With development on the lines of Navi Mumbai, signs of a “New Jalgaon” are emerging in Paladhi and Tarsod, where property developers and investors are beginning to focus their attention, according to a report by Loksatta. Construction on the 17.70 km bypass highway is in its final stretch, with quality checks, electrification, and signage installation being fast-tracked.
District Collector Ayush Prasad recently inspected the works and confirmed that traffic has already started moving on one side of the road. Over the last two decades, Jalgaon has witnessed growth across the east, west, and south, causing property prices in these areas to surge. The northern stretch, previously hampered by weak connectivity, is now attracting investment following the improved road network.
This change is expected to fuel growth in real estate, local businesses, and essential services within a three-to-four km radius of the city. Proposals for schools and hospitals are also on the table, which will reduce travel hassles, improve sanitation, and generate higher revenue for the municipal body, according to reports.
Despite significant development spilling beyond existing limits, the Jalgaon Municipal Corporation has not revised its boundaries in 22 years. Officials are now considering extending them to include nearby villages. Once local panchayats issue no-objection certificates, boundary expansion could move forward after the elections.
