Municipal Corporation of The City of Panvel is the governing body of the city of Panvel and 29 revenue villages including Taloje Pachnand, Kharghar, Kamothe in Raigad district. [2] [3] [4] Panvel Municipal Corporation is headed by Mayor of city and governed by Commissioner. Panvel Municipal Corporation has been formed with functions to improve the infrastructure of town.
In 2016 Maharashtra State cabinet decided to elevate Panvel Municipal Council to Municipal Corporation under Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. [5]
The mismanagement of the Panvel Municipal Corporation has led to illegal encroachments in many municipal areas, such as New Township Navde near NH4, Kharghar near D-Mart, and the area near Panvel bus depot.
The Municipal Corporation does not have its own transportation system and is entirely dependent on Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT). The internal roads in nodal areas, such as Kopar, Navde, and Taloja, are currently in poor condition.
The city is lagging behind due to poor infrastructure, including an inadequate transportation system, deteriorating roads, sewage problems, and water supply issues. Despite these challenges, the authorities are allocating a massive sum of ₹280 crore for the construction of the municipal corporation building and ₹17 crore for the Mayor’s residence.
Following the formation of Panvel Municipal Corporation, CIDCO ceased to function as New Town Development Authority for the area in villages Kalundre, Devichapada, Kamothe, Chal, Tondhare, Kalmboli, Khidukpada, Pale Khurd, Asudgaon (pt), Tembhode (pt), Walvali (pt), Padghe (pt) and Roadpali (pt), and Panvel Municipal Corporation became the planning authority for the same. However CIDCO continues to be the New Town Development Authority for Kharghar, Taloje Pachnand, Owe, Navde and Pendhar.
