Speaking at NAREDCO's annual summit at the Jio World Convention Center in BKC, Sarnaik highlighted the significant land assets of ST, which amount to over 3,000 acres spread across 840 locations in the state.
The event was attended by NAREDCO President Haribabu, along with leading developers such as Rajan Bandekar, Niranjan Hiranandani, and Jay Morjaria, among others.
Sarnaik emphasized that the ST Corporation, a key player in public transportation, owns land parcels categorized into three groups district, taluka, and rural areas.
While prime locations in major cities attract substantial interest from developers, rural and taluka-level sites see much less demand.
To address this imbalance, the Maharashtra government is set to introduce a new tender process that will link high-value urban plots with less popular rural ones.
