History

Panvel Municipal Council was formed on August 25, 1852 as the first municipal council in the country. The initial notification for converting Panvel Municipal Council to Municipal Corporation came in the year 1991 but was never finalised. After rapid urbanisation post-2000, Panvel Municipal Council was eventually upgraded to Municipal Corporation in 2016.

Panvel Municipal Corporation is the first Municipal Corporation in Raigad district, 9th in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and 27th in the state of Maharashtra. The Municipal Corporation includes 29 revenue villages of Panvel taluka including CIDCO colonies of Taloja, Kharghar, Kalamboli, Kamothe, New Panvel covering area of 110 km2.

The Government of Maharashtra through its Urban Development Department's notification dated 14 October 2016 has added 11 more villages (namely: Bid, Adivali, Rohinjan, Dhansar, Pisarve, Turbhe, Karvale Budruk, Nagzeri, Taloje Majkur, Ghot and Koynavele) of Panvel Taluka to the Panvel Municipal Corporation. Earlier these 11 villages were part of MMRDA's sanctioned development plan of "AKBSNA"(Ambernath Kulgaon Badlapur Surrounding Notified Area).
