SPA area.
3. The project area is partly located within the limits of MMR, which is known for its strong
economic base. This can be seen as an advantage for the project area. Due to strategic
location of the project area, it is an important link between two major metropolises in the
state viz. Mumbai and Pune. Economic development within the project area and its
surrounding can trigger the existing growth in the area. In addition, close proximity to Navi
Mumbai International Airport and JNPT will further boost the economic development in the
project area. Connecting the project area to regional transport network will further improve
the connectivity to surrounding important economic growth centers, which will in turn
benefit the project area. Also, the untapped tourism potential due to the proximity to
Lonavala, Khandala and Matheran should be addressed while framing Development Plan
proposals.
4. The area is predominantly covered by forest and agricultural land. The project area has
significant percentage of vacant land, which can be utilized for further growth. 3.4% of the
project area is used for transportation. The residential areas account for 7.44% of the
project area. This can be enhanced to accommodate the projected population for future
years. As a whole, the project area has very less organized recreational area, which needs
to be further improved. A comprehensive strategy on land utilization with respect to land
use of the project area is necessary, which will improve development and urban
infrastructure prospects of the project area.
5. 25 % of the project area is covered under forest and few areas are marked as eco-sensitive
zones. These areas should be prevented from further development to retain their original
form. Adoshi and Chavani falls under eco-sensitive zone and preservation of these areas
has to be an important aspect while envisaging development.
7. The project area does not have a well-developed water supply, Sewerage and solid waste
management network. These need to be properly planned and developed to cater the
future growth in project area. Patalganga River, Morbe and Devloli dams are in proximity
however, there no assured water supply to the project area through these sources. Thus,
identifying water sources for SPA area will be a major task while preparing for development
plan. Storm water drainage and storm water management are major concerns due to
undulating topography. Also, proper ways solid waste management needs to be thought of
and sites should be earmarked for the same. Considering social facilities, the existing
facilities are not as per required norms. Thus while preparing the development plan,
upgrading these facilities and provision of new facilities as per planning standards should
be taken up.
8. As the site is ecologically sensitive, the planning proposals should duly consider the
environmental aspects to safeguard the ecological balance and green cover in SPA area.
9. The MMR–RP 2016-2036 has direct bearing in terms of jurisdiction of its plan on the
MSRDC SPA project area. The status of Transport Network proposed in MMR RP and
NAINA plans are to be considered while preparing the Development Plan of the Project
area. While the MMR RP can guide in preparation of the draft DP, the Development Plan
for MSRDC SPA will have to be largely looked independently, considering the current
trends and needs.

INTENTIONALLY BLANK
B ased on the existing land use study and the situation assessments, it is understood that
the MSRDC SPA has high development potential due to presence of the MPEW, proximity
to regional centers such as Navi Mumbai, Mumbai and Pune as well as to towns like Panvel,
Khopoli and proposed NAINA. The area is also environmentally sensitive owing to the
presence of eco sensitive zones, forests and varied topography. Being in proximity to various
hill stations like Lonavala, Khandala, Matheran and Karnala Bird Sanctuary, the area has
tremendous potential to tap tourism and recreation related activities.
Thus, the planning exercise is aimed at bringing about economically progressive as well as
environmentally benign development, which is also socially inclusive. These understandings
along with the case studies and study of regional and local level influencing factors led to the
formulation of the vision for the MSRDC SPA area. This chapter states the vision, goals,
objectives identified as well as the approach adopted in formulation of development plan and
DCPR for MSRDC SPA area. This chapter also discusses the development principles and
strategies used in this development planning exercise.
“To enable transformation of the area into a magnet city which is resilient, high
in quality of life and is underpinned with green growth fostering social inclusion
and economic competitiveness”.
The goals derived from the vision for MSRDC SPA area are,
In order to achieve the overall vision through facilitating accomplishment of the structured
goals, certain tangible growth objectives were identified under each goal. All objectives are
based on four components that are economic, social, environmental and spatial planning. The
goals and the objectives identified are listed here.
The broad framework of technical methodology followed to arrive at the development plan for
MSRDC SPA area with the contents as outlined by section 22 of MR & TP act, 1966 making it
a comprehensive development, may be categorized into the following five stages.
This included data collection and collation, integrated base map and existing land use map
preparations. This also included the technical assessments such as growth trends, demand
estimations, infrastructure projections etc. Extensive literature review was also carried out
which offered the required background for further planning.
Using the GIS platform, developable area delineation was carried out. The main objectives
achieved were to arrive at contiguous areas, which would be best suitable for development in
view of specific land uses; maximize the utilization of areas suited for urban development and
conserve the sensitive areas through GIS based land potential and constraint analysis.
Grounded on the baseline studies, existing land use analysis, sector wise- development
capability analysis, developable area delineation and demand assessments three development
scenarios/ concept plans were generated to achieve the goals and objectives of the project. All
the alternative scenarios are prepared in alignment with the overall vision and objectives
formulated for the project area.
The evaluation of the multiple scenarios/ concepts was performed based on the following:
1. Stakeholder consultations.
The stakeholder consultations were conducted with various organizations, private bodies,
government and parastatal bodies and with residents of villages in MSRDC SPA. Their key
considerations were examined and plausibly integrated into a fourth concept plan, which is an
integrated outcome of various key growth drivers suggested in the previous three concepts.
All the four concepts were also evaluated based on KPIs derived from the vision, goals and
objectives of the project. This promoted the comparison of possible alternatives, in order to
choose the best solution for future development. The themes selected for the evaluation of
KPIs are as given below.
Optimization of resources
Competitiveness
Resilience
Environment sustainability
Stakeholder preferences
The finalized fourth concept that was the resultant of stakeholder interactions and ex-ante
evaluation by KPIs was further detailed and refined to make the development plan. The
development plan prepared is inclusive of proposed land use plan, transportation network,
physical and social infrastructure proposals, block cost estimates and implementation
strategies. The development control and promotion regulations (DCPR) and urban design
controls were also prepared which is described in detail in the volume on DCPR that is
prepared along with this report.
The key principle adopted here is to make the development plan a guiding tool for the future
developments within the SPA, without formulating highly deterministic and rigid development
plan and control regulations. The development plan is envisaged to be accommodative of the
futuristic market led developments responding to the evolving needs of its citizens, with focus
on abating multi-level negative externalities.
Anticipatory: Understanding and envisaging the national, regional and city level development
dynamics and planning accordingly.
Adaptive: The development plan should not be restrictive and contained. It shall allow flexibility
and accommodate changes, channelizing the growth in to desirable and sustainable ways.
Integrated: The planning area is not viewed in isolation while preparing the plan. The
development model and the growth strategies proposed are well integrated with the
surrounding planning areas and development plans in addition to integrating existing
developments.
The SPA area is proposed to be positioned as a ‘logistic, service sector and tourism powered
city with knowledge hubs.’ Large contiguous land availability, proximity to ports, regional
linkages and the locational advantages of being situated in proximity to Pune, Mumbai and
Navi Mumbai enhances the possibilities of development of the above-mentioned sectors within
SPA.
Adhering to the objectives of the exercise, multiple growth stimulators were identified. They are,
It is envisaged that freight logistics comprising of transportation, warehousing and value added
services spanning road, rail, sea and air shall act as an enabler and catalyst spurring economic
growth for MSRDC SPA area. It is also understood that the logistics hub generates direct and
indirect jobs and thus can be a key economic growth stimulus for the city. Tentative alignment
of dedicated freight loop connecting Konkan and Panvel- Mumbai railway line is also
recommended to stimulate and support logistic and industrial activities by enhancing port
connectivity.
The SPA area is proposed to be opened up for large areas of educational facilities with
sufficient permissible other uses so it can provide strategic placement of global, national and
state level institutions of excellence. This shall help in generation of high skilled talent pool/
labor force. The retention of the high skilled labor force is also imperative and to achieve this,
waterfront and other physical settings in the area is leveraged.
In order to boost the tourism sector in SPA area, flexible guidelines are formulated that shall
promote lands that are particularly suitable for development of tourism in view of the existing
water bodies, scenic beauty, plantations and geological formations.
The theme based zone approach is also followed. This is to provide conducive atmosphere for
investors from around the world to implement within SPA area, multiple markets led and
innovative concepts which may be in various sectors such as tourism, entertainment,
education, health, finance etc. This is anticipated to increase employment opportunities,
educational facilities, social inclusiveness and quality of life.
Creating distinct urban places that promote social interaction and increased value of the area is
the key idea that is articulated into developing zones with specific design guidelines.
Establishing high quality open spaces and establishing a relation with the context of the site
were prime considerations.
Particulars of the various land use zones proposed along with the rationale for proposing the
same are detailed out in the following chapter on Proposed Land Use Zones.
Given below are the factors that determined the evolution of spatial structure and land use
zoning of the SPA area:
Judicious and realistic assimilation of land use proposals of applicable regional plans i.e.
Raigad regional plan, 1992; Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Plan 2016-2036 as well as
Rees- Lodhivali Complex 1996(Growth Centre Plan) subsequently sanctioned for MMR
Plan and Pen-Panvel-Khalapur Growth Centre Plans sanctioned for Raigad Region Plan.
Integration of existing land uses and proposing complimentary adjacent uses.
Augmenting the existing regional and local transportation linkages proposing suitable
activities in proximity.
Topography and ecological settings of the planning area, framing the larger part of SPA
area at the northern portion of Patalganga river which was within MMR and a linear growth
pattern in the southern part of MSRDC in the Pen Panvel Khalapur growth center portion of
Raigad RP.
Leveraging visibility offered by MPEW (Mumbai Pune Express Way) for branding, by
placing institutional core and central business district along MPEW.
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) corridor proposed parallel to the metro lane running
from MMC interchange along the eastern part of expressway and connecting to the Khopoli
town, prescribing a denser, compact and mixed use development within the corridor.
Mobility for all by provision of public rapid transit systems such as metro rail connecting the
MMC to Khopoli and passing through major commercial and residential areas providing
north south connectivity; Sub urban rail extension that provides connectivity between
Chowk and Apte stations and provides regional linkage to sub urban system; BRTS
providing loops and linear connectivity for internal public transportations.
Alignment of residential and employment hubs along one or more of the mass public rapid
transit systems to provide affordable and efficient mobility.
The riverfront areas, which will provide east west NMT connectivity and green belt areas.
Protecting the eco sensitive areas by assigning eco sensitive zones adhering to the
relevant MoEF & CC notifications.

