Pune Ring Road map route, project details and latest updates

The Pune Ring Road is a 264-km ring road project that will be developed in Pune to boost road connectivity in the city. Developed in different phases, the Pune Ring Road was conceptualised in 2007, to boost connectivity in the city and its suburban areas. However, lack of funding had put the project on the back-burner. In September 2021, the Maharashtra government gave its approval for Rs 26,831 crores for the 173-km-long Ring Road project, including construction and land acquisition costs.

The 173-km Pune ring road is being implemented by Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) and the inner ring road project in Pune will be implemented by the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA). As per MSRDC officials, the Pune Ring Road project is expected to be completed by December 2026.

According to the state’s urban development minister, the proposed Ring Road would help in the reduction of pollution by about 25% and boost socio-economic development in the region. He also said that the project would improve road connectivity in Pune. He highlighted that the vehicles travelling to areas like Saswad, Nashik, Ahmednagar, Konkan and Mumbai pass through the city, thus, causing traffic congestion and air and noise pollution. The Ring Road would significantly reduce the travel time and distance. It would involve the acquisition of around 1554.64 hectares of land, he said.

Pune Ring Road construction status

The land acquisition for the Pune Ring Road’s western alignment is around 92% complete while over 80% has been completed for the eastern alignment. Recently, collector Jitendra Dudi announced a 25% bonus for landowners who are willing to give up their land for the project under the Land Acquisition Act. As per reports, the land acquisition for the first and second phases will be completed by May 2025, an official said as cited in a TOI report.

As per reports, the PMRDA has fast-tracked the Pune inner ring road project and proposed acquiring 115 hectares in 13 villages.  The land acquisition for the PMRDA ring road was started in March 2025 and it will be completed in three months.

Pune Ring Road route and connectivity

The circular, 173-km route of the road, is not only expected to improve the poor commuting conditions across the city but also open investment avenues in 29 real estate markets that lie along the approved alignment of the Ring Road.  The Pune district authorities proposed two ring roads to help commuters reach the national highway routes quickly.

The Ring Road within the PMRDA limits will pass through nine talukas including Maval, Khed, Shirur, Haveli, Daund, Purandar, Bhor, Velhe and Mulshi.

The Pune Ring Road will be developed as an eight-lane express highway. It will allow a maximum vehicle speed of Rs 120 km per hour. The ring road project is being developed through Public Private Partnership (PPP) and PMRDA will be preparing the DPR for the inner part of the Pune Ring Road.

• The first package of the mega-project will comprise of construction of a 29.8-km stretch from Solu to Soratwardi on the Pune-Solapur Road. This package will cost Rs 3,523 crores.
  
• The second package will comprise of construction of a 36.73-km road from Soratwadi to Valve. The cost of the second package will be around Rs 4,495 crores.

Pune Ring Road: Impact on real estate

The Pune Ring Road will pass through some of the fastest-growing suburban areas of the city. These include Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pirangut, Sivapur, Lonikand and others. Out of these, Pimpri and Pirangut already have some of the biggest township projects, attracting affordable home buyers and investors alike.

Growth of new townships

The ring road project will drive the growth of new townships in the city. The PMRDA has commenced the town planning scheme in Mhalunge and Mann areas. The Mhalunge-Mann Township will be developed over 700 acre on the lines of Hinjewadi IT Park. Moreover, nearly Rs 450 crore will be spent on the infrastructure development of the proposed ring road in Pune, which is expected to generate over 10,000 crore in the next 4-5 years.

Around 15 townships will be developed in the 32 km-long Phase 1 of the ring road. The planned projects are likely to come up in the outskirts such as Avatalewadi, Wadachi Wadi, Wadki, Holkarwadi, Phursungi, Manjri Budruk, Yevalewadi, Urali Devachi, Handewadi and Pisoli. Further, the PMRDA has announced the development of two townships in Holkarwadi and a residential project in Vadachiwadi and Autande Handewadi, each. These four residential projects will be spread over 500 acres of land.

PMRDA has planned to generate nearly one-fourth of the project cost through land monetisation models and town planning schemes. The growth of these townships and residential projects will cater to the growing demand for properties in the city owing to the upcoming infrastructure project. Homebuyers will have more residential options to explore. Besides, those planning to buy properties for investment can expect to earn good rentals since potential tenants are likely to search homes in these areas.

Development of peripheral areas

The Pune Ring Road project will boost infrastructure development in the peripheral areas of Pune. With enhanced connectivity to the city, the neighbouring regions, including towns and cities are expected to see real estate developments and increased demand residential and commercial properties.

Premium micro-markets to see property price drop

The upcoming road project and development of townships will drive more new real estate opportunities catering to potential homebuyers. However, this will have an impact on the premium micro-markets of Viman Nagar, Kalyani Nagar, Koregaon Park, Kharadi and Magarpatta, where the property prices are expected to cool down. Currently, the average property price in these areas is around Rs 8,500 to Rs 10,000 per sq ft. This had made the eastern Pune localities slightly unaffordable. Hence, the focus of potential homebuyers has shifted western Pune.

Growth of logistics hubs

The MSRDC plans to establish around five logistics hubs along the Pune Ring Road, which is expected to boost manufacturing activities along the corridor.

The infrastructure in the peripheral areas of west, northwest and north Pune has been a challenge. However, with efforts from the PMRDA is expected to ease the problem.

Pune Ring Road: Benefits

Easy connectivity

The Pune Ring Road, which will have a circular route, is expected to significantly enhance connectivity across the city. Moreover, the ring road in Pune will also be connected to major highways, further enhancing the accessibility to different areas in and around the city.

Reduced traffic congestion and pollution

Owing to rapid urbanisation and the subsequent growth of the industrial sector, Pune has often faced severe pollution. This is because of the emissions from vehicles and industries. The construction of the Pune Ring Road will reduce the highway traffic and is expected to reduce pollution in certain areas of the city, as it would reduce the concentration of vehicles there. With the construction of several underpasses and bridges, the Pune Ring Road will be able to reduce the overall air and noise pollution in the city.

Increased economic activities and real estate growth

The development of the Pune Ring Road is expected to boost economic activities in the region, generating over Rs 10,000 crore in the next four to five years. New commercial zones are expected to come up along the corridor, which will drive demand for properties and result in increase in property values.
