The Pune RMC Association has announced the resumption of Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) operations across Pune district from the morning of May 9, 2026, following constructive discussions with district authorities and regulatory agencies regarding operational guidelines for the industry. The association expressed appreciation to the district administration and all concerned departments for their coordinated efforts in resolving issues affecting the RMC sector and ensuring continuity of infrastructure and construction activities in the region.
The association particularly acknowledged the support extended by District Collector Jitendra Duddi, PMC Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram, ACP Traffic Manoj Patil, traffic police officials, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), and Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA).
According to the association, the authorities have taken positive steps towards developing a practical and uniform Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the Pune RMC industry, balancing industrial requirements with environmental and public safety considerations. The Pune RMC Association also thanked several industry bodies and supporting organisations, including NAREDCO, CREDAI, BAI, and other stakeholders for extending their support during the discussions.
The association further acknowledged the cooperation of media organisations, Pune citizens, and all RMC plant owners across the district, including local manufacturers and national RMC companies, for maintaining unity and operational discipline throughout the process. Following an internal meeting attended by more than 300 RMC members and subsequent consultations with authorities, the association confirmed that all RMC operations across Pune district would resume in accordance with the directions and compliance measures prescribed by the district administration, traffic police, PMC, and MPCB.
As part of its renewed commitment to public accountability and responsible operations, the Pune RMC Association also announced the launch of a dedicated toll-free citizen helpline, the details of which will be released shortly. The helpline will enable citizens and authorities to report issues related to traffic violations by transit mixers, unsafe or rash driving, pollution concerns linked to RMC vehicles or plants, and any environmental or public nuisance caused by RMC operations. The association stated that all complaints received through the helpline would be addressed seriously in coordination with the relevant authorities.
Reaffirming its long-term vision, the association stated that the RMC industry remains committed to sustainable development, environmental responsibility, and supporting infrastructure growth in the Pune region. The association also highlighted the critical role of concrete in infrastructure development, noting that after water, concrete is among the most widely consumed materials globally and remains an essential component of modern construction and urban development.