T he development plan generally indicates the manner in which the use of the land in the
area of the planning authority shall be regulated as well as the manner in which the
development of land therein shall be carried out. This chapter discusses the proposed land use
of the development plan 2016-2041, which shall provide the proposals for allocating the uses of
land for residential, commercial, CBD, industrial, public and semi- public uses etc., as well as
land allocation for recreational activities, transport, social and physical infrastructure.
MSRDC SPA has declared its intention to prepare development plan u/s 23 of MR&TP Act
1966 in 2016 (MGG dated 26.5.2016). As per directives issued by Director of Town Planning
dated 25.3.1997, the horizon years for reservations and land use zoning shall be 15 and 25
years respectively from the date of declaration of intention. Accordingly, the projected
population is considered for horizon year 2031 and 2041 for reservation and zoning
respectively.
The population of the MSRDC SPA area as per Census 2011 is 1,01,175. The population for
the years 2021, 2031 and 2041 for MSRDC SPA area has been projected through various
methods considering natural and induced growth. The existing population trends of the last five
decades in SPA area is as mentioned in Table 11-1.

The population for the years 2021, 2031 and 2041 for MSRDC SPA has been projected
through various methods and the summary is tabulated in Table 11-2:
density method is adopted in which the population growth has been projected along the lines of
area within the jurisdiction of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (area of 108.63 sq. km) and
which was also a green field area. Further to it, the Navi Mumbai area is in proximity with
MSRDC SPA area and with all due considerations it is expected that MSRDC SPA will also
develop in the same direction. Following table 11-3 shows the projected population adopted for
MSRDC SPA.
1 2021 1.56
2 2031 (For Reservation) 5.23
3 2041 (For Zoning) 11.48
In order that social and physical infrastructure is not stressed beyond its carrying capacity, due
to unchecked urbanization that might happen in decades to come, its proposed to cap the total
population at 20.83 lakhs, which is the population projected based on land use method, as
given in ELU report. A permanent cap on FSI at four is also proposed to meet this objective.
Proposed Planning Units: For ease in planning and allocating reservations uniformly, the
SPA area is divided into ten planning units taking into consideration the physical barriers such
as nala, river, road, rail and gaothan boundary as represented in the map 11-1 below.

The projected population given in Table 11-3 is distributed amongst ten planning units as given
in the Table 11-4. In the existing land use report when prepared and submitted, nine clusters
were initially identified based on administrative boundaries (village boundary). However, in the
planning stage the same has been fine-tuned to ten planning units keeping in view afore-
mentioned criteria. The Planning Unit wise Population distribution is shown in Table 11-4.

