During public statements in February 2024, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis confirmed that the Pune–Nashik Semi-High-Speed Rail Line is progressing with a revised route through Shirdi. He mentioned that the new alignment is currently under evaluation, and the state government is actively working with MRIDL and the Ministry of Railways to accelerate technical feasibility, land acquisition, and funding efforts. The announcement reaffirms the government’s commitment to providing high-speed connectivity between Pune, Shirdi, and Nashik.

The Nashik district administration has proposed the development of Sadhugram to accommodate akhadas, sadhus, and associated religious groups for the upcoming 2026–28 Simhastha Kumbh Mela. According to official statements and media reports, Tapovan has been publicly announced as the proposed site for establishing Sadhugram, covering a large area earmarked for temporary Kumbh Mela infrastructure. As part of the proposal, authorities have initiated land surveys, tree-marking exercises, and public consultations to review environmental and civic concerns. Citizens, environmental groups, and local stakeholders have submitted objections and participated in hearings conducted by the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC). Government representatives, including Guardian Minister Girish Mahajan, have visited the site and addressed public queries regarding the scope and impact of the project. This commitment tracks the administrative process, official announcements, survey activities, public objections, environmental considerations, layout revisions, and future government decisions related to the development of Sadhugram.

A new ₹25 crore pedestrian bridge, "Ram Jhula" will be built over the Godavari river to provide flood-proof, year-round access between Balaji Kot and Ganesh Wadi. The project aims to support Kumbh Mela 2027, improve safety, and enhance Nashik’s cultural identity.

In June 2025, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis publicly stated that the Nashik Ring Road project had been approved. The project aims to build a 66.15 km ring road to reduce congestion and improve regional connectivity. Following this announcement, the Government of Maharashtra issued an official GR on 21 November 2025 approving land acquisition and project execution through MSIDC. Further progress will involve MoRTH approval for civil works and subsequent tendering.

During ongoing preparations for Nashik Kumbh Mela, over 1,800 trees in the Tapovan area are being removed for road widening and infrastructure works. In response to citizen concerns, Kumbh Mela Chief and Guardian Minister Girish Mahajan publicly committed that the administration will plant 10 new trees for every single tree removed. The replantation process will be monitored as part of the Kumbh development plan.
