Navi Mumbai: A corporator from Kamothe has written to the mayor and municipal commissioner of Panvel City Municipal Corporation (PCMC) seeking the transaction details of a Cidco-reserved plot of around six hectares.
The prime plot number 30 in Sector-25, Kamothe is reserved for the interstate (ISBT) + Intercity Bus Terminal for Navi Mumbai. Corporator Vikas Gharat’s first letter sent in June 2026 raises apprehensions about the sale of the land to a private builder. He sent a reminder in Aug 2026. In the first letter, he submitted a five-point demand before PCMC.
The demands concern finding out the basis on which Cidco has given the plot to a developer (name not mentioned), Cidco’s department, obtaining the approval, resolution and order, among others, PCMC not sanctioning any permission on the said plot, and the reservation status remaining unchanged in the public interest. No response was received by him till Oct 15, when the PCMC special general body passed a resolution to commence its own bus (transport) service.
PCMC estate section official Jayram Padir said, “The said plot has not been demanded for any public utility purpose from the Cidco.”
A Cidco senior planning department official said, “The plot status reservation remains unchanged. This particular plot is for intercity (Pune) or interstate buses and hence out of the PCMC transport service purview.”