Note: The above area does not include area under MPEW, which comes to 264.92 Ha.
Together the area comes to 18672.65 Ha, which is the MSRDC SPA area.
Inferences are drawn from the existing situation assessments and existing land use studies.
The key ideas that emerged after the existing land use assessment that shall act as key
principles for determining the proposed land use for the SPA area are as follows:
The prominent existing developments in the MSRDC SPA are leveraged and used as
anchors for accommodating the expansion of activities.
The agglomeration economies of similar or complementary industries are considered.
The connectivity prospects of the MSRDC SPA area shall be augmented and
complimentary uses are proposed within the same cluster, which has high potential for
establishing regional access points.
The project area has very less organized recreational areas, which needs to be further
improved through the proposed land use plan.
Existing residential areas of the SPA area are boosted by provision of required social and
physical infrastructure and new residential areas are proposed in proximity to the same to
cater to the projected population.
Forest and water bodies are preserved. The ecologically sensitive areas conservation is
addressed without diminishing the green growth prospects of the areas.
Further, the total land available have been categorized into three sections namely, already
developed areas, areas open for new development and non-developable areas.
Already Developed Areas: These include the growth that has already taken place in the areas
where substantial land is put to use for residential, commercial, industrial activities, and for
public semi- public utilities. In order to integrate existing built-up areas, a broad approach to
retain all the existing developments ensuring minimum or no disturbance, is adopted. The land
use zones proposed are well compatible with the existing or already permitted activities within
the existing land uses.
Areas open for new development: This includes mainly open vacant lands and to some
extent Agricultural lands.
Non-Developable areas: This includes the environmentally significant areas such as forests,
0
water bodies, hills with slope of 22.5 (This is in concurrence with the MMR DCR 2036) and eco
sensitive zones. Areas coming under these zones are conserved in their natural form. The
orientation of the planning exercise as discussed in the previous chapter is to incorporate
environment sustainability.
The stakeholder consultations were conducted with various organizations, private bodies,
government and parastatal bodies and with residents of villages in MSRDC SPA area for
information dissemination regarding the Development Plan for MSRDC SPA area. This was
also a platform to understand the stakeholder demands and gather their opinions and
suggestions for incorporation into the development plan wherever. The key result of the
stakeholder consultations may be summarised as; the development plan should be able to
leverage the strategic location of MSRDC SPA area between Mumbai and Pune along the
MPEW and focus may be given to service sector with emphasis on logistics, commerce and
tourism without hampering the industrial development potential of the planning area.
About 949.31 Ha of land is under existing residential use. This takes care of the Residential
Zones proposed in earlier sanctioned regional plans including those of growth centres and for
which the development permissions were sanctioned. During the analysis, it was found that the
Residential zones, which were proposed in the earlier sanctioned Regional plans / Growth
Centres, are not utilized to the full extent. Keeping in view of the additional population of
approximately 10 Lakhs, it is imperative to take cognizance of unutilized residential zone shown
in sanctioned RPs and further open up the vacant lands / barren lands to accommodate the
additional population. Further, in order to encourage inclusive housing for EWS, provisions
have been made in this development plan. Thus, an additional area of 2981.13 Ha of land is
proposed under residential zone, thus making the total residential land use zone to the extent
of 3930.44 Ha. This proposed residential zone is approximately 41.05% of the developable
area. This also includes reversal of zoning from residential to green zone in high contour non-
developable areas, which were otherwise shown as developable area (Residential) in earlier
sanctioned RP. Further, the plan took cognizance of the sanctioned development permissions
wherein the industrial zone is converted into residential zone under I to R policy.
Residential Density
Keeping in view the projected population of 11.48 lakhs and the area proposed for residential
zone of 3930.44 Ha, the residential density works out to be 342 persons per hectare (pph). This
is slightly higher than gross neighborhood density of 250 pph as per the guidelines of the TP
circular/development plan/TPV-1/3891, dated 5-6-1985 owing to the following reasons:
Because of the topography and site conditions, the area best suitable for development is
only 51.28% (106 sq.km.) of the total extent. Out of this 51.28%, the total residential land
area forms about 41.05%. Thus, the total land available for residential use is limited to
accommodate the induced population growth forecasted for 2041.
In order to translate the objective of optimization of resources as identified under the vision,
a slightly higher average density is proposed. This is also supported by the case studies of
the recent planning exercises at national and global levels that are opting for compact
development with higher residential densities.
SPA area is located between two Metro Cities Mumbai and Pune.
The TOD corridor proposed shall have higher residential density based on the Maharashtra
Sustainable Urban Transport Policy, 2017. Thus, the non-TOD areas shall have an
average density, which shall be within 250 pph only.
Adhering to the overall vision and approach, flexibility is attributed to the development plan by
allowing compatible regular retail and commercial activities within the residential zones. The
commercial zone demarcated in the plan shall allow over and above these, the exclusive
developments of large retail and specialized commercial uses, wholesale establishments etc.
The existing commercial zone is 201 hectares. An area of 594.05 Ha of land is demarcated
under commercial zone of the proposed land use. This forms 6.20% of the total developable
area. This is in line with the URDPFI guidelines, which prescribes 5%-6% of total developable
area for commercial zone in case of metropolitan & mega cities.
Spatially, two approaches have been adopted to distribute the proposed commercial zone
across the SPA area. One approach is to strengthen the available land parcels along the
already existing growth nodes and key corridor (NH 4) where there are substantial commercial
and other real estate developments. The other approach is to introduce commercial activity on
the land parcels where it is non-existent or not dominant, based on the factors including but not
limited to existing and proposed connectivity, proposed overall structure of the city, degree of
favourability offered from proposed and existing social and economic conditions etc. Thus, the
predominant commercial zones demarcated are along NH 4 and 60 m Spine road with metro
rail and TOD corridor. Further to this, other strategic locations along MPEW in southern portion,
have also been identified which has strong commercial development potential within MSRDC
SPA area which shall support the surrounding developments. These also include MSRDC
owned land parcels, with excellent connectivity prospects and commercial potential.
As per the vision formulated for MSRDC SPA area, one of the key goals of the DP- 2041 is to
make the city magnetic through creating attractiveness and competiveness. It can be seen that,
specific branding exercises and conscious effort through planning tools focusing economy-
generating sectors are carried out in the recent urban development plans around the world to
achieve competitiveness and attractiveness. This approach is followed here in MSRDC SPA
also. The focus is proposed to be on the following two components:
1. Have a strong central core for the city with high attractiveness for young wealth creators
and talent pool through:
a) Promoting financial and techno centers and startups as in Maharashtra Fin Tech Policy
2018
b) Strengthened service sector and employment opportunities.
c) 24/7 active zone combining business, leisure and residential components
d) Excellent visibility and accessibility
2. Create unique identity through,
a) Physical form
b) Iconic buildings
c) Quality of spaces offered to its citizens.
Keeping in view of the above, the CBD zone admeasuring 130.45 Ha of area is proposed
abutting the MPEW, which shall provide excellent visibility to the zone, which may be used for
branding of the MSRDC SPA. The 60 m arterial spine with metro rail along with BRTS passing
through the zone provides excellent accessibility. Therefore, this zone is envisaged to function
as the central business district of the city.
In order to attract younger wealth creators, apart from the commercial uses permitted, the zone
shall host smart Fintech centers as per Maharashtra Fin Tech Policy 2018, which promotes
startups, incubators, accelerators along with financial services. Animation, visual effects,
gaming and comics (AVGC) Parks, IT Parks, IT SEZs, financial services shall also be
permissible for the same reason.
With a maximum FSI of 4.00 and corresponding ground coverage of 35%, the zone is deemed
to have iconic high-rise buildings. Specific urban design controls (UDC) are made mandatory to
achieve a unique physical built form for the zone. (The details are as given in the UDC
annexure of DCPR.) The zone is proposed to be developed as a predominantly commercial
zone with minimum residential component in proportion of 70:30 in order to have a 24/7 vibrant
space with social surveillance. Accordingly, necessary provisions have been incorporated in
the DCPR.
11.3.4 INDUSTRIAL
An area of 1875.13 Ha is demarcated as industrial zone, which comprises 19.58% of the total
developable area of MSRDC SPA, making it the second largest zone.
The approach adopted for spatial allocation of this use is two-fold, one of which is to propose a
new industrial belt in the northern portion of MSRDC SPA area in between Apte-Panvel rail line
and MPEW. This will harness the connectivity to ports, proximity to MMC proposed by MMRDA,
existing logistics and warehousing activities flourishing along SH 104 and also compliments the
proposed logistic park zone and proposed freight corridor loop.
The second approach is to retain and strengthen the existing industrial cluster that has come
up on ground in Pen-Panvel-Khalapur growth center demarcated in Raigad RP, of which the
proposed predominantly industrial belt is along the Patalganga River and Thanenhave-Honad,
Tambati-Wadval areas.
As per the sanctioned Raigad regional plan, an area admeasuring about 1900 Ha was
