Shinde said good structures are coming up due to TDR (Transferable Development Rights). He suggested that big projects can be constructed using the construction TDR without using civic funds.

The chief minister said big projects are being cleared in Maharashtra with the help of the Centre. "The Union government has sanctioned funds worth Rs 16,000 crore for Urban Development Department," he said.
