Lavasa (Marathi: लवासा, lavāsā) is a private, planned city in the state of Maharashtra in India built near Pune. It is stylistically based on the Italian town Portofino, with a street and several buildings bearing the name of that town. A 100-square-kilometre (39 sq mi) or 32-square-kilometre (12 sq mi) project being developed by HCC, this as-yet-incomplete city has been controversial for multiple reasons including procurement of land, harm to the environment, and loans acquired through political corruption. In late 2010, the Indian Environment and Forests Ministry ordered that construction cease because the project violated environmental laws. In 2011, this order has been rescinded. The project's scale may have been reduced, however, and an initial public offering may not occur. In 2023, a resolution plan has been approved by the National Company Law Tribunal, with Darwin Platform Infrastructure Ltd being declared as the successful bidder responsible for the city's construction. As of late 2025 - 2026, The project has been abandoned due to debt, environmental issues, and poor planning.
