By GeoSquare News Desk · Published 2026-10-22

The Maharashtra government has proposed a major housing project for workers in Chakan, Pune, with an estimated investment of around ₹1,400 crore. The initiative aims to provide affordable housing for approximately 15,000 industrial workers employed in the Chakan MIDC area.
Housing for Industrial Workforce
Chakan, a key manufacturing hub near Pune, has seen rapid industrial growth, leading to a surge in demand for worker accommodation. The proposed housing scheme is expected to ease the pressure on existing residential infrastructure and improve living standards for the workforce.
December Deadline for Drainage Encroachment Removal
In a parallel move, authorities have set a December deadline to remove encroachments along drainage lines in the region. This is part of a broader infrastructure clean-up to prevent flooding and ensure better sanitation, which will also support the viability of upcoming residential projects.
For property buyers and investors, these developments signal improved infrastructure and planned growth in the Chakan micro-market, potentially boosting long-term property values in the area.
