Pune: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has approved a ₹426.54-crore infrastructure plan for Hinjawadi, with construction beginning in December. The plan seeks to address traffic congestion, poor roads, drainage, power supply, and civic amenities in the growing IT hub. Hinjawadi experiences heavy traffic as around 500,000 people commute daily to the area.
The plan includes upgrading six major roads, improving drainage, footpaths, and streetlights, and expanding waste management. The government will also deploy 100 Maharashtra Security Force personnel to manage traffic and coordinate with existing agencies. Additionally, Chakan has been allocated a ₹1,400-crore infrastructure plan, focusing on roads, storm-water drainage, public amenities, and a 100 MVA power substation.
Chakan's encroachments along 78 km of natural streams have been cleared, with the remaining work set to be completed by June 2027.
