The Pimpri Chinchwad Smart City Limited will bring underdeveloped areas in PCMC limits under the ambit of area-based development.
This includes areas such as Ravet, Kiwale, Dighi and Moshi, among others.
Shravan Hardikar, who headed the special vehicle till Sunday, said, areas would be selected based on a four-point assessment.
“The first will see how much development the area has witnessed so far, how many people live there and if there are any ongoing projects. The second point would be to observe the availability of public spaces in an area for general use and entertainment of citizens,” he said.
Finally, how much revenue could be generated from that area in terms of property tax or others will be looked at.”
The former Pimpri Chinchwad municipal commissioner – who handed over the reins to Rajesh Patil on Monday – said the proposed budget of Rs507 crore for the financial year 2021-22 was approved by the board of directors in the meeting, with an expenditure of Rs504 crore.
