Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, Union minister Nitin Gadkari, and guardian minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule will unveil projects worth over ₹95 crore on June 22.
The Nagpur Municipal Corporation's (NMC) general body was dissolved in March 2022, and since then, the civic body has been functioning under an administrator. However, with the state government recently notifying the process for delimitation of wards, the city is gradually moving towards municipal elections.
Seeking to capitalise on this momentum, the ruling BJP is highlighting its developmental work over the last three terms since 2007.
Among the major projects slated for inauguration is the ₹55.29 crore PMAY 'Swapnaniketan Project', aimed at providing affordable housing. The newly constructed Pachpaoli Fire Station, built at a cost of ₹18.38 crore, and 27 Ayushman Aarogya Mandirs (Health and Wellness Centres) are also on the list, underscoring a focus on urban health and emergency response infrastructure.
Other projects include a ₹5.47 crore tree transplanter machine, three new fire tenders worth ₹4.14 crore, a smart toilet facility at Omkar Nagar (₹45.68 lakh), a hot mix plant for road repairs (₹2.21 crore), and the Kalamna swimming pool, developed at a cost of ₹3.23 crore.
Beautification works worth ₹3.85 crore will also be inaugurated. These include landscaping under flyovers at Mehandibagh, Dahi Bazar, Sakkardara, and Dighori; graffiti murals near JP Nagar Metro Station; and public art installations such as murals of women riding bikes and an astronaut standing at Narendra Nagar Square.

With the BJP eyeing a fourth consecutive term at the helm of the NMC, the inauguration of these projects is widely seen as a strategic move to reinforce its development credentials ahead of the upcoming civic polls.
