Metro Drives Real Estate Surge in Pune: Property Rates Near Stations Soar by 35–40%
Proximity to Metro stations now a key value driver as micro-markets like Hinjewadi, Baner, and Aundh attract buyers and investors alike
As Pune’s Metro network expands across the city, real estate prices along these new corridors are experiencing a dramatic upswing. Improved connectivity, especially along the under-construction Hinjewadi–Shivajinagar Metro line, is turning surrounding localities into real estate goldmines.
According to Credai Pune, since 2021, premium home sales in areas like Hinjewadi, Wakad, Baner, Balewadi, Tathawade, and Aundh have grown by over 300%, particularly in the Rs 1–2 crore segment. The demand for high-end residences in these metro-adjacent zones reflects a clear shift toward convenience, infrastructure-driven valuation, and long-term investment planning.
Meanwhile, emerging zones in Pimpri Chinchwad such as Punawale, Ravet, Moshi, and Pimple Saudagar, are witnessing strong momentum in affordable and mid-segment housing, driven by expected Metro linkages and competitive pricing.
Overall, Pune’s property rates have appreciated by an estimated 25–30% per square foot, largely influenced by infrastructure upgrades like the Pune Metro, bigger unit sizes, and surging demand. Premium localities like Baner, Aundh, Bavdhan, and Kalyani Nagar have seen even sharper spikes, with rates climbing by 35–40%, while micro-markets like Wagholi, Moshi, and Ravet have shown consistent growth in the 20–25% range.
“Proximity to a Metro station has become a significant price differentiator,” said President of Credai Pune. Properties within 500 metres of a Metro stop are recording annual price appreciation of 10–25%, highlighting their attractiveness to both homebuyers and developers.
Rental prices have also followed the upward trend, especially in tech-focused areas like Hinjewadi, Kharadi, and across Pimpri Chinchwad, with up to 30% rise in rents and sustained investor interest.
With new Metro lines under construction and further expansion on the horizon, Pune’s Metro-connected real estate market is poised for continued growth, cementing its status as one of India’s most investment-worthy urban hubs.
