- All details are in the official PWD notice; check the source for the latest version.
The Maharashtra Public Works Department (PWD) periodically releases road development plans that show proposed changes to existing roads and new road alignments. If you own a plot or are building a home in Pune, Baramati, Daund, Indapur or Saswad, these publications can influence the shape of your property, required setbacks, and timing of construction. Below we break down what the latest notice means for you.
What the PWD Road Development Plan Publication Is
The Public Works Department (PWD) publishes a Road Development Plan whenever it proposes changes to the road network in a district. The publication contains maps, proposed road widths, new alignments, and any planned widening of existing streets. It is an official document that guides engineers, local bodies and the public on how the road layout will look after the project is completed. The plan is meant to be consulted before any new construction or land‑use change.
Who Is Affected by the New Road Development Plans
The notice primarily affects landowners, developers, and anyone who has a building permit or is planning a new structure in the listed areas. If your plot lies within the proposed road corridor, you may have to adjust your building footprint, provide additional setbacks, or surrender a portion of land. Municipal authorities, local planning offices and the PWD office use the plan to verify compliance, so keeping an eye on it protects you from unexpected surprises.
How the Publication Impacts Ongoing or Planned Home Projects
When a road alignment is altered, the legal boundary of your property can shift. This may mean that the carpet area (the usable floor space inside the walls) you originally designed must be reduced, or that you need to relocate utilities such as water or electricity lines. In some cases, an amendment to your existing building permission or a fresh No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the PWD may be required. Ignoring these changes can lead to penalties or even demolition orders later.
Practical Steps Homeowners Should Take Right Now
First, obtain a copy of the latest PWD Road Development Plan for your taluka. Next, compare the published road corridor with your sanctioned layout or land survey. If there is an overlap, consult an architect or civil engineer to redesign the affected portion. Then, approach the local PWD office or the district collector to confirm whether an amendment to your building permission is needed. Keep all land title documents, approved plans and any correspondence ready for quick reference.
Where to Find the Full Official Document and Who to Contact
The full official document is available on the Maharashtra PWD website under the ‘Road Development Plans’ section, and hard copies can be requested from the District Collector’s office or the local PWD sub‑division. You can also visit the Pune or Baramati municipal corporation office for assistance. Always verify the latest version, as updates may be issued after the initial publication. The issuing authority is the Maharashtra Public Works Department, and the official notice is linked at the end of this article.
Practical tips
- Download the latest plan from the Maharashtra PWD website before finalising any design.
- Mark the proposed road corridor on your own plot map to see any overlap early.
- If overlap exists, engage a qualified architect to prepare a revised layout that meets setback rules.
- Maintain a file of all correspondence with PWD and local authorities for future reference.

Real questions, real answers.
Do I need a new building permission if the road plan changes near my plot?
+
Yes, if the published road alignment cuts into your existing or planned building area you will likely need to apply for an amendment to your building permission or obtain a fresh No Objection Certificate from the PWD. Check with the local planning office to confirm the exact requirement.
Where can I view the official road development plan for my area?
+
The official plan is posted on the Maharashtra Public Works Department website under the ‘Road Development Plans’ section. You can also request a printed copy from the District Collector’s office or the nearest PWD sub‑division office.
What happens if I ignore the new road alignment and continue building as before?
+
Continuing construction without aligning to the updated road plan can be deemed illegal. You may face penalties, a stop‑work order, or even demolition of the non‑compliant portion of the building. It is safer to verify compliance before proceeding.
Is there any fee to obtain the road development plan documents?
+
The notice does not specify a fee, and charges can vary by district. Some offices provide the plan free of charge, while others may ask a nominal copy fee. Verify the exact cost with the PWD office or the official website.