designated as Industrial zone. However, over a period of 25 years this Industrial zone has not
flourished as that was envisaged in 1991. Moreover, some parts of this land are high contoured
lands and forest lands, which are not developable.
Therefore while proposing the industrial land use such area which were shown in industrial
zone in Raigad RP are reduced and re-designated as residential use / green zone, which
further led to reversal of zoning to some extent. Alternately, as mentioned above additional
industrial use is proposed in the northern portion of MSRDC SPA area in between Apte-Panvel
rail line and MPEW.
Further, in order to bring in flexibility in development plan and to generate revenue by way of
payment of premium, residential /commercial uses are permitted within industrial zone by
means of I to R Policy as detailed in section 25.4.2, Part II of DCPR. This shall allow the
MSRDC SPA to be more accommodative of market led future demands.
This zone covers 184.07 Ha of land forming about 1.92% of the total developable area.
Recognizing the potential of SPA area in accommodating logistics & allied activities and
incorporating the stakeholder consultations, the logistic park zone is proposed to facilitate the
growth as envisaged by Maharashtra Logistic Parks Policy 2018 with respect to logistic hubs.
Some of the key factors that shall help the development of logistics related activities within SPA
area are port connectivity strengthened through freight corridor loop, excellent regional
connectivity, large contiguous land availability, existing warehousing facilities, high skilled labor
availability and the locational advantages of being situated in proximity to Pune, Mumbai and
Navi Mumbai. The key benefits of these parks are that they are cost saving through economies
of scale.
The potentials of the planning area for hosting a logistic park zone are briefly described here.
Proximity of JNPT port and DMIC corridor development projects: Proximity to JNPT port
well established through the rail lines and road as well as regional connectivity through the
MPEW and MMC offers good potential. Two corridor development projects of India- the
DMIC (Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor) and BMEC (Bangalore Mumbai Economic
Corridor) has an influence area including the SPA region. Both have JNPT as a major
Node. The port connectivity is a prime requisite for setting up a multimodal logistic facility.
As a part of BMEC’s perspective plan, it is envisaged that by 2041, there is a requirement
of multi modal logistic parks, spread across the region to meet the logistic needs of the
industries in the region. These geographical proximity advantages to the economic node
may be leveraged in setting up the logistic hubs.
During discussion with JNPT officials it was requested that suitable logistics zone be
provided in the MSRDC SPA area in order to cater to the needs of the emerging Rewas
and Mandwi Ports as the hinterland around these Ports are not suitable for developing
logistics activities. In addition, JNPT is reaching saturation and the proposed Logistics Hub
in the MSRDC SPA area will only complement the future demand and requirement of the
JNPT Port.
Availability of large contiguous land parcels: Across the nation, the main constraint of
establishing a logistic park is the availability of large contiguous land parcels, which has a
clear value proposition in terms of logistic saving, ease of connectivity and a high potential
catchment area. The planning area can offer large contiguous parcels of more than 100
acres (40.5 ha) which are sufficient to accommodate multi modal logistic hub and thus can
offer flexible options for the customer in terms of financing and space planning.
Existing logistic activities: As Raigarh district is one among the locations, which account for
about 50% of the road freight movement, is an ideal location for Investments in Multi modal
Logistics Parks in India in the first phase. Draft Policy Document on Development of
Multimodal Logistics Parks by Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) has
identified Raigarh district as one of the locations prioritized for development of Multimodal
Logistics Parks in Phase 1. The logistic park zone is spatially located predominantly at
Narpoli, Savale, Devloli Budruk and Barwai along the established dedicated port
connectivity through freight loop between the two rail lines. The logistic park zone shall
boost the existing warehousing activities as well as establishment of advanced/ next
generation industrial clusters in proximity to these.
In order to award flexibility to the development plan, warehousing and industrial activities are
also permitted apart from the logistic services in this zone. In addition to this all users, which
are permissible in the Industrial zone are also permitted in this zone.
This zone covers about 529.82 Ha of area and form 5.53% of the total developable area of
MSRDC SPA. This includes Govt/ Semi Govt/ public offices, public and semi-public uses and
facilities including education, medical, socio cultural, religious etc. Along with the existing
facilities, new areas are also marked which largely falls on either side of the MPEW.
private sector and civil society is required. Hence, these large chunks of areas demarcated in
the plan are placed along the public transit network, easily accessible from metro rail/ BRTS.
The positioning of these along the MPEW shall offer high visibility to the area where the global
academic institutions might come up. As these are situated near to the under or over passes of
MPEW, easy movement of intra institutional traffic is also facilitated.
In this zone, commercial uses upto 15% of basic permissible FSI shall be allowed on private
lands and upto 33% shall be allowed on lands owned by Government / Semi-Government
organizations. Certain incentivization through reduction in premium for granting additional FSI
is also proposed in the DCPR for such organizations.
This zone may be utilized to tap the market of leisure and hospitality. This zone is an outcome
of various stakeholder consultations, which suggested that, since the planning area is located
strategically with tourism potential, the feasible developments could have multiple themes thus
creating it a hub or destination. Some of the suggested developments were film city
entertainment theme park, amusement parks, adventure activity hub, IT hub, education hub,
financial hub, etc. Thus, TBZ is demarcated for destination creation within SPA. This Zone is
expected to retain and attract local talent pool with unique urban experience. The retaining of
the talent pool in turn will be an asset and key magnet in attracting more investments into the
city. This zone covers approximately 143.61 Ha of land forming about 1.50% of the total
developable area. The development plan opens up this area for investors from around the
world to implement multiple market led and innovative concepts, such as entertainment,
education, health, sports, IT or any other theme.
Strong regional connectivity is vital to bring in more footfalls to the SPA Area. Hence, the zone
is strategically proposed in proximity to NH 4, and Chowk railway station along with the
proposed BRTS. This area can also utilise the scenic backdrop of Matheran hills and Morbe
dam. The adjacent proposed residential and commercial shall supplement the TBZ. Thus, TBZ
is proposed to promote MSRDC SPA as a magnet City.
The green belt/ recreational zone forms 5.24% of the total developable area and comprises
approximately 501.58 Ha of land. The areas between the river and the blue flood line of
Patalganga river and 15 m from the banks of Dhavri river, a major tributary of Patalganga river
in MSRDC SPA have been zoned as recreational/ green belt in order to conserve the river
banks.
An area of approximately 1646.79 Ha of land is demarcated under transportation zone and this
forms 17.20% of the total developable area of MSRDC SPA. This zone includes the land
demarcated under classified roads, all DP roads up to a width of 18m and rail right of ways,
Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTSs), bus depots, truck terminals etc. Specific transportation
proposals are described in detail within Chapter 12: Framing of Infrastructure proposals.
This zone covers about 2423.82 Ha of area and forms 12.98% of the total area of MSRDC
SPA. Acknowledging the need for development that this zone may possibly have, due to
opening up of SPA for urbanization by the development plan, the growth potential of these
zones are not restricted only to the agricultural and allied uses. Multiple other uses such as
research and development institutions, entertainment activities such as amusement parks, film
production and allied, educational and medical institutions, integrated amenities, industries, etc
are proposed to be permitted in this zone, with a very minimal floor space index, subject to
conditions as detailed in DCPR.
In addition to above activities, special activities like town planning scheme with minimum 20-
Hectare area is proposed to be permitted. In addition, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY)
with 1.0 FSI is proposed to be permitted in this zone. Further, a special enabling provision is
made in DCPR to allow any Public uses permissible on land owned by Government / Semi-
Government organizations. This will render flexibility to the overall development plan, as this
zone shall accommodate the uses as per the market demand.
Areas under Forest Zone are lands under ownership of the Forest Department and are subject
to applicable rules and regulations of the Forest Department. The forest zone is not included
under the developable area of MSRDC SPA.
Four villages within MSRDC SPA namely, i)Adoshi, ii)Chavani, iii)Nadhal and iv)Talavali are
th
included in the eco sensitive areas as per the Draft Notification of MoEF & CC, 27 February
rd
2017 and also 3 October, 2018 on ecologically sensitive areas of Western Ghats. These four
villages are classified as eco sensitive zones and the development prospects are to be
adhering to the MoEF& CC‘s timely notifications and amendments. This occupies 1422.47 Ha
of land and form about 7.62% of the total MSRDC SPA area.
The total area falling within this corridor is about 1429.01 Ha, which forms about 7.65% of the
total MSRDC SPA area. This accommodates residences, jobs, places of commerce and
recreation and other uses within walking distances from the MRTS.
Specific provisions are incorporated within the TOD corridor to facilitate mixed use, compact
and sustainable development with accessibility of high quality public transportation for all. The
TOD corridor is envisaged to accommodate about 600 pph (residential density) to offer
advantages of this corridor for maximum population. This is also in line with the draft State
Urban Transport Policy 2017 of Maharashtra, which stipulates double the density than the
average non-TOD area density.
A maximum permissible FSI of 4.00 on payment of premium, which shall generate revenue,
subject to conditions as, stipulated in DCPR. This is allowed within this corridor to support
compact development accommodating more people.

