PUNE: The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has received nearly 900 responses within the one-month deadline since publishing the development plan for the New Mahabaleshwar Project. What's more, only 10% of the responses are objections while 90% are suggestions, according to an MSRDC official. Additionally, residents from villages around the famous hill station, designated as an eco-sensitive zone, have expressed their willingness to participate in the project.

On October 10, 2024, the MSRDC issued a notification inviting objections and suggestions from citizens to the revised draft development plan for the New Mahabaleshwar Project with the deadline set as November 10. The MSRDC has included 293 villages around Mahabaleshwar in the revised draft development plan. Spanning 1,153 square kilometers, the New Mahabaleshwar Hill Station Notified Area has been divided into four planning divisions and further categorized into 13 tourist sectors aimed at maximizing tourism potential.
