Compulsory land acquisition ordered for Pune's new airport

Pune's Purandar international airport project has advanced after the district administration decided to compulsorily acquire the remaining 40 hectares of land after some farmers refused to give their consent. The project requires 1,216 hectares across seven villages, with 96% of farmers reportedly consenting and 76% of the land already handed over. Compensation has been set at ₹1.61 crore/acre.
