Maharashtra Clears Free Government Land for ESIC Hospitals Statewide

A new Revenue Department resolution sets Class-II terms, finance thresholds, plus area norms.

Overview

  • Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule announced the policy following directives from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, with a formal government resolution issued on Friday.
  • Allotted parcels will be free of cost and exempt from land revenue and cess, with transfers made under Occupancy Class-II to prevent commercial use.
  • Applications for land valued up to Rs 1 crore will be cleared at the departmental level, while higher-value parcels require concurrence from the Finance Department.
  • The state has specified indicative land needs tied to bed capacity and FSI of 1.5 or 2.0, ranging from 3–5 acres for 100 beds to 8–10 acres for 500 beds.
  • The uniform policy expands a June decision for a Karodi hospital and will be applied where suitable government land is available, with officials highlighting likely benefits in hubs such as Pune-Pimpri-Chinchwad, Nashik, Palghar and Raigad.
