Speaking at an exhibition organized by the Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry, Minister Sarnaik highlighted the vast potential of this initiative, which plans to utilize the MSRTC’s significant land assets for both infrastructure and sustainable development projects.
The MSRTC land, spread across 842 locations in urban, semi-urban, and rural areas, will be developed under a 'build, operate, and transfer' (BOT) model or a public-private partnership (PPP) framework.
The proposed projects include the construction of essential infrastructure such as bus stations, depots, and administrative offices.
Additionally, green initiatives like electric bus charging stations, rainwater harvesting systems, solar panel installations, and 100-bed modern hospitals at district centers are also on the agenda.
Developers partnering with MSRTC will have the opportunity to use the remaining portions of the land for commercial projects, presenting a lucrative opportunity for the real estate sector.
Minister Sarnaik announced that a comprehensive policy detailing these plans will be released soon, and he urged CREDAI and other industry leaders to submit suggestions and proposals for the initiative.
