The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has enforced stringent water conservation measures due to below-normal rainfall, which has left reservoirs at 58% capacity. To prevent water wastage, fines of up to ₹5,000 will be imposed for using drinking water for non-essential purposes like car washing, road cleaning, gardening, or construction.

The 119 km six-lane Outer Ring Road around Nagpur is progressing with Phase-1 targeting completion in 2027 and Phase-2 in 2029. This project, costing Rs 7,300 crore, aims to decongest Wardha Road and improve access to areas like Besa and Hingna. The ring road is a significant catalyst for plotted real estate development.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari reviewed progress on key highway corridors, including the Gwalior–Nagpur and Nagpur–Hyderabad routes, and the six-laning of the Nagpur–Amravati highway. These projects are expected to streamline freight and passenger movement, bolster intra-regional connectivity, and support industrial expansion.
