What is NMRDA and How can I check if a project is NMRDA approved?
What is NMRDA?
NMRDA stands for Nagpur Metropolitan Region Development Authority.
- It is a state government body formed in 2016 to plan and regulate urban development across the Nagpur Metropolitan Region (NMR).
- Covers Nagpur city + nearby expanding areas like MIHAN, Jamtha, Hingna, Besa, Beltarodi, and surrounding villages.
- Its main role is to ensure planned development by approving layouts, townships, and large-scale projects according to the Nagpur Metropolitan Regional Plan (NMRP).
- Helps manage roads, drainage, utilities, and zoning regulations for new developments.
Why it matters:
- Only NMRDA-approved projects are legal for sale.
- Banks provide loans only for NMRDA-approved layouts.
- Ensures buyers are protected from illegal or unplanned developments.
How to Check if a Project is NMRDA Approved
1. Official Website Check
- Visit the NMRDA official portal: https://nmrda.org
- Look for “Approved Layouts / Townships / Projects”.
- Search using:
- Project name
- Developer name
- Location / village / area
2. Documentation from the Builder
- The builder must provide:
- NMRDA approval letter or layout sanction
- Plan number / reference number
- Cross-verify it with the NMRDA portal.
3. Site Verification
- NMRDA-approved layouts must have:
- Layout plan displayed at the site
- Clearly demarcated roads, open spaces, and plot numbers
- Avoid projects without displayed NMRDA approval.
Tips for Buyers
- Never book a plot without checking NMRDA approval.
- Ensure all plots have individual allotment letters and follow NMRDA-approved layout.
- Bank loans are often rejected for plots without NMRDA approval.
✅ In short:
NMRDA approval = legal, bankable, and planned property in Nagpur’s growing areas. Always verify online + physically before investing.
