Gangapur, Nashik

Central Railway has initiated its largest-ever infrastructure upgrade program in Nashik to prepare for the Kumbh Mela 2027. The project involves redeveloping five key stations (Nashik Road, Deolali, Odha, Kherwadi, and Kasbe Sukene) with new foot overbridges, platform widening, covered sheds, and improved water supply systems.

NMC has mandated a 50:50 utilization of premium Floor Space Index (FSI) and Transferable Development Rights (TDR) to stimulate demand and expedite land acquisition processes. This policy aims to streamline development and potentially accelerate the pace of new construction projects.

The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) requires approximately Rs 700 crore for the development of colony roads and roads in newly emerging areas. A detailed blueprint is being prepared for submission to the state government. This initiative aims to address the deteriorating condition of many colony roads and improve connectivity in developing zones, ensuring better urban infrastructure for residents.
