MCG Sends Notices to Seven Unlicensed RMC Plants in Gurugram, Threatens Demolition

By Mihika Shah

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has issued notices to seven ready‑mix concrete (RMC) plants that are allegedly operating without valid licenses. The notices, sent on Monday, give the operators a two‑day period to submit proper documentation and clarify their change of land use (CLU) status. If the responses are unsatisfactory, the MCG has warned that the plants will be demolished.

The action follows a recent MCG survey that identified seven additional RMC plants lacking the required permissions, in addition to 31 plants previously flagged by the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB). Of those 31, 11 units have already been demolished by the civic body, 17 operators voluntarily removed their units after administrative action, three plants possess valid CLU permissions, and one case remains pending.

The seven newly identified plants are located in Daulatabad, Gadoli Kalan, Kherki Majra and Dhanwapur villages. Specifically, there are two plants each in Daulatabad and Gadoli Kalan, two in Kherki Majra, and one in Dhanwapur.

Joint Commissioner Dr. Preetpal Singh said the operators have been given two days to submit their documents. "An action would be taken against the plants after the deadline if their explanations were not satisfactory," he added.
