CIDCO (City and Industrial Development Corporation) has made significant strides in addressing unauthorized constructions across Navi Mumbai and NAINA areas in 2024. The organization demolished 2,102 structures, reclaiming a total of 2,06,431 square meters of land, following a series of demolition drives. The actions were taken under the guidance of the CIDCO leadership and its Controller of Unauthorized Constructions (CUC) team.
In total, CIDCO conducted 547 demolition drives over the year, targeting various types of unauthorized developments, including temporary structures, RCC buildings, and illegal stalls. Prior to the demolitions, CIDCO issued notices to 2,160 property owners, informing them of the impending action under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning (MRTP) Act.
The demolitions were carried out with the support of Navi Mumbai Police, ensuring law and order during these operations. CIDCO’s ongoing efforts to remove encroachments come as part of its broader mission to prevent disruptions to the city’s urban planning. The reclaimed land is expected to aid in the development of key infrastructure projects, including the Navi Mumbai International Airport, Atal Setu (MTHL), Ulwe Coastal Road, Navi Mumbai Metro, and various housing schemes.
CIDCO has also been actively publishing notices in newspapers to warn residents about illegal constructions and is advising potential buyers in the region to verify property documents carefully to avoid financial risks related to unauthorized buildings.
The demolition drives are seen as a necessary step in safeguarding the city’s development, ensuring that encroachments do not obstruct planned infrastructure and urban growth.
