CIDCO has been appointed as the New Town Development Authority for the Jalna- Kharpudi New Town Project under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 by the Government of Maharashtra. This will be the eleventh New Town project to be developed by CIDCO in the state.
The Government, in 2019 earmarked the Jalna-Kharpudi as notified area. However, later the government de-notified the said area. After that, CIDCO requested the government to appoint it as a special planning authority to develop the Jalna-Kharpudi area. Accordingly, after consultation with the Director, Town Planning, State of Maharashtra, Pune, it was decided by the Government to declare the said area as "New Town" and CIDCO as "Jalna-Kharpudi New Town Development Authority".

A thought was put forward that the Jalna-Kharpudi project should be completed by an agency or company of a Government-owned or Government-controlled corporation or a secondary company, considering the scope and complexity of the work, the time required to set up new machinery for the work, the comparative time required to undertake the work in public interest and complete it.
As per the notification issued by the GoM regarding the appointment of CIDCO as NTDA for Jalna-Kharpudi Notified Area, Jalna-Kharpudi Notified Area is subject to the Financial Feasibility Report from the CIDCO for the said area at first.
From the date of the appointment of CIDCO as a New Town Development Authority for Jalna-Kharpudi area any other Special Planning Authority functioning in the said notified area shall cease to function. CIDCO will prepare and publish the Planning Proposals for the said notified area and submit the same to the Government for sanction after following due procedure prescribed in the MRTP Act, 1966. The Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations shall be applicable for the said notified area.
