Nagpur: Nearly 33 companies that were allotted land in the MIHAN project have yet to begin work, prompting the Development Commissionerate to consider issuing notices to the non-operational firms.
According to official sources, a review conducted in November 2025 revealed that 24 companies in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and 9 companies in the Non-SEZ area had acquired plots long ago but have not started any development activity so far.
Sources indicated that the Development Commissionerate is likely to convene a meeting soon, where the companies may be warned to either initiate work on their projects immediately or surrender the allotted land.
