Common questions

Reading construction news without the jargon

How often is the Arsa News Desk updated?
The page rebuilds every 30 minutes, and each rebuild re-reads every source, so headline lanes are never more than half an hour behind. A daily morning job turns the day's government notices into the longer explained updates in Arsa Updates. Each card shows how long ago that story broke, so you can see at a glance whether a lane is carrying today's news or has gone quiet.
Where does this construction and real estate news come from?
From direct RSS feeds published by government bodies such as PMRDA, from site-scoped queries against official portals including MahaRERA, IGR, MHADA and MIDC, and from property and construction trade press. Every card is labelled with its publisher and links straight to the original story.
What does the Official badge mean?
It marks a story whose link resolves to a government domain or whose publisher is a government body. A newspaper writing about a government order is not badged Official, so you can always tell the two apart.
Does the desk report stamp duty and ready reckoner changes?
Yes, whenever an official circular changes them. For current numbers use the Arsa calculators: the construction cost calculator for build estimates, and the stamp duty calculator for registration charges and the ready reckoner.
Which areas does the desk cover?
Maharashtra statewide, with dedicated lanes for Pune and for the Baramati and Purandar belt where Arsa builds. National policy from the Government of India gets its own lane because it flows down into local permissions.
How we work

Sourced from the people who publish the rules

  1. 1

    We watch the source, not the rumour

    Direct feeds from authorities such as PMRDA, plus site-scoped queries against MahaRERA, IGR, MHADA and MIDC. When a government body publishes something that moves approvals or costs, it lands here.

  2. 2

    Every story keeps its publisher

    Each card names the outlet and links straight out. A government link is badged Official; a newspaper writing about that same order is not, so the two are never confused.

  3. 3

    We only keep what is still current

    Anything older than 45 days drops off the desk, and every card carries its age. A quiet lane is shown as quiet rather than padded out with stale headlines.

Headlines and links belong to the publishers named on each card. We do not host or rewrite their reporting; our own explained updates live in Arsa Updates.

What it means for your plot

A new FSI notification, a revised ready reckoner or a road alignment can change what you can build and what it costs. We read the notices for a living — bring yours and we will tell you plainly where you stand.
