The five villages in the Bidkin area of Aurangabad are set to be transformed as farmers have started receiving money for the land they gave up for the ambitious Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project. The first installment of Rs.75 crore was disbursed to 100 farmers on Wednesday.
Bharat Dharpale, a farmer from Bidkin, got a cheque for Rs 1.5 crore from the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) for his land.
The DMIC project in Maharashtra covers Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Nashik, Aurangabad, Ahmednagar, Pune, Dhule and Nandurbar districts and influences about 18% of the total area of the state. Aurangabad was included in the DMIC Early Bird project with the Shendra-Bidkin Industrial Park and the International Convention Centre proposed to come up on 8,340 hectares.
The state government had sanctioned Rs.1,314 crore in all for the farmers of Bidkin, Banni Tanda, Bangal Tanda, Nilajgaon and Nandalgaon villages. The next instalment of Rs.500 crore is expected in a couple of days.On Wednesday, the mood in the village was upbeat as news of the disbursement by the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) spread. Of the 2,351 hectares of land to be acquired for the project, 1,478 hectares of land is owned by 1,783 farmers in Bidkin. The farmers were promised a rate of Rs.23 lakh per acre for their land.
Thus, Bidikin farmers would get Rs.850 crore. The compensation for each farmer in the village will range between Rs.23 lakh and Rs.10 crore.
District land acquisition officer Sambhaji Adkune said that the second phase of land acquisition of 2,320 hectares of land at Bidkin for DMIC project was completed last month. “About 4,000-5,000 farmers have given their consent for the acquisition of 2,320 hectares of land for DMIC project in Bidkin. The acquisition of 555 hectares of land at Karmad was completed in the first phase of DMIC project in October 2012, in which the beneficiaries were offered Rs 23 lakh per acre,” Adkune said.
After completing the first phase of land acquisition, the district had started the process of second phase in five villages in Bidkin area.

The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) Trust approved nine projects entailing investment of Rs.1.2 lakh crore in September 2013. The 100 billion USD project, being executed with the assistance of the Japanese government, is the largest industrial project to be undertaken in the country.

The 1,483 km project will run through seven states — Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra, alongside the proposed Delhi-Mumbai dedicated rail freight corridor
