As Pune’s Metro infrastructure continues to expand and improve connectivity, the city’s real estate market is witnessing a significant upswing. According to data from the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) Pune, residential property prices along the under-construction Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar Metro corridor and other proposed Metro-connected zones have surged sharply, driven by investor interest, end-user demand, and infrastructure upgrades.
Micro-markets such as Hinjewadi, Wakad, Baner, Balewadi, Tathawade, and Aundh, which are strategically aligned with the new Metro line, have seen a 300% increase in premium home sales in the Rs 1–2 crore range since 2021. Similarly, zones like Punawale, Ravet, Moshi, and Pimple Saudagar in Pimpri Chinchwad are registering strong growth in affordable and mid-segment housing projects.
“Property rates in Pune have risen by 25–30% per square foot, driven by strong demand, growing unit sizes, and improved infrastructure like the Pune Metro,” said Manish Jain, president of CREDAI Pune. He further noted that upscale areas such as Baner, Aundh, Kalyani Nagar, and Bavdhan have witnessed sharper price hikes of 35-40%, while developing regions such as Moshi, Wagholi, and Ravet are seeing steady appreciation of 20–25%.
Proximity to Metro stations is now seen as a key driver of property value. “Homes within 500 metres of Metro stations have appreciated 10–25% annually, leading to compound growth of 25-80% over the past three years depending on location and construction stage,” explained Aakash Agarwal, Managing Director of Krisala Developers.
Real estate experts cite notable growth in locations such as Hadapsar, Vanaz, and Wagholi, in addition to Hinjewadi. Sachin Bhandari, Executive Director and CEO of VTP Realty, highlighted how his firm had invested in Mahalunge years before the Metro line and is now reaping the benefits of rising real estate value following enhanced connectivity. “We are now exploring more projects around the Metro route,” he added.
The impact is also being reflected in rental values, which have risen significantly in high-demand areas. Kedar Shirke, a resident of Undri who invested in a property in Kharadi, shared that his rental income has seen a significant spike over the past year.
According to Saurabh Garg, co-founder and Chief Business Officer of NoBroker, property prices in areas like Bhosari, Dapodi, Bopodi, Vanaz, Kalyani Nagar, and Ramwadi have risen by 28–35% since 2021–22. Rentals have increased by nearly 30% over the same period.
Investor confidence is also high. Mumbai resident Dushyant Singh, who invested in the Pimpri Chinchwad region, saw 15–20% appreciation in just a year. “The Metro corridor was the key reason for my decision. The returns have been excellent,” he said.
Commercial developers are also responding to this boom. Kapil Gandhi, MD of Sigma One Universal, revealed plans for a 1 million sq. ft. mixed-use project near the proposed Balewadi Metro station, comprising mid-size apartments, retail, and co-living spaces. “We are targeting young professionals in IT, automobile, and hospitality industries who seek convenience and connectivity,” he said.
Supporting this trend, Ritesh Mehta, Senior Director at JLL, confirmed that demand along the Metro routes has surged from both end-users and investors, especially where connectivity has improved or is expected soon. JLL data shows that average prices in Kharadi have jumped from Rs 6,000–7,000 per sq. ft. to Rs 8,000–9,500, while Shivajinagar prices have increased from Rs 11,000–12,000 to Rs 13,500–15,000 per sq. ft.
As new Metro lines come up and connectivity continues to strengthen, Pune’s real estate sector is poised for further growth, making Metro-adjacent locations hotspots for both investors and homebuyers.
