Sarnaik made this announcement at an exhibition organized by the Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry on Sunday.
The minister outlined ambitious plans to utilize MSRTC’s vast land assets for infrastructure and sustainable development projects.

The proposed projects include the construction of essential infrastructure such as bus stations, depots, and administrative offices, alongside green initiatives like electric bus charging stations, rainwater harvesting systems, solar panel installations, and 100-bed modern hospitals at district centers.
Developers partnering with MSRTC will also be allowed to utilize the remaining portions of the land for commercial projects, offering a lucrative opportunity to the real estate sector.

Dominic Romell and other prominent developers, architects, and officials attended the event.
