The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) serves as the principal governing and administrative body responsible for managing the city’s civic infrastructure and urban development. Established on 22 October 1982 (effective from 7 November 1982), NMC was constituted through the amalgamation of three erstwhile municipal councils—Nashik Municipal Council, Nashik Road–Deolali Municipal Council, and Satpur Municipal Council. The Corporation’s jurisdiction also partially encompasses the villages of Vihitgaon, Vadner, and Pimpalgaon Khamb. The civic administration operates from its headquarters at Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, Sharanpur Road, Nashik, supported by six ward offices located across key zones—Main Road (Nashik East), Pandit Colony (Nashik West), Panchavati, Satpur, CIDCO, and Nashik Road. In 2014, NMC was reclassified as a ‘B’ Class Municipal Corporation (Government Notification No. MCO–2014/CR–153/UD–14, dated 1 September 2014).
