Study plan by PCMC officials for HCMTR projectIn the month of February, scheduled High

Capacity Mass Transport Route (HCMTR)

from Kokane Chowk to Swaraj Garden was

scrutinized by Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal

Corporation’s Former Commissioner Rajeev

Jadhav.

Four months after former Municipal Com-

missioner Rajeev Jadhav presented the draft

budget in which a high capacity tram service,

mono rail or a light rail were suggested as

mass transit projects. The PCMC is working on

a plan to have one of the three projects on a

30-m wide circular high capacity mass transit

route with the distance of 29km.

During the presentation of the Rs 3, 982

crore draft budget for 2016-17, a tram service

was one of the ideas tabled by Jadhav. He had

said that if the tram project materializes, Pim-

pri Chinchwad may become the first city in the

State to have such a facility in modern times.

In Rahatani and Kokane Chowk, the length of

the HCMTR project is two kilometre and width

is 30 metre. Various entertainment mediums

are included in this project for all age groups.

According to the officials, around 35% of

the land is reserved for high-capacity transit.

The 29km-stretch passes from Bhakti Shakti

Chowk, Tata’s material gate in Chinchwad,

Rose Garden in Nehrunagar, Nashik Phata,

Kokane Chowk, Rahatni, Thergaon, Walheka-

rwadi and later to Spine Road to reach Bhakti

Shakti Chowk in Nigdi.
