The PMC plan to complete the 50-metre Katraj–Kondhwa road by March 2027 faces delays due to pending land acquisition for 10 properties. Land acquisition proposal sent to government but property measurement not yet completed. Measurement, award preparation and administrative procedures expected to take another 3-4 months. Civic body can take possession only after these procedures complete.

Around 60% of service road work completed. PMC road department plans to finish remaining work within a month, except at locations where properties at Sundarban and Maulinagar Chowk create obstacles.

Properties in Sundarban area and four structures at Maulinagar Chowk yet to be cleared. These required for proposed grade separator and bridge works.

Administration has not provided clear timeline for completing acquisition, taking possession and handing over sites for construction.

Chief Land Acquisition Officer Shweta Darunkar stated proposal received from District Collector's Office and correspondence underway. Once notices issued and measurement completed, possession will be taken immediately.

Completion of service road expected to reduce traffic pressure on main Katraj–Kondhwa road and improve movement for local residents.

The transfer of 29 acres and 15 gunthas of reserved forest land from Richie Rich Cooperative Housing Society in Kondhwa Budruk will be completed within a month, according to Pune district collector Jitendra.

The 3.5-km Katraj-Kondhwa Road is to be widened to 50 metres by March 2027 and 84 metres by March 2028. The Katraj Chowk flyover linking the road to the Bangalore-Mumbai bypass is due by December 2026, enabling traffic from the Pune-Solapur highway to reach the Pune-Mumbai and Pune-Satara highways without crossing city limits.

PMC and NHAI identified 10 additional properties for acquisition. Most service-road work is complete, but electric poles must be removed before the grade-separator bridge can proceed. PMC also plans a 9-km extension from Khadi Machine Chowk to Wadki Chowk, linking the Mumbai-Satara and Solapur highways. The widening faced land-acquisition delays; PMC’s acquisition process took more than 28 years and cost Rs 21 crore.

A ₹1,826-crore infrastructure package for Chakan and Hinjewadi has in-principle approval, with work expected to begin in December. The Pune Economic Region Growth Hub roadmap identifies 58 projects requiring ₹9 lakh crore–₹10 lakh crore by 2036 across Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad and the metropolitan region. Plans include a 250-km Metro network, 11 railway projects, 13 major roads, 12,000–14,000 buses and six multimodal hubs. The region has more than 500 GCCs; Maharashtra’s GCC Policy 2025 targets about 400 more centres and four lakh skilled jobs statewide. The roadmap targets 15–20 lakh regional jobs.

Metro proposals include the 23-km Hinjewadi–Shivajinagar Line 3, with 17 stations; a 20-km Shivajinagar–Yewalewadi extension and Undri branch; and links serving Khadakwasla, Hadapsar, Swargate, Kharadi, Loni Kalbhor, Saswad and the Purandar airport zone. The 83.12-km Inner Ring Road and 35-km elevated HCMTR are planned. Road corridors include Kharadi–Shirur (53.4 km), Talegaon–Chakan–Shikrapur (53.2 km) and Hadapsar–Yavat. Chakan’s package includes 75 km of road works, 38 km of drainage and more buses. Growth areas include Hinjewadi, Wakad, Ravet, Kiwale, Mahalunge, Kharadi, Wagholi, Chakan, Kondhwa, NIBM, Undri and Yewalewadi.

The Katraj flyover is expected to be ready by December 2026, connecting Pune to national highways. The Pune civic body and NHAI have accelerated work on the long-pending Katraj-Kondhwa road, with full road widening scheduled for completion by March 2027.
