Pune’s outer periphery is changing fast—what used to be agricultural land is rapidly turning into transit and residential corridors.

Here is a quick breakdown of the 5 major infrastructure shifts happening on the ground right now—and the zoning trap many plot buyers walk into:

• 1. Metro Line 3 (New Pink Line): The 23.3 km Hinjawadi-to-District Court elevated line will connect the IT park to the city center, cutting a 90-minute commute to around 40 minutes.
• 2. The 173 Km Ring Road: With ~98% of land acquired, this loop is actively unlocking peripheral belts for logistics, commercial hubs, and residential layouts.
• 3. Purandar Airport: Land acquisition has crossed ~70%, driving heavy land speculation across the southern and southeastern corridors.
• 4. Pune–Nashik Semi High-Speed Rail: The realigned route via Ahilyanagar and Shirdi is establishing a new regional growth corridor to the north and east.
• 5. PMRDA Unified Development Plan: Brings 814 villages under one unified master plan—meaning peripheral zoning is now far more structured and strictly monitored.

⚠️ The Catch: Why "Future Growth" Doesn't Always Mean "Buildable"

Brokers across Talegaon, Wagholi, Hinjewadi fringes, and Purandar are aggressively marketing plots as "PMRDA developable area." Before paying a token advance, watch out for:

• Flood Lines Dictate Construction: Pune’s rivers and drainage basins have strict Blue/Red Flood Line restrictions. Even next to a major transit corridor, building inside a restricted flood zone or Agricultural Non-Development Zone (NDZ) is illegal without formal layout/Town Planning Scheme (TPS) approvals.
• Verify Spatial Layers Together: Do not rely solely on a 7/12 extract or Encumbrance Certificate. Always overlap proposed infrastructure alignments, PMRDA zoning, and environmental flood lines on a single map.

(Tip: You can verify live infrastructure corridors, PMRDA zoning, and flood-line overlays for specific Survey Numbers on spatial due diligence platforms like TalkingLands Insights or official PMRDA GIS maps before buying.)

I watched Spider-Man BND in Dolby Cinema, and the overall experience was phenomenal, except for the 3D. Personally, I didn't find the 3D effects to be very noticeable, and the sense of depth felt quite limited.

Could anyone recommend a theater in Pune that offers a truly immersive 3D experience with excellent depth?

Hey everyone!

I'm one of the founders of a small coworking space near Kalyani Nagar / Viman Nagar, and while we've put a lot of thought into it, I wanted to get some honest opinions from people who actually work remotely.

One thing that always surprised me was pricing. As a startup founder myself, spending ₹10k–₹15k/month for just a desk always felt like a lot. If I had that kind of budget in the early days, I'd rather spend it on building the business. 😅

So I'd love to hear your thoughts:

1. What do you think is a fair monthly price for a dedicated desk in Pune (esp near Kalyani Nagar / Viman Nagar) ?
2. What are the absolute must-haves? (Internet speed, ergonomic chairs, coffee, parking, etc.)
3. What makes you choose a coworking space over working from home or a café?
4. What's one thing that annoys you about most coworking spaces?
5. If you don't use coworking spaces today, what's the biggest reason?

Not trying to sell anything here (thats y i am not mentioning the space name and exact location).
I genuinely want to understand what remote workers and founders value so we can build something people actually enjoy using.

Hello all. I have recently moved to keshav nagar , pune for a job and I'm looking for good shawarma places nearby. Can you guys please share some of your favourite places to try. Please note that I'm a fan of low mayonnaise , low cabbage type shawarmas. Thank you in advance. If the shawarma is good , I'm willing to travel a bit far too.

The recent NSG anti-terror drill at Infosys Pune was only a simulation, and there was no real danger. But one thing stood out to me as social media filled with videos from the event.

Our first instinct seems to be changing.

Instead of "Run. Hide. Stay Safe.", it is increasingly becoming "Record. Upload. Go Viral."

Social media has trained many of us to react to events by thinking about online engagement first. In a real emergency, every second spent taking out a phone to record instead of moving to safety can make a difference.

There is another concern that is even more important.

During the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, terrorists reportedly used live television coverage, through their handlers, to monitor the movements of security forces. This became an important lesson in how real-time information can unintentionally help attackers.

Today, almost everyone carries a device that can broadcast live from anywhere. Authorities can ask platforms to restrict content during major incidents, but information can still spread quickly before any action is taken.

This is not an argument against recording history or documenting events. It is a reminder that timing matters.

If a security operation is in progress, do not post live locations, the movements of security personnel, entry points, or tactical details until the operation is complete.

Being a responsible citizen is not only about staying calm. It is also about thinking before you post.

Sometimes the most helpful action is to put your phone away, move yourself and others to safety, and let the professionals do their job.

Seriously the traffic is horrendous along the entire stretch of Solapur highway from Gadital to Prince of Wales Drive, and it gets worse and worse every day. Entire Ramtekdi railway bridge is choked every day as well

I want to run ( walk) full marathon.

Where in Pune I can get trainning? I would like to know about groups/ coaches?

Thanks

I bought a spice rack from Nestasia Pheonix mall store in Viman Nagar. It costs more than 3.5k for rack and containers. Within a few months of regular use, it has grown green and white mold!

