Nagpur to Resurface 250 Roads Using In-House Hotmix Plant

Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has launched a major road resurfacing project to repair around 250 roads across all 10 zones of the city.

The civic body aims to complete the work, covering 53.3 km in total, within 52 days, by 30 November 2025, reported The Times of India.

The project, valued at Rs 14.5 crore, is being executed through NMC’s upgraded hotmix plant, eliminating the need for external contractors. Officials said the move will help improve road quality, ensure tighter supervision, and reduce costs.

According to officials, the Dhantoli zone will see the maximum work, with 116 roads covering 16.8 km to be resurfaced. It will be followed by Mangalwari zone, where 35 roads spanning 10.4 km will be repaired.

A senior civic official said the decision was taken after numerous complaints from residents about deteriorating road conditions following heavy monsoon damage. “Using our hotmix plant gives us direct control over quality and schedule,” he added.

The NMC will coordinate with other departments to avoid overlapping work on water and sewerage pipelines during resurfacing.

The civic body plans to use advanced bitumen mixes and GPS-based monitoring to track progress in real-time.
