PCMC To Relax Norms For City Centre ProjectBy akansha, Section Development
Bowing to the demands from builders, the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has decided to relax the terms and conditions for the city centre project and invite bids for the project again.
Dnyaneshwar Bhalerao, chairman, standing committee, told reporters on Friday that a decision was taken to change the terms and conditions for the project at a meeting held to discuss the build, operate and transfer (BOT) projects of the PCMC. Bhalerao said, "The PCMC wanted the whole city centre project for commercial purpose, but builders said that they should be permitted to use some space for residential use also. They said that the PCMC should not put conditions on land use and also expressed their inability to deposit Rs 100 crore, stating that the market conditions are bad." Consequently, the PCMC has decided to reduce the deposit amount to Rs 50 crore, Bhalerao said. The civic body will hand over only that portion of land that has to be developed. The commercial space will be 50 per cent of the total area of the city centre project, while retail market will have 30 per cent space and office space will be 20 per cent.

Bhalerao added, "The lease period of the land for the project will be reduced from 99 years to 70 years as legally the life of a building is 70 years. The building will be demolished after 70 years and the land will be returned to the PCMC."
He said that fresh bids will most likely be invited from Monday. The builders said that they would prepare their own design for the project which will help them attract clients, Bhalerao said. The PCMC intends to develop the city centre on public-private partnership (PPP) basis on the plot opposite Autocluster in Chinchwad. The city centre is proposed to have corporate offices, eating joints, shops and entertainment facilities.
