Pune's Eastern Growth Corridor: From Peripheral Patch to Powerhouse of Growth
Strategically placed in the heart of this corridor, Hadapsar Link Road has evolved from a simple bypass into a powerful growth engine, connecting key hubs like Magarpatta and Kharadi.
The Eastern Growth Corridor offers room for families and first-time buyers.
Backed by the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) and the Smart Cities Mission, the region is witnessing coordinated infrastructure investment and massive employment growth.
Our current priorities include constructing new roads and infrastructure, reducing traffic congestion, and advancing airport development.
-Murlidhar Mohol, Union Minister of State
Compared to the saturated and over-priced western suburbs, the Eastern Growth Corridor offers room for families and first-time buyers. Secondly, the future-ready infrastructure will seamlessly bridge East and West Pune, making cross-city travel faster and smoother.
A powerhouse of IT and Commercial activity
Kharadi, Phursungi and Hadapsar have become thriving IT hubs with world-class campuses such as EON IT Park, SP Infocity and Magarpatta City, driving demand for high-quality residences, retail and commercial spaces.
The path to a connected life.
The region is blessed with seamless connectivity. With the six-lane Pune–Solapur Highway (NH-65), the proposed Pune Ring Road and Metro Line 3 (Vanaz to Ramwadi), you remain close to everything that matters. The airport and railway station are also within 15 to 25 minutes.
The Maharashtra state government is set to disburse Rs. 17,000 cr. for land acquisition intended for major infrastructure projects. Close to Rs. 9000 cr. is allocated to the Pune Ring Road project. The Purandar airport project has also gained momentum with land acquisition set to be completed by October 2025.
We're proud to work alongside the Government and policymakers. Our meeting with Union Minister Mohol focused on fast-tracking Metro expansion and addressing key environmental and infrastructure issues for the city's growth.
- Ranjit Naiknavare, former President, CREDAI - Pune Metro
All urban conveniences, well within reach.
Reputed schools, colleges and hospitals, along with shopping destinations such as Amanora Mall and Phoenix Marketcity, offer an urban lifestyle backed by strong community infrastructure. It's about opportunities being created closer to where people live and focuses on less congestion, more access and better balance.
The earlier you invest, the better.
It's still early days if you look at it from an investment perspective. This presents a big opportunity as the prices are still on the rise. Upcoming projects like the Kharadi–Manjri riverfront and a proposed IT park in Manjri are enhancing long-term potential. Among integrated townships in the region, Magnacity by Kumar Realty stands out for its scale, amenities and strategic location. According to Q4 2024 data from Magicbricks and 99 acres, investor interest in Eastern Pune has increased by over 30% year-on-year.
An ambitious integrated township, Magnacity is envisioned to blend modern amenities, abundant green spaces and thoughtful master planning - all at the heart of this thriving urban axis. Over the past decade, we have witnessed how landmark projects and integrated developments have reshaped entire micro-markets. Western Pune is a clear example - projects like Megapolis in Hinjawadi became catalysts that attracted top IT parks and global companies, setting off a wave of residential, commercial, and infrastructure growth. We see the same pattern emerging in Eastern Pune. As infrastructure rapidly develops - new ring roads, metro lines and the upcoming international airport - large-scale, well-planned communities like Magnacity will play a central role in defining the skyline and quality of life.
- Manish Jain, MD, Kumar Realty
All infrastructure projects are aimed at boosting the connectivity quotient of the Eastern Growth Corridor. The goal is to make connectivity seamless at every level. The upcoming Purandar International Airport is expected to open up new possibilities for logistics, business travel and global connectivity. Each of these developments is like adding another engine to the corridor's growth.
As the skyline rises and infrastructure takes shape, those who invest early will reap the rewards of vision and timing. The city is shifting towards the east. The smart move is to follow it.

ISI could have promoted insurgency in Northeast in absence of peace pacts with rebel groups: Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore
Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma Friday said the peace accord between the Centre, the state government and Tripura-based insurgent outfits – National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) – was signed at the right time last year. Pradyot Kishore reasoned that in the absence of the peace accord, Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) could have created more trouble in the region in the wake of the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government in Bangladesh on August 5 last year. Over 328 armed insurgents surrendered after the signing of the peace accord in New Delhi. Apart from government officials and representatives of the rebel groups, Pradyot Kishore was also present during the signing of the accord. On Friday, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha said the Centre has announced Rs 250 crore to aid the transition of surrendering rebels as per the Memorandum of Settlement (MOS) with the two rebel outfits. CM Saha further said that the peace accord has led to the socio-economic improvement of marginalised groups, boosted employment opportunities and increased tourist inflow in the state, among others. The Union government has signed several peace agreements with rebel groups in the Northeast in recent years. In 2020, it signed the Bodo Accord, followed by the Karbi Peace Accord in 2021, and the peace pact with the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) in 2023, among others. Although militancy in Tripura dates back to 1967, when a small outfit called Sengkrak took up arms, the height of insurgency came in the late 1980s, when a series of insurgent groups, including the NLFT and the ATTF, became active. While most of these militant groups have largely become defunct, a small faction of the NLFT is said to be active in Bangladesh.