T he Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) gives the zoning as well as
building regulations for all developments falling in the area under MSRDC SPA jurisdiction.
These regulations are given in a separate document supported by the Draft Development Plan
document. This chapter, however, introduces and provides justifications for some of the
regulations given in the DCPR.
12.1.1 APPROACH
For formulation of DCPR for the anticipated development in MSRDC SPA area, several DCPR
Regulations were considered such as: DCPR of Nagpur Metropolitan Area Development Plan
2012-32, NAINA Development Plan, 2017, Raigad Regional Plan, 1992, Draft Standardised
Development Control and Promotion Regulations for D class Municipal Corporations in
Maharashtra, Standardised Development Control and Promotion Regulations for Regional
Plans in Maharashtra, and URDPFI.
Among these the DCPR of Nagpur Metropolitan Area (NMA) Development Plan 2012-32 has
been taken as a base to which certain changes are made wherever it was relevant and
modified to be project specific in manner appropriate to MSRDC SPA context. The reason for
taking NMA DCPR was due to several similarities between NMA and MSRDC SPA area. NMA
DP is also one of the most recent approved development plans in the State of Maharashtra.
The similarities of NMA with respect to the MSRDC SPA area are given below:
NMA is well connected to its region and therefore connected to several other major cities
by roads, railways and air, similar to that of SPA, which has an additional advantage of
proximity to seaports.
Being located in a strategically advantageous location, NMA also experiences high volume
of freight traffic and is supported by development in the logistic industry similar to that of
SPA.
There are several industries and existing developments and is currently witnessing a
substantial growth in the real estate sector.
Significant portion of land in the NMA are under protected and reserved forests (including
portion of Pench National Park and Bor Wildlife Sanctuary) similar to MSRDC SPA, which
has portion of Matheran Eco-Sensitive zone, as well as several forests of Western Ghats.
There are several rivers, reservoirs and water bodies in NMA similar to MSDRC SPA,
which is crisscrossed by river and streams and dotted with water bodies.
In addition to these changes, a separate Chapter on Urban Design Guidelines and Hoarding
Policy are also added as an annexure to the DCPR document.
The salient features evolved for the DCPR of MSRDC SPA are given below:
1 For PMAY FSI permissible is 2.5 in developable zone without any premium
2 Development of reserved sited through concept of Accommodation Reservation
3 Provision of sharing of premium (50% by Govt. and 50% by Authority) is deleted.
4 The housing stock created through Inclusive housing shall be at the disposal of MSRDC
SPA instead of MHADA
5 Applicability of TDR shall be also for widening of MPEW, widening of NH and land required
for interchanges
6 For speedy development of 60 M spine and service roads, the incentivization of TDR is
proposed as mentioned below:
a) 1st Year 40%
b) 2nd Year 30%
c) 3rd Year 20%
d) 4th and 5th Year 10%
7 Certain compatible users are permitted with the permission of VC&MD (without referring
the matter to DTP or UDD)
8 Provision regarding Structural stability is incorporated.
9 In order to generate revenue in SPA area, the Hoarding Policy is incorporated.
10 Percentage of Premium rates to be levied on grant of additional FSI for different land uses
proposed for MSRDC SPA area are as mentioned below:
Since MSRDC SPA is predominately a Greenfield development, this opportunity can be used to
design the city along the global urban design standards and evolve it into a world-class city.
Urban design controls for the MSRDC SPA area have been formulated to arrive at harmonious,
coherent and rhythmic built form responding to the land uses that are envisioned for CBD
Zone. These controls shall apply to all development, redevelopment, erection and/or re-
erection of a building, change of user etc. as well as to the design, construction or
reconstruction of, and additions and alteration to a building only within CBD zone.
The Urban Design Controls in this Draft Development Plan mainly emphasizes on the built form
with respect to design of Arcades. The details of the controls to be followed are annexed to
DCPRs prepared for this DP.

