Pune: While the Development Control (DC) rules of Pune Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (PMRDA) were approved by the State government in this year, PMRDA Chief Kiran Gitte said that the draft Development Plan (DP) of PMRDA will be submitted to the government for approval in May 2019.

Gitte said they are in talks with Surbana Jurong, an agency of the Singapore government which is helping PMRDA in preparing the DP. “The concept plan of the DP will be ready by January,” added Gitte.

The master plan of DP being prepared for the next 50 years will include residential areas for projected population of 20 million, logistics park and container depots, water supply and solid waste management, connectivity to Purandar airport, giving boost to tourism and increasing employment generation through planning of new growth centres in Pune.
