Pune Inner Ring Road Land Acquisition To Begin Across 14 Villages As Proposals Emerge For New Links To Pimpri-Chinchwad

Land acquisition for the proposed Pune Inner Ring Road is set to move forward after the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) finalised compensation rates for several villages along the corridor.

The project’s first phase will involve acquiring nearly 300 acres of land spread across 14 villages. The planned ring road will stretch 77.4 km and have a width of 65 metres, connecting key arterial routes including Pune–Satara Road and Ahmednagar Road.

The corridor will play a crucial role in diverting through-traffic away from city centres and reducing congestion in both Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.

To accelerate the land acquisition process, the administration plans to adopt the Direct Purchase method, which offers landowners an additional 25 per cent incentive for voluntarily transferring land required for the project.

Officials expect this approach to speed up negotiations and reduce delays often associated with compulsory acquisition procedures.

Meanwhile, Mahesh Landge, the MLA from Bhosari, has suggested additional road links to strengthen connectivity between Pimpri-Chinchwad and the proposed ring road network.

In a formal letter to the PMRDA chief executive officer, Landge highlighted two key “missing links” that he believes would improve integration between the Inner Ring Road and the region’s wider road infrastructure.

The first proposal is a 10 km link connecting Mukai Chowk (Kiwale) to Sangavade and Chandkhed, which would connect the Outer Ring Road at Chandkhed with the Inner Ring Road at Sangavade.

The route could also incorporate the recently approved Mamurdi–Sangavade bridge across the Pavana River, helping strengthen access to western parts of Pimpri-Chinchwad and the Spine Road corridor.

The second proposal suggests a 9 km route linking Chikhali, Moi, Nighoje and Kharabwadi, improving connectivity to the Talegaon–Chakan highway and northern areas of Pimpri-Chinchwad.

The plan also calls for widening the Indrayani River bridge between Chikhali and Moi to six lanes to handle future traffic demand.

Landge urged authorities to examine these proposals as part of efforts to ensure better integration between Pimpri-Chinchwad and the expanding Pune ring road network.