Govt urges BSNL circles to boost service quality, fix tower power issues
Minister of state for telecom Chandra Sekhar Pemmsani on Friday asked four BSNL circles including UP and Bihar to improve quality of service, resolve tower power issues and take other measures to boost the company's presence. In July last week, Union telecom minister Jyotiraditya Scindia had asked the state-run telecom firm to add customers and grow its mobile service business by 50 per cent in the next year. During a review meeting of BSNL of all circle and business unit heads, the minister asked each unit to increase enterprise business by 25-30 per cent and fixed line business by a minimum of 15-20 per cent. "Reviewed @BSNLCorporate performance of UP, Bihar, MP & West Bengal circles today. Emphasised improving quality of service, resolving tower power issues, timely rectification of fibre cuts, and adopting innovative, locally-suited sales & marketing strategies to strengthen BSNL's footprint," Pemmasani said on social media platform X. The government has pumped in over Rs 3 lakh in the last six years to revive the company. BSNL has posted net profit in two consecutive quarters after a gap of 18 years. The state-run firm had posted a profit of Rs 280 crore in the March quarter of FY25 against a loss of Rs 849 crore in the year-ago period. The company had posted a profit after tax of Rs 262 crore in the October-December period of the previous fiscal year. However, the company has been continuously seeing decline in customer base mainly due to service quality issues.

TVS SCS Q1 net profit soars eightfold to Rs 71 crore on InvIT, ops gains
TVS Supply Chain Solutions, one of the largest integrated supply chain solution providers in India, posted an over eightfold rise in consolidated net profit during the first quarter of 2025–26 to Rs 71.16 crore, compared to Rs 7.47 crore during the April–June quarter of FY25. The rise in profit was mainly due to improved operational performance and gains from an exceptional item following the listing of Rs 1,300 crore worth InvIT by TVS Industrial & Logistics Parks. The offering comprised a fresh issue of Rs 1,050 crore and an offer-for-sale of Rs 250 crore by an existing unitholder. The consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at Rs 2,592.31 crore, compared to Rs 2,539.39 crore in Q1 FY25, marking a year-on-year growth of 2.1 per cent. Adjusted EBITDA on a sequential basis was Rs 172.01 crore in Q1 FY26, as against Rs 156.41 crore in Q4 FY25, a growth of 10 per cent. Ravi Viswanathan, Managing Director, TVS Supply Chain Solutions Ltd, said, 'We have entered FY26 with a continued focus on performance excellence, customer-centricity, and long-term value creation. The new unified structure in Europe and the UK is driving operational synergies and enhancing service delivery through deeper customer engagement and sharper execution. Combining this with our focused business development efforts, we are confident that this alignment will position us to better meet evolving customer needs and unlock new growth opportunities.' The share of profit from TVS ILP, in which TVS SCS holds a 25.2 per cent stake, was Rs 177.23 crore in Q1 FY26. This followed the transfer of 11 million square feet of warehouse space as part of its InvIT (Infrastructure Investment Trust) listing. R Vaidhyanathan, Global Chief Financial Officer, TVS Supply Chain Solutions Ltd, said, 'We began FY26 on a steady note, with improved profit delivery and disciplined execution of our transformation initiatives. Our margin improvement reflects operational discipline across key businesses. Our strategic cost take-out initiatives are tracking well across regions. The restructuring programme in the UK and Europe is set to drive a step-change in operating leverage and long-term margin trajectory by redefining our cost baseline. We are confident of delivering progressive improvements in margin profile and bottom-line performance through the course of FY26 and beyond.' The company has consolidated its Integrated Final Mile (IFM) business into the Integrated Supply Chain Solutions (ISCS) segment across the UK and Europe to further strengthen its end-to-end solutions offering. This strategic move is aimed at meeting growing customer demand for seamless solutions. The unified structure enhances service delivery, sharpens execution, reduces duplication, and supports margin expansion.
