A Ministry of Road Transport and Highways notification dated 12 October 2026 declares acquisition of land listed in its schedule for NH 160 Package I in Satara district. The notice describes the stretch from Phaltan village at km 301+430 to Dahiwadi village at km 340+250 and specifies widening work that includes two- or four-laning with paved shoulders. Read the official Gazette notification.
What did the Gazette declare?
The notice is S.O. 5598(E), issued under section 3D of the National Highways Act. It follows an earlier section 3A notification dated 20 April 2026, which had declared the intention to acquire the scheduled land. The new notice says objections filed under section 3C were considered and settled before the competent authority submitted its report to the Central Government.
The Gazette then declares that the land specified in the schedule should be acquired for the stated NH 160 purpose. It also states that, on publication of the notification in the Official Gazette, the scheduled land vests in the Central Government free from encumbrances. That is the legal effect described in this notice; it does not supply a buyer-specific possession date or compensation calculation.
Which land does the notice identify?
The road description names villages at the two ends of the stretch, but the attached schedule lists individual parcels using survey numbers, land type, nature and area. The village endpoints are not a statement that every plot in Phaltan or Dahiwadi is included. Anyone comparing a holding or a nearby listing with the notice needs to match the relevant survey number and parcel records rather than infer impact from a route label alone.
The schedule contains personal names as well as parcel details. This report focuses on the land identifiers needed to understand the scope and does not reproduce those names. BestProp.ai previously explained a separate land schedule for Bengaluru Suburban Rail Corridor 4; that notice concerns a different project and location.
What does this notice leave open?
The Gazette identifies the statutory acquisition step and the scheduled land. It does not set out a compensation amount, tender award, construction start date or completion timetable. Those questions need separate project or parcel records; they cannot be answered from the section 3D notice alone.
For a person assessing a plot near the corridor, the useful distinction is between the road project’s route description and a specific parcel’s appearance in the schedule. The document is strong evidence of the declared acquisition scope, but it is not a construction-progress report or an estimate of how the project will affect an unrelated nearby property.
Source and limitation
This report relies on the Ministry’s 12 October 2026 Gazette notice for the order, route endpoints and acquisition language. It does not reproduce private landholder names. The reviewed notice does not state compensation values or a construction calendar.
Does the Gazette name all land in the two villages?
No. The notice identifies parcels in its schedule; the village names in the route description mark endpoints. They do not establish that every plot in either village is included.
Does the notification give a compensation or construction date?
The reviewed notice gives neither a compensation amount nor a construction start or completion date. It declares the scheduled acquisition and its stated legal effect.
