Maharashtra has approved the acquisition of 2,823 hectares for Purandar Airport using the 'pass through method.' This method allows land to be acquired at five times the standard rates, ensuring fair compensation for landowners. The land will be taken from seven villages in Purandar taluka, with 2,753 hectares designated as an industrial area. An additional 70 hectares will be acquired from the state forest department. The airport project, announced in 2016, faced delays and opposition. The current government has reaffirmed the original location for the airport, with plans to complete it within five years.
