[ecis2016.org] Hinjewadi has become a magnet for home buyers in Pune, despite the lack of sufficient public transport, with Puneiites hoping that the Pune Metro will boost infrastructure in the area
Pune’s image, as a hub for employment and investments, has served to attract people from all over the country, owing to which its population has steadily increased, to reach 67 lakhs in 2018. To accommodate this growing population, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) brought 11 new villages within its fold. Currently, 4.5 lakh sq ft of new construction, is coming up in these newly merged zones. Among these zones, Hinjewadi in west Pune, has emerged as a sought-after location, reveals data with ecis2016.org.

Connectivity to Hinjewadi
The Hinjewadi IT Park has over 165 firms in its three phases and employs over two lakh employees. These people form a large base of potential property seekers, who would like to stay close to their workplace. Sakshi Vasudeva, who is employed with an IT major in Hinjewadi says, “After long hours at work, it does not feel nice, to travel a long way to be with family. I wanted to keep travel to a minimum and thus, settled for a 2BHK unit here. The locality has its own pros and cons but at the end of the day, it is a relatively greener area and is close to my workplace.”
Kishor Pate, chairman and MD, Amit Enterprises Housing Ltd says, “While properties in and around the IT hubs tend to be too expensive for the bulk of end-users and investors, areas that are well-connected to these employment hubs and also have lower property prices, are very hot tickets indeed. This suburb is driven by Pune’s burgeoning IT/ITeS sector, which has proved to be the single-largest booster for residential and commercial real estate in the city.”