Thus, it is inferred that certain social facilities can also be developed through the TP
Scheme.
iv) In the DCPR, provision is made to provide 10% amenity space for area admeasuring 1.00
Hectare or more. Therefore, it is expected that certain percentage of Social facilities
required can be met through this provision and therefore suitable call has to be taken in
allocating social facilities.
v) As per the Integrated Township Project (ITP) policy, it is mandatory to provide certain
social facilities while developing the township projects. Hence, it is expected that certain
percentage of social facilities required can also be met through this policy.
vi) Further, it is to be mentioned that certain social facilities will also be developed through
private players.
In view of above, i to vi factors and based on the extent of (social facilities) reservations to be
provided in DP, following categories of reservations and rationale are adopted for designation
of the reservations in the draft Development Plan:
5. Also there are 19 reservations have been indicated on Development Plan as suggested by
the board of directors of MSRDC SPA in their board meeting held on 2.11.18. The list of
these reservations is given in table 13-2.
Based on above rationale, a total of 163 social facility reservations are shown on the draft
Development Plan and the list of such reservations with their approximate area is given in
Table 13-2 below.

14 HOUSING
D raft Maharashtra State Housing Policy 2015 identifies creation of land bank for affordable
housing as one of the key strategies to improve housing stock in the state. Affordable
housing refers to housing units that are affordable by that section of society whose income is
below the median household income. Thus, affordable housing should address the housing
needs of the households belonging to economically weaker sections and lower income group.
Disposable income of the people remains the primary factor in determining the affordability. As
a result, it becomes the increased responsibility of the government to cater to the rising
demand for affordable housing. Therefore, the issue of providing affordable housing has been
addressed while preparing the Development Plan for MSRDC SPA area.
As the underlying aim of the Development Plan for MSRDC SPA area is to develop a self-
sustained city providing employment opportunities, the area will be expecting an inflow of
population due to various economic opportunities. This will in turn result in increase in demand
for housing units. It becomes important to take into consideration this demand, especially from
economically weaker sections of the society and provide suitable housing options for them.
Thus, provision of affordable housing becomes an important part in development plan proposal.
For better understanding, the demand of housing in project area, the existing housing condition
and the need of housing for projected population has been analyzed. Based on the analysis,
the numbers of houses required for horizon year 2031 have been computed. The total housing
demand for year 2031 is for 95,631 houses. The details of calculation are given in Table 14-1.
HH Size 4.44
Out of the total housing demand for the year 2031, about 25% is assumed to be provided
through affordable housing units i.e. 23908 units and market forces are assumed to cater the
remaining 75% demand. This 25% demand for affordable housing is proposed to meet with as
per following provision:
Units to be provided under inclusive housing through DCPR provision - 20% = 4782
Units to be provided through TP scheme (Section 64) - 10% = 2391
Hence, the total remaining number of units to be provided through affordable housing is 16735
units. These units will cater to the affordable housing need of EWS and LIG category. Out of
the total required units to be provided under affordable housing, 50% will be provided for EWS
category and 50% will be provided for LIG category. As per PMAY norms, an EWS unit should
have carpet area upto 30 sq.m and LIG unit should have carpet area upto 60 sq.m. Based on
this, area requirement for affordable housing units is computed. The Distribution of Housing
Units is shown in Table 14-2.

Total 100 16735 753095.14
(30.12 Ha)
The requirements of these 16735 units have been fulfilled by showing affordable housing
reservations on Development Plan. The plot area required for construction of these units is
shown as Public Housing reservations on Development Plan. As far as possible, these
reservations are proposed on government or MSRDC land parcels to ensure speedy
development of Affordable Housing projects. In addition, proximity to existing settlement,
transport connectivity and basic amenities have been considered while demarcating the sites
for public housing. The rationale for these reservations is as follows:
1/3rd area will be provided by showing reservation on government land (in Ha) – 10.04
1/3rd area will be provided by showing reservation on MSRDC land (in Ha) – 10.04
1/3rd area will be developed through AR policy (in Ha) – 10.04
F rom the existing situation analysis, it has been observed that there is a small gap between
demand and supply for the existing population. Therefore, the future water demand will
have to take into account only the water demand of the incumbent population. However, for
working out the total water demand for the horizon year 2031 and 2041 the existing population
has been merged.
Based upon the existing and proposed residential, commercial (employment), horticulture and
firefighting demand, the gross water demand for the SPA Area is estimated as follows.
For estimating gross water demands, 28% losses in distribution and transmission system has
been considered as per the prevailing practices adopted in CIDCO and NAINA area.

From the above table it is clear that the water demand for the proposed area without the usage
of recycled water is 388 MLD for the year 2041 and 262 MLD respectively with usage of
recycled water. It is recommended that the water demand computed considering reuse of
recycled water i.e. 262 MLD for the year 2041 to be adopted. Therefore, for meeting this
demand suitable provision for the supply of the requirement for 2031 and 2041 will have to be
made.
Water demand for the Year 2041 is also calculated planning unit wise based on the different
land use category and worked out as follows:
Table 15-3: Planning unit wise estimation of water demand and storage requirement- horizon year 2041
Storage
Zone Area Water Demand
Sr.No Zone Population Requirement
(In Hectare) (In MLD)
(In MLD)
From Table 15-3 the water demand works out to be 298.12 MLD for the horizon year 2041.
Hence, the Total Water Demand for the year 2041 is to be taken as 298.12 MLD and the
storage requirement for meeting this estimated demand is 149.06 MLD.
For meeting the water requirement for the horizon year 2041, a proper source is to be
identified. For the purpose of this the capacity and also the supply position of various reservoirs
around the project site are studied. The details of the potential sources and their capacity are
as follows:

From the above table, it is observed that in order to meet the daily demand of 298.12 MLD,
availability from Balganga, Morbe and Kondhane may have to be considered. Suitable
arrangements will have to be entered into with the Authorities controlling the reservoirs in order
to secure the supply on a long-term basis. Patalganga as a source may also be examined.
However due to pollution and limited capacity the same cannot be considered as a major
source.
The Sewage Generation upto the year 2041 have been computed by assuming 80% of water
demand. The planning unit wise sewage generation is shown in the table 15-5 below.

From the existing situation analysis, it is seen that there is no proper sewerage network in the
entire SPA Area. Therefore, to meet the daily requirement of 286.20MLD by the year 2041 a
suitable sewerage and drainage network will have to be planned, which shall include sewerage
network including STPs and network for storm water drainage.
Municipal Solid Waste: The population projections made in this report and as per, per capita
waste generation rate (of 600 gm per capita for resident population as per CPHEEO manual on
SWM) are used for estimating future waste generation. The rate of waste generation
throughout the horizon year of 2021-2041 is considered uniform i.e. 600 gm per capita per day.
As per the Projections, the total population in the year 2041 will be 11.48 lakhs hence the
quantity of waste generation will be around 689 tons per day.
This waste is usually part of MSW, however given the nature and quantity of such waste it is
estimated as a separate head. There are no fixed standards for estimating C & D waste; the
Handbook on Technologies for Solid Waste Management, GoM, 2016 suggests that 10-20% of
MSW is usually C & D waste.
Area requirement for the composting and land fill sites is assessed for the horizon year 2041.
At 689 tons per day total waste, the (40%) waste for composting works out to 276 tons per day
and that for the land filling is 606 tons (including 20% compost rejects and C&D wastes) by the
design years. The design capacities have therefore been considered as 276 tpd for composting
and 606 tons per day for land-filling. These area calculations form the basis for identifying the
new disposal site or assessing the adequacy of the proposed composting site. Summary of
land required for disposal site is given in following Table 15-7 below.

Table 15-10: Summary of land required for disposal site –Year 2041
As per the Table 15-10, 27 hectares of land is required for establishing landfill sites for 2041.
These landfill sites are also complemented by composting facilities as indicated in the table 15-
10. It is recommended that separation of wet and dry waste be actively encouraged among the
incumbent population as well as the existing population. Total land fill area should be
approximately 15% more than the area required for landfilling to accommodate all infrastructure
and support facilities as well as to allow the formation of green belt around the land fill.
Therefore, the total land requirement for solid waste management is 31 Ha for 2041. This
comprises of 2 Ha. of land for composting and 3 Ha area for all infrastructure and support
facilities for the landfill area.
15.1.4 POWER
Power Demand:
Provision of power demand for horizon year 2031 and 2041 shall be adequately met with by
both public and private players. The power demand for horizon year 2031 and 2041 is as
calculated in table 15-11 and 15-12. The following standards have been adopted for the
estimation of power requirement for the planning area.
Domestic demand
1.5 KW per household for EWS/LIG
3.0 KW per household for MIG
4.0 KW per household for HIG
1 KW per Shop
10 KW per Service Industrial Unit

effectively met with the power supply companies like MSETCL.
Power Requirement for the year 2041 is calculated based on standards given by MSEB. The
calculation for the proposed load based on different land uses in the SPA area are as given in
the Table 15-13 below.

