Originating from Bommanal in Karnataka’s Athani Taluk, the expressway will pass through key districts such as Belagavi, Bagalkot, and Jamakhandi. It will then enter Maharashtra at Kanjle, linking to the proposed Pune Ring Road, and continue through major districts including Sangli, Satara, and Pune. The new corridor is already generating momentum in the real estate sector. Cities such as Kolhapur, Satara, and Bagalkot are witnessing rising demand for both residential and commercial spaces.
According to market analysts at Magic Bricks, infrastructure investments along the route are attracting interest from developers and investors aiming to capitalise on improved accessibility and growth prospects. Experts suggest the expressway will not only decongest existing highways but also strengthen trade corridors connecting Mumbai, Gujarat, Pune, and the southern states.
By enhancing transport efficiency, it is expected to support regional economic integration and unlock development in drought-prone and underdeveloped areas of western Maharashtra and northern Karnataka. In particular, the project is poised to uplift semi-urban and rural zones that have historically lagged in connectivity and investment. The resulting infrastructure push is likely to generate jobs, improve logistics, and create sustainable long-term growth in the region.
As construction progresses, the Pune-Bengaluru Expressway stands out as a landmark project in India’s highway development plans. It promises to reshape economic patterns, bringing new energy to underutilised regions while establishing a faster, more reliable link between two major southern cities.
