The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has instructed its administration to accelerate the execution of 19 crucial road development projects being built under the public-private partnership (PPP) model. The directive comes as the civic body pushes to improve urban mobility and ensure timely completion of major infrastructure upgrades across the city.
These projects collectively span 37 km, of which 12 km have already been completed. Senior PMC officials, led by Additional Commissioner Omprakash Diwate, are working to clear procedural hurdles, streamline coordination with the Transferable Development Rights (TDR) department, and initiate land acquisition processes required for road widening. The aim is to remove delays and bring uniformity in planning to ensure smooth progress.
Some of the prominent stretches under development include the Shivane–Kharadi road, Warje Rosary School to Ambedkar Chowk, and the Baner–Balewadi to Hinjewadi corridor. These routes are expected to play a key role in easing congestion and improving connectivity for thousands of daily commuters.
With rapid urban expansion placing increasing pressure on Pune’s transport network, the PMC’s renewed focus on fast-tracking construction highlights its commitment to creating a more efficient, accessible, and future-ready road infrastructure for the city.