From the table 15.13, the total power requirement is 821.60 MW. Hence, from the estimation
above, the demand for year 2041 is worked out to be 800 MW.
Power Distribution
The power will be distributed from a Receiving Station (RS) through a network of substations.
Standards considered for distribution of Receiving Station (RS) and Electric Sub Stations (ESS)
is as following:
From the Table 15-14, the total area required for MRS, RS and DTC is 25.6 Ha. Two numbers
of main receiving stations are to be proposed, 11 nos of receiving station and 46 numbers of
DTC is to be proposed for meeting the power demand for the year 2041.
15.2.1 INTRODUCTION
Integration of transportation with land use is an important aspect for successful implementation
of the Development Plan. The land use zoning and the transport infrastructure should
complement each other for sustainable development. As regards to transportation
infrastructure while framing the proposals the existing network, the deficiencies in it from
accessibility point of view and its inter-connection with the regional network is analysed and the
following proposals have been broadly identified ensuring regional as well as local connectivity.
MMRDA while preparing the Regional Plan for MMR Region (2016-31) has proposed a Multi-
Modal Corridor (MMC) connecting Virar and Alibaug with 130 m ROW. This high-speed corridor
is envisaged to include different modes of transport to ply on it and is poised to connect NH8
(Mumbai-Ahmedabad), NH-3 (Mumbai-Agra-Delhi), NH-4 (Mumbai-Chennai) and NH-17 (Goa-
Mangalore-Kerala) and also Mumbai Pune Express Way (MPEW).
The proposed alignment touches the Northern tip of MSRDC SPA giving impetus to the SPA
area if integration with it is ensured. The transportation proposals framed in this DP ensured
such integration through a proper interchange opening up the MSRDC SPA area for
development.
Panvel – Karjat Railway line: There is a single railway track connecting Panvel and Karjat
passing through SPA area with a railway station at Chowk. It is understood that there are plans
to augment the capacity of this railway line by introducing another lane along this corridor. It is
also learnt that the steps for land acquisition for doubling of this railway line is already initiated.
Keeping in view of this and coupled with the Development Plan Zoning system (predominantly
residential) would give massive boost for development of this area. The proposal as formulated
by the Indian Railways (MRVCL) is retained envisaging that this would act as a trigger for
development of MSRDC SPA. This railway link if opened up for suburban services would
reduce the travel time from 5 hours (by road) to 2 hours (by train) from Karjat to Mumbai.
Konkan Railway: Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd is set to enhance line capacity to handle
more trains by doubling the track, which would positively impact the traffic of JNPT and its
hinterland. This would also impact MSRDC SPA area on the western side where the logistics
and industrial zones are proposed. By retaining this proposal into in this development plan
ensured MSRDC SPA to propose for two more railway lines connecting the Konkan railway and
the Panvel Karjat Line which could provide a seamless East-West connectivity and further act
as a regional link for the traffic originating from Konkan region and destining towards Pune. The
details of the same are discussed subsequently.
Freight connectivity through freight loop paving way for direct access from JNPT towards Pune:
With a view to promote economic development within the SPA area a freight loop connecting
Konkan Railway near Somatane on the West (to cater the needs of Logistics Park) and extend
the catchment of it beyond MSRDC SPA area on the West is proposed which traverses across
the Mumbai Pune Express way and joins the Panvel-Karjat Line. This freight corridor loop is
one of the proposals envisaged as dedicated freight corridor connecting Mumbai and Pune and
other regions in the South. The proposed freight loop and proposed sub-urban railway line is
shown in Figure 15-3.

Incorporating proposals of sanctioned / draft Regional Plan of MMR and Raigad which include
road and rail corridors: The MMRDA while preparing its draft Regional Plan 2016-36 have
proposed East-West rail link passing through MSRDC SPA area and the cognizance of this
alignment is taken while formulating the development proposals in the Development Plan.
The prevailing sanctioned Regional Plans within the MSRDC SPA are
Under the provisions of Section 20 of MR&TP Act 1966 the Urban Development Department
have sanctioned two layout plans (growth centres) namely Rees-Lodhivali Complex layout plan
and Rasayani Complex layout plan. The RP road alignments shown in those plans are taken
into cognizance wherever feasible and slight modifications to these alignments are proposed
where there is substantial built up area is existing. The Pen-Khalapur growth centre plan, which
is a part of Raigad Regional Plan, have proposed many regional linkages, which are yet to be
developed. These linkages based on the topography and feasibility are considered in this
development plan wherever possible.
A 60 m wide spine road connecting proposed Virar to Alibaug multi-modal corridor towards
north along with provision with metro on it: In order to have improved and faster connectivity
from Southern part of SPA area to the Northern part of SPA Area, a metro corridor is proposed
along the major spine of 60 M ROW which in turn passes through the proposed CBD zone.
This corridor which is a green field alignment is proposed to merge with NH4 near Khanavale
village and traverses along NH4 to connect further to the multi modal corridor towards North. It
is expected that the Virar- Alibaug Multi-modal corridor should also have the metro component
on it and therefore seamless regional connectivity is ensured. Further, it is expected that IDP I
of NAINA shall grow at a faster pace and in no time the requirement of Metro in that area is
inevitable. Though presently not shown in the IDP I, it would be desirable to connect Vashi-
Belapur-NMIA line proposed by CIDCO to the Metro corridor proposed by MSRDC SPA
through IDP I. This shall ensure continuous connectivity from Karjat in the South to Vasai Virar
in the Northern portion reducing substantial travel time and this would act as a major Regional
link. The details of the Metro corridor proposed along with TOD Belt or corridor is shown in
Figure 15-4.
15.2.7 BRTS
Good Mass Transport System is the success factor for a sustainable City. However, initial
capital expenditure on the same and the Gestation period for the returns is normally high.
Therefore, having a High capacity Bus Rapid Transit (HCBRT) System is a relatively low-cost,
flexible solution for a mass transportation system that typically has an initial investment cost of
only some 2% that of a Metro system. It can serve a much larger area than a rail-based
system. Keeping in view of this and the projected population of 5.25 lakhs (2031). A total of 46
km of BRT system is proposed along North-South and East-West of the entire SPA area. This
BRTS system is generally proposed on state highways which initially may cater as a non BRT
corridor (expected to be widened upto 45m) and as the travel demand grows the same can be
converted as a BRT corridor. This BRT corridor takes off in the North from the Vasai Virar Multi
Modal Corridor, traverses along the Industrial and Logistics zones on the Western side of the
MSRDC SPA and crosses Mumbai Pune Expressway near Rees and eventually runs along the
NH4 and destines at Chowk Railway Station. Another line of the BRTS corridor starts from the
Chowk Railway Station traverses along the CBD area at Asroti / Tembhari, crosses Mumbai
Pune Expressway and connects to Rasayani Industrial Complex. Above two BRTS lines
majorly serve as East-West connecting corridors. The North-South connecting corridor takes off
near Vashivali and traverses towards the South crossing MPEW at four locations and finally
terminates near Savroli.

