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 Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation is overseeing the implementation of the project.
As per Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) officials, the Pune ring road project is expected to be completed by December 2026. In November 2022, the state cabinet had given approval to the MSRDC to raise a loan of Rs 35,629 crore to acquire land for three major road infrastructure projects in the state from Housing Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO). Of these three projects, the Pune ring road project will be allotted about Rs 11,000 crore for land acquisition from 83 villages in Pune district.
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.
The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) will start the development work on the 32-km Pune ring road section from Chakan to Nagar Road after the monsoon, according to the PMRDA officials. The work will be carried out in phases.
Pune Ring Road construction status
The state government has allocated a budget of Rs 10,519 crore for land acquisition for Pune outer ring road project during the interim budget presented by Maharashtra deputy chief minister and finance minister Ajit Pawar on February 27, 2024, according to media reports. As per reports, land acquisition for the Pune Ring Road’s western alignment is close to completion and construction work is expected to begin once the land acquisition is completed.
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 will start soon. The district collector’s office has completed a joint survey and will proceed with land valuation. PMRDA has allocated Rs 113 crore for land acquisition with 30% of the amount deposited with the collector’s office for the first phase.

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. Once the road is operational, these micro-markets are likely to come up as housing hubs, with easy connectivity across the city. This could also cool down property prices in the main hubs such as Kalyani Nagar, Koregaon Park, Viman Nagar, Magarpatta, etc. Apart from this, the Ring Road will connect six major highways passing through the city:
- Pune-Bengaluru Highway (NH-48)
- Pune-Nashik Highway (NH-60)
- Pune-Mumbai Highway (NH-48)
- Pune-Solapur Highway (NH-65)
- Pune-Ahmednagar Highway (NH-753F)
- Pune-Saswad-Palkhi Marg (NH-965)
The Pune district authorities proposed two ring roads to help commuters reach the national highway routes quickly. The 173-km Pune ring road is being implemented by MSRDC and the other will be implemented by the PMRDA.
The Ring Road within the PMRDA limits will pass through nine talukas including Maval, Khed, Shirur, Haveli, Daund, Purandar, Bhor, Velhe and Mulshi.

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.
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.

The PMRDA is planning to acquire 115 hectares in 13 villages and has initiated the land acquisition process.

The 83-km inner ring road will connect Pune-Satara Road with Ahmednagar Road and include 42 connecting roads, 17 bridges and 10 tunnels. A 5-metre-wide space will be reserved for metro tracks. The first phase, from Solu to Wadgaon Shinde, is expected to ease congestion on Ahmednagar Road. The second ring road will cover around 1,301 survey numbers across 44 villages.
The PMRDA has started land acquisition for a 6.5-km section from Alandi to Wagholi on Ahmednagar Road. The 13 villages include Wadachi Wadi, Bhilarewadi, Pisoli, Yewalewadi, Mangdewadi, Gujar-Nimbalkarwadi, Jambhulwadi, Ambegaon Khurd, Nirgudi, Kadamwakvasti, Solu, and Vadgaon Shinde.
