The Pune District Collectorate recently posted a Public Works Department (PWD) notice that describes the department’s existing infrastructure and funding sources. It does not impose any new requirement on your building permission or Floor Space Index (FSI).
What the notice actually says
The notice, issued by the Pune District Collectorate’s Public Works Department, is a summary of the department’s current activities. It mentions the length of state and district roads, the number of bridges, and the total built‑up area of government office and residential buildings. No new rule, fee, or deadline is announced for private plot owners or builders. The document is meant to inform the public about PWD’s scope of work.
Key infrastructure figures from the notice
- State roads in Pune district: 1,825 km. - Major district roads: 5,023 km. - Total bridges (large and small): 533. - Government office buildings: 2,365 structures covering 12,28,146 sq ft. - Government residential buildings: 2,787 structures covering 9,72,124 sq ft. These numbers give a picture of the public assets that PWD maintains, but they do not alter private construction rules.
| Item | Quantity |
|---|---|
| State roads (km) | 1,825 |
| Major district roads (km) | 5,023 |
| Bridges (count) | 533 |
| Government office buildings | 2,365 |
| Office built‑up area (sq ft) | 12,28,146 |
| Government residential buildings | 2,787 |
| Residential built‑up area (sq ft) | 9,72,124 |
Funding sources mentioned
The notice lists several financing streams that support PWD projects: - State budget allocations. - Central road funds. - NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development). - Hybrid annuity model. - Asian Development Bank. - HUDCO (Housing and Urban Development Corporation) and others. Knowing these sources helps you understand how public works are funded, but they do not affect the fees you pay for a private building permit.
Does this affect your building permission or FSI?
No. The notice does not state any change to the Floor Space Index (FSI) calculation, the required clearances, or the documentation you must submit for a new bungalow or turnkey home. If a PWD road widening or bridge project is planned near your plot, you may need a separate NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the department, but that requirement would be communicated in a different, specific notice. For now, treat this as background information.
Practical steps for homeowners
1. Verify whether any PWD project is planned on or near your plot by checking the Pune Municipal Corporation or PWD website. 2. If you see a proposed road or bridge, contact the PWD office (listed on the official notice) to ask if an NOC is needed. 3. Keep a copy of this notice for reference and note the source – Pune District Collectorate, Public Works Department. 4. Stay updated by revisiting the official portal regularly; any future rule will be published as a separate notice. 5. If you are unsure, consult a qualified architect or a local authority before submitting your building plan.
Practical tips
- Keep the official PDF handy for future reference.
- Check the PWD online map for any planned works near your site.
- Maintain a record of all communications with PWD if a project impacts your plot.

Real questions, real answers.
Does the PWD notice change the FSI limits for my plot?
+
No. The notice only provides data on existing public infrastructure. It does not mention any amendment to Floor Space Index (FSI) calculations or limits. Verify any FSI changes with the local planning authority.
Do I need a new clearance from PWD before starting construction?
+
The notice does not require new clearances. You only need a PWD No Objection Certificate (NOC) if a specific road, bridge or utility work is planned on or near your property. Such a requirement would be announced in a separate notice.
Where can I find the original PDF of the notice?
+
The official PDF is hosted on the Pune District Collectorate website under the Public Works Department section. The notice link is provided in the source field of this article.
Who should I contact for clarification about PWD projects affecting my land?
+
You can contact the Pune Public Works Department office listed in the notice or visit the PWD’s official website. They can confirm whether any planned work overlaps your plot.
What happens if I ignore the notice?
+
Since the notice does not impose any new obligation, ignoring it will not cause a penalty. However, staying informed helps you avoid surprise NOC requests if a PWD project later affects your site.
