Kharadi Shines Bright in 2025: Real Estate Boom Fueled by IT Hubs and Infrastructure
Kharadi, once Pune’s eastern backyard, has become the peak of urban development in 2025. This year sees a perfect blend of IT sector growth, transformative infrastructure projects, and unmatched rental appeal cementing its status as Maharashtra’s real estate powerhouse.
IT Corridors Drive Commercial and Residential Demand
Pune’s fastest-growing commercial hub is located in Kharadi, close to major IT parks. The East Secondary Business District (SBD) dominates Pune’s office markets, recording 1.1 million sq.ft net absorption in early 2025 mainly from BFSI institutions and flexible workspace operators. Key landmarks like EON IT Park, World Trade Centre, and multiple SEZs form the backbone of this tech-driven ecosystem.
Why professionals flock here:
- Immediate access to multinational corporate offices
- Emerging co-working spaces tailored to hybrid work models
- Proximity to Pune Airport (15-min drive) facilitates international client meetings
- Upcoming metro integration enhances connectivity
Infrastructure Overhaul Shapes Residential Appeal
Strategic investments in urban infrastructure have transformed Kharadi’s livability. Road expansions, planned flyovers, and the Metro Line 3 project position it as Pune’s most connected suburb. These upgrades directly influence property valuations prices now range from ₹8,000/sq.ft to ₹12,700/sq.ft across projects.
Key connectivity advantages:
- Frequent shuttle services to Magarpatta IT Park
- Upcoming riverside developments enhancing scenic appeal
- Improved access to Kalyani Nagar’s social hubs
- Reduced congestion through dedicated BRT corridors
Rental Markets Flourish Amid Corporate Influx
IT professionals account for the majority of rental demand, creating three-bedroom vacancies mismatched with an influx of white-collar workers. This imbalance favors property owners through:
- High rental yields: 4-6% annually for 2BHK units
- Secondary home purchases near workplace hubs
- Premium pricing for projects near EON IT Park
- Growing interest in plotted developments
Investment Hotspots to Watch
Mittal Group’s Sun Emerald and other premium developments exemplify Kharadi’s residential potential. Investors should focus on locations near:
- Phase-3 Metro stations along undertaking routes
- SEZ zones emerging in peripheral areas
- Occupied commercial buildings with township facilities
- Riverfront developments under current planning phases
Future Outlook
Infrastructure projects like the Airport-Kharadi Metro Line and proposed Eastern Expressway will sustain growth beyond 2025. With IT-sector expansion generating consistent employment, Kharadi remains poised to lead Pune’s real estate markets through this decade.
