History of Magarpatta


Magarpatta was originally multiple plots of farm land owned by a farmer community called the ‘Magars’. The farm land that they had been cultivating came under the auspices of the Pune Municipal Corporation from 1960, although officially the land was earmarked an agricultural zone or area. But in 1982, this piece of land was categorized as a 'Future Urbanisable Zone' by the Pune Municipal Corporation in its preliminary vision for future development plan of this area, following which it entailed that the PMC would easily be able to take over the land to develop it bound by the 'Urban Land Ceiling Act'.

A group of 123 families comprising of the Magar family along with their closest neighbours decided to develop the property on their own. Creating a pool over well over 400 acres, they requested the help of architects, most notable amongst them being Hafeez Contractor, to outline a plan for a private urban township which was then tendered to the necessary officials of the various departments of the state administration handling the project for approval. A company was formed so that every family got a share which was equivalent to the size of their landholdings. The Managing Director of the company, Satish Magar has registered the company under the name of Magarpatta Township Development and Construction Company Limited.
