All about Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC)

After over two decades of demands being made by locals, the Maharashtra government, in September 2016, issued a notification declaring Panvel a municipal corporation. The Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) came into existence from October 1, 2016.

The notification to convert into a corporation was first issued in 1991 but the attempts did not materialise. The formation of the PMC resulted in India’s first municipal council in Panvel becoming a municipal corporation – the Panvel Municipal Council was established on August 25, 1852, as the first municipal council in India by the British. It is also Maharashtra’s 27th and Raigad district’s first municipal corporation.
