In a major relief for tribal families affected by the Deharji Medium Project in Vikramgad taluka, the Maharashtra Government has approved an enhanced compensation package of approximately ₹25.43 lakh per hectare for eligible landholders, substantially increasing payouts for project-affected residents.

The revised framework follows multiple rounds of discussions involving the state government, public representatives, concerned departments and the Palghar district administration to ensure fair compensation for tribal communities whose land is being acquired.