Service road on either side of Mumbai Pune Expressway: The Mumbai Pune Expressway is an
access controlled road and has created lot of potential for development owing to proximity to
two major metro cities. However, this potential could not be tapped because of the areas not
having access to the corridor. In order to exploit the potential of the Expressway that it
generates towards economic development, 30 m wide service road on either side of the
Expressway starting from Ariwali and terminating near Dheku is proposed in the Development
Plan. The Arterial roads (18 m to 30m) which are proposed in grid iron form generally meets
these service roads along the Expressway from both sides. These service roads will eventually
meet the Expressway at appropriate locations providing connectivity to Expressway.
Widening of National Highways (upto 60 m wide) and state highways (upto 45m wide): As
many as 7 state highways with varying widths pass through MSRDC SPA area either
longitudinally or transversely crossing MPEW with minor grade separators. All the state
highways are proposed to be widened for 45 m ROW and the only National Highway (NH48) is
proposed for widening upto 60 m in the draft Development Plan.
Encouraging Non-Motorised Transport through cycle tracks and paved pathways: The MSRDC
SPA area development plan encourages the use of Non-motorized transport. Leveraging the
advantage of the green belt shown between the riverine and the blue line along the Patalganga
river and within the 9m buffer of the tributaries of the Patalganga river, cycle track network is
proposed to encourage Non-motorized transport.
The MPEW is an access-controlled facility. As of now, there are nine locations within the
MSRDC SPA area where grade separators either in the form of underpasses or over-bridges
are existing. These Grade separators are to be widened to 45 m to accommodate the proposed
widening of state highways. Further in order to enhance East-West connectivity four more
grade separators are proposed along the Expressway.

As of now, there are two existing truck terminals on either side of the Expressway catering to
the traffic plying on it. Keeping in view of the Industrial zones proposed along the Western side
of the MSRDC SPA area, two more truck terminals are proposed. For passenger movement
five Bus Terminals are proposed. In addition to above, provision for Parking is also made as
per the local requirement.

T his Chapter deals with the block cost estimates for various components of the
Development Plan, the Phasing plan and also likely sources of revenue. The block
estimates include the block costs of development for Social Facilities and Reservations,
Transportation Infrastructure, Water supply Infrastructure, Sewerage Infrastructure, Storm
Water drains and Solid waste management.
Based on the table 16-1 the average cost of land is considered as Rs.500 per sq.m. and
accordingly the cost of acquisition for development of infrastructure comes to 4 times Rs.500 or
Rs.2000 per sq.m (as per LARR 2013). The Cost of acquisition for 1 hectare of land is
assumed as Rs.2.00 crores per hectare.
The land development costs are considered based on CIDCO SOR 2014-15 escalated by 7%
year on year for current rate. Similarly, the landscaping costs are also based on Garden DSR
for 2017-18 and PWD Parks and Garden rates for 2016-17 and CIDCO SOR.

16.11.1 PHASE-I
The well-connected areas of the SPA are the areas that will show growth at the outset of the
project and the same are to be identified as Phase-I development. Thus the areas falling to the
south of NH-4 and falling within Planning unit no-6 is found to be area with the highest potential
due to its excellent accessibility, the existing NH-4 and Chouk Railway Station. Similarly, the
areas around Narpoli and Somatane villages are high potential areas due to its proximity of
JNPT Port and existing logistics development. Therefore, these could also be included in
Phase-I development.
16.11.2 PHASE-II
The southern portion of the MSRDC SPA is identified as Phase-II area as it is likely to develop
at rate, which is similar to that of Planning Unit 6. This is due to the presence of large number
of industries in the area, proximity of the Khalapur toll and easy accessibility to the Mumbai
Pune Expressway. During the Phase-II of the development of MSRDC SPA, all the southern
area is proposed to be linked to the Northern areas by the service road and also establishment
of 60m wide road to the west of Mumbai Pune Expressway as proposed in the Development
Plan.
16.11.3 PHASE-III
The Phase-III land is located to the North east of the Project area. This area shall be
rejuvenated and be made available for development through the construction of proposed four
two Railway Stations, Barwai and Lodhivali. Though this area is located closer to Panvel,
development is expected to takeoff after substantial development in Phase-I and Phase-II
areas. This area is expected to attract Premium development due to its proximity to MMR. The
Infrastructure needs of this area are expected to be far less than other areas.
16.11.4 PHASE-IV
This area has been considered in Phase-IV due to its limited accessibility and low development
potential. In order to bring this part of the SPA Area into development potential the East-West
linkages will have to be established bridging over the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Also the
North South Connectivity will also have to be strengthened. Since initially the resources will
have to be diverted to Phase-I and Phase-II areas, resources will subsequently start flowing
into Phase-III area for creating these linkages. During the subsequent period any interim
development happening in this area will have to take support from existing linkages.
The Phasing of the project area will also determine the prioritization of implementing Town
Planning Scheme being recommended for land development, as it is not practical to develop
town planning scheme for the entire SPA Area at the outset itself and in one go.

Land Linked Premium: The prevailing base FSI for villages falling in MMR Area were
entitled to base FSI of 0.2 which could be enhanced to 0.5 on payment of premium while
on the other hand villages falling in Raigad Regional Plan were having a base FSI of 1.1. In
order to normalize a basic permissible FSI to 1.1 across all the villages included in MMR as
well as RRP areas it is proposed to levy a land linked premium @ 5% of ASR on the entire
land area while granting the development permissions. This will compensate for the
revenue that will be lost in MMR villages as well as be one of the sources for generating
revenue for Infrastructure development.
FSI Linked Premium: The DCPR proposes a basic permissible FSI with payment of Land
Linked Premium as 1.1. This FSI can be enhanced to the permissible Maximum Building
potential on plot as per DCPR. This Maximum Building potential on the plot could be
achieved with a combination of additional FSI on payment of Premium as also through TDR
loading. The premium for the Residential and Industrial land uses is proposed as 40 % of
the ASR and for Commercial land use the same is proposed as 50% of the ASR rate. This
will generate substantial revenue for MSRDC SPA.
Development charges: As per Section 124A of the MR&TP Act 1966 a Planning Authority
is empowered to levy, assess and recover the Development charges that arise due to
development of physical and social infrastructure. This development charge is levied on the
institution of use or change of use of any land or building, or development of any land or
building, for which permission is required under this Act at the rates specified. The
development funds generated through the above charges shall be utilised for off- site
infrastructure development.
Disposal of Social Facility plots in TP Scheme: Around 5% of the land coming for
development under TP scheme is available to the Planning Authority as Social Facility plot.
In order to encourage and catalyse development of social facilities and amenities, these
plots shall be disposed to the concerned institution/ organization on long term lease as per
the Land Disposal Policy 2018 of MSRDC.
Monetization of MSRDC owned land parcels: At around 12 different locations, MSRDC’s
land parcels admeasuring about 215 hectares are situated in MSRDC SPA area. In this
Draft Development Plan, almost all these land parcels have been shown for commercial
purpose. Therefore, by monetization of these land parcels, some revenue is expected to be
generated.
The total estimated revenue is 14028 crores. The summary of the Estimated Revenues is
shown in Table 16-10 below.

T he total cost of Development works out approximately to Rs. 12099 crores and includes the
Infrastructure Development costs for the horizon year of 2041 and Social Infrastructure
Development costs for the horizon year 2031. These development costs can only be met
through adopting the correct land development methods for implementation of the
Development Plan proposals. Some of the tools that could be adopted by the MSRDC SPA for
land development are outlined below along with their relevance to the proposed Development
Plan.
