The project will include the cities of Pune, Nagpur, Amravati, Chandrapur, Kolhapur, Solapur, Nashik, Latur, Aurangabad and Jalgaon, according to a GR (Government Resolution) issued by the government on July 29, 2017. The GR stated that the concept would be implemented on a pilot basis, which would enable employees travelling around 7-8 kms to their work place daily, to use cycles as an alternate option of commuting.