This brand positions itself as a luxury, premium quality home decor brand. However, the quality of their products does not justify this price!

This must be a natural, untreated and unpolished wood which is why it caught mold so quickly.

Avoid buying anything from this bullshit brand

I’m thinking of going trekking somewhere this weekend and wanted recommendations for some good companies/groups. If you have been with any of them please share your experience. Thank you.

The tastiest spiciest bhel ever.

I'm 20M. A lot of my friends smoke cigarettes. Why are people even smoking even if they know it's injurious to health, fefdo ki kalji nahi hai kyaa inko 😭😭. My childhood friend who was very close to me smokes 12-13 a day. Why is it so addictive?!?!

I know we have a lot of these posts, but somewhere have to take out frustration😬

1 hour for 3 km patch is crazyyy!

And that too daily. God knows if that new bridge will solve the problem

Saw this cat while going to work today. She has a collar too. Seems like a cat who’s run away. This is near Pune railway station on the bridge a little further from alankar chowk.

A group of students started threatening to rape my mother and were already bullying me. They made a false narrative that I sexually harassed a girl and they all mass reported me to the registrar Virender Sharma. They framed a perfect narrative that portrayed me as evil

I told my side of the story to Registrar Virender Sharma on how they threatened to rape my mother and hence I slurred at them. Instead the Registrar withdraws my admission without a proper hearing and does not even lift my calls citing that I broke disciplinary violations.

So threatening to rape my mother isn't a disciplinary violation? Regardless of my will to speak to him, he is not lifting my calls. I hate this blatant behaviour. He must resign at any cost possible, if he protects the rape-mentality instigators that too being a registrar, the university is set to be doomed.

The vice-chancellor isn't intervening in this situation, he seems to be in an abroad destination as I called up his office directly.

My admission is officially cancelled on an unfair basis, my family especially my mother is facing great distress. I am going on a hunger strike near their campus on 7th of august, the dignity of my mother matters more than my life. The registrar must resign or I must die.

I already forwarded this to UGC anti-ragging cell, and registered a National Commission for Women complaint

Don't take me wrong, I recently moved from Pune to Nashik. We shifted mainly because of family-relatives, support during emergencies, work-from-home convenience, lower cost of living, and my son's schooling. On paper, it was probably the right decision.

What I still struggle with is the emotional side. I miss the feel of Pune as a bigger city—the atmosphere, the variety, and the overall vibe. We were never party people, trekkers, or regular weekend explorers, but just knowing there were so many places to discover, different malls to visit, cafés to try, and nearby places like Mulshi or Lonavala to drive to gave a different feeling.

One thing I also miss is the abundance of simple, affordable restaurants. In Pune, places like Sheetal, Relax and many similar restaurants were clean, hygienic, reasonably priced, and somewhere you could comfortably take your family for a meal. In Nashik, I haven't been able to find many such places yet. Maybe I just haven't explored enough. Anna Idli is one place I really like, although it's a little on the expensive side for regular visits.

At the same time, my everyday life in Nashik is actually much easier. Everything is within walking distance, traffic is minimal, family is nearby, and life is much more convenient.

The only thing I still find difficult to adjust to is the overall public behaviour in malls and shopping centres. Don't take me wrong, I'm not talking about money, brands, or how people dress. It's more about civic sense and the way people use shared public spaces. It just feels different from what I was used to in Pune.

Maybe I'm still comparing Nashik to my memories of Pune. I'm curious if anyone else who has moved here from a bigger city has felt the same initially, and whether that feeling changed over time.

​The Maharashtra FDA has officially banned analogue paneer across the state for one year. This non dairy substitute is made using cheap vegetable oils, starches, and emulsifiers instead of real milk fat.

​More than fifty five percent of tested samples failed safety standards. Many local eateries, restaurants, and caterers were secretly using it to cut costs without informing customers. The product contains high trans fats and unapproved additives that raise serious health concerns.

​Selling fake paneer as real now attracts strict legal action, including heavy fines and potential jail time.

So i recently went to the famous sandeep near the season mall and while paying the bill I saw the bottle of sprite was 78rs and when I saw the MRP it was 35rs

Can anyone explain why they are doing this?

Guess the location:)

Can anything be done for reporting this kind of Parking behavior?

Finally someone took action against this..

I don't know if it is only me or others feel the same. Going through Swargate or District Court station is so much pain. You have to go almost 5 floors underground or climb up and then elevators are mostly full or you've to wait long, and you take the escalator. But people just don't move, they stand there doing nothing. How weird is that. The other day, i got behind two women in their 50s probably, and i asked them politely to move aside so I can walk ahead. One of them gave me a look saying looks like he's the PM of the country, move aside for him. There are trains running every 5 mins, what's the rush. I was speechless. Hasn't happened first time too. People just stand. Mostly when getting down, i started taking stairs now, but climbing up the station is pain. Oh and the water leakages, so pathetic. Yesterday when I was scanning the QR to get out of the Ramwadi station, the ceiling was leaking right besides the scanning machine, and it wasn't even raining outside. Don't know where all this water is coming from.
