In October 2025, PMC had told the Supreme Court the 43 km High Capacity Mass Transit Route (HCMTR) was abandoned. In September 2026, a high-level meeting fast-tracked land acquisition for the same project, now costed at Rs 2,534.37 crore across 16 villages and 51.73 hectares. Citizens and activists then raised concerns, citing a 2019 report estimating over 1,000 families potentially displaced and significant tree, lake and hill impact along the route.
A revived ring road would improve city-wide mobility, but the resident concerns are a real part of the story – large alignments cut through neighbourhoods and green cover.
For buyers, a project like this is a reminder to check whether a property sits on or near a planned alignment before you buy – road reservations can affect value and usability. Follow how the acquisition and its objections are resolved.
