PMRDA To Accelerate Pune’s Infrastructure Overhaul With 248 Km Cement Concrete Road Network

The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has fast-tracked a major infrastructure upgrade under its newly finalised structural plan, anchoring the next phase of Pune’s expansion on durable, long-lasting cement concrete (CC) roads.

According to Pune Pulse report, as part of this renewed thrust, scrutiny of tenders for constructing 248 km of CC roads is currently underway.

This move brings an effort to modernise Pune’s transport backbone while supporting its rapidly growing industrial and residential clusters.

Following the annulment of the earlier draft development plan, PMRDA began implementing its structural roadmap, focusing on building resilient internal roads, efficient water supply networks, robust drainage systems, and reliable power infrastructure.

Officials said the latest tender process covers not only highways but also key link roads connecting villages, ensuring better last-mile connectivity across the region.

Earlier tenders for asphalt roads were scrapped after Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directed that all future roads under PMRDA’s jurisdiction be built using cement concrete.

The change aims to ensure durability, reduce maintenance costs, and withstand the city’s varied weather conditions.

The plan also includes widening existing stretches and constructing new links in fast-developing industrial and urban hubs such as Hinjawadi, Chakan, Maan, and Talegaon, areas that have seen heavy congestion due to rapid population and vehicle growth.

Land acquisition proposals for the proposed ring road and national highway linkages have already been submitted to the district administration for clearance.

Though several projects had stalled after the earlier plan’s cancellation, the finalisation of the new structural blueprint has reignited implementation efforts.
