LALIT PATIL 18070
INTRODUCTION
The City and Industrial Development Corporation of
Maharashtra (CIDCO) is an Indian city planning agency and
richest government authority in India which is formed and
controlled by the Government of Maharashtra. CIDCO was formed
on 17 March 1970 under the Indian Companies Act of 1956; its
purpose at the time of its creation was to develop a satellite town
to Mumbai, Maharashtra, and now functioning as New Town
Development Authority (NTDA) and Special Planning Authority
(SPA) of Government of Maharashtra for development of New
Towns by planning and developing entire urban infrastructure,
providing municipal services, executing large scale infrastructure
projects including Navi Mumbai International Airport, Navi
Mumbai Metro. CIDCO also launched India's first smart city
project. CIDCO has ownership of all plots in new cities,
underutilised funds about Rs 40,000 crore and reserved Land
Bank; which makes CIDCO richest Government Authority.
ORGANIZATION

The corporation is controlled by a board of directors appointed

by the state government. Day-to-day management is provided by
the vice chairman and managing director supported by a team of
joint managing directors, made up of the chief administrator
(New Towns), the heads of various departments and personnel
from various technical and non-technical disciplines, including
officers, engineers and subordinate staff.
The corporation is managed according to the Companies Act and
the Memorandum of Articles of Association of the Corporation.
Decisions are made through a democratic process including
department-head meetings, committee meetings, board
meetings and general meetings. Annual reports on the working
and affairs of the company, with audit reports, are regularly
laid before the houses of the state legislature. The Board of
Directors of CIDCO meets at least once a month.
OBJECTIVES of CIDCO

CIDCO was given a mandate to undertake all development as works

and recoup the cost of development from the sale proceeds of land
and constructed property. Based on the mandate, CIDCO set several
broad objectives for itself. It aims to prevent population influx into
Mumbai, diverting it to the new town, by providing an urban
alternative which will lure citizens wishing to relocate to a city of
peace and comfort. Immigrants are to be absorbed from other
states and efficient and rational distribution of industries is
promoted by preparing a ground for them who otherwise could have
opted for Mumbai. CIDCO plans to provide basic civic amenities to
all and elevate standards of living for people of all social and
economic strata. Moreover, it wants to offer a healthy environment
and energizing atmosphere in order to utilize human resources at
their fullest potentials.
COURSE of ACTION

In order to achieve these goals, CIDCO started to

develop land and provide the required physical
infrastructure such as roads, bridges, drainage and
sewerage system, drinking water system and street
lights. It has built a stock of houses supported by social
infrastructure such as community centres, markets,
parks, education institutes and playgrounds. It promotes
commercial activities, warehousing, transportation and
decentralisation of government administration. Lastly, it
involves agencies in the development of public transport
and telecommunication
NAVI MUMBAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The new international airport, perhaps to be located

in the Kopar-Panvel area, may be built through
public-private partnership (PPP), with a private
sector partner having 74% equity while the Airports
Authority of India (AAI) and the Maharashtra
government (through City and Industrial
Development Corporation or CIDCO) would hold 13%
each. The International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) has already given techno-feasibility
clearance to the Navi Mumbai International airport.
CIDCO PROJECTS
Besides Mumbai, CIDCO operates successfully in
Aurangabad, Nashik, Latur and Nanded in Maharashtra
state. Some very successful projects have been
undertaken by CIDCO in Aurangabad. Aurangabad city's
localities are named as Neighbourhood-One (N-1),
Neighbourhood-Two (N-2) through N-12. The Aurangabad
division has now been handed over to the Aurangabad
Municipal Corporation.
A new development in Aurangabad district is in Waluj. It
is 12 km southwest of Aurangabad city and is well
connected to the city. These projects are approximately
sixteen times the size of those executed in Aurangabad
city. One more CIDCO plant has been undertaken south of
Aurangabad city, near Gevrai village beside the Sahara
city project
