Maharashtra clears 1,000-cr Kalyan Growth Centre

Adding to the industrial infrastructure, the state government in Maharashtra has cleared Rs 1,000-crore Kalyan Growth Centre (KGC) project where the project would be modeled on the lines of Mumbai‘s Bandra-Kurla Complex. Chief Minister said adding that KGC will be a holistic project, be driven for and by the sons of the soil. The objective of this project is to create a robust alternative to accommodate the aspirations of the generation-next in a development model.The project will also provide an alternative to Mumbai, which is already over congested, both in terms of three to ten folds. Stressing on transparency in the entire process, from land-pooling to project execution, the model provides for 50 per cent share of the developed plot for individuals, whose land has been taken for the project. The growth centre will have a well-developed transport system, smart city facilities and necessary infrastructure for housing, to attract investors, he claimed.
