The long-awaited Pune Ring Road project, costing ₹42,711 crore and stretching 172 km, has officially moved from planning to construction. The massive project aims to reduce traffic inside the city and boost development around the outskirts.

According to tweet of MLA Mahesh Landge, construction has already started in nine key areas: Khadakwasla, Mulshi, Chakan, Hinjewadi, Wadebolhai, Sinhagad, Urse, and Sortapwadi. Early work includes soil filling, bridge building, and leveling the ground.

So far, nearly 1,740 hectares of land have been acquired. Land acquisition is 99% complete in the western part and 98% in the eastern part, removing major hurdles for construction. Work has been given to nine construction companies, and each has been given a deadline of 30 months. If they delay the work, they will have to pay penalties.

The Pune Inner Ring Road is not just meant to reduce traffic; it also plays a major role in reducing urban pollution and easing pressure on city roads. By diverting heavy vehicles outside the city, the project aims to improve transport efficiency.

It will also support Pune’s growing infrastructure needs and encourage planned development in surrounding areas. One of the main goals is to create circular connectivity between important locations like Lohegaon Airport, Hinjewadi IT Park, and Chakan MIDC, helping link economic and transport hubs more effectively.
