Presently, the construction in the Pradhikaran areas is allowed only up to 36 metres (11 floors). Now it is proposed to permit construction up to 69 metres (22 floors).

PCNTDA Chairman Sadashiv Khade said that the Pradhikaran will send its decision to the Maharashtra government for its approval. The decision will be implemented after receiving the government’s sanction, he said.

The Nigdi Pradhikaran area falls under the jurisdiction of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. The construction activities in the Pradhikaran area are not on the style of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation area due to different development rules.
