Pune: Hadapsar Industrial Estate Faces Severe Infrastructure Issues; PMC Assures Resolution Within Four Months
Pune, November 3, 2025: Entrepreneurs at the Hadapsar Industrial Estate, spread over 350 acres, are struggling with a host of civic problems — from water scarcity to poor waste management. To address these long-pending grievances, Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) Additional Commissioner Prithviraj B. P. recently inspected the area and assured that all major issues would be resolved within the next four months.
Hadapsar is Pune’s first officially recognized industrial estate, housing nearly 150 companies that collectively contribute around ₹140 crore in annual taxes to the PMC. Despite this significant contribution, industries here have been deprived of basic civic amenities such as proper roads, streetlights, and adequate drinking water supply.
Local entrepreneurs allege that PMC’s negligence has led to several companies relocating to other areas. They have demanded immediate and concrete measures to prevent further industrial decline.
During his visit, Additional Commissioner Prithviraj B. P. interacted with members of the Hadapsar Industrial Association, including Chairman Jaysing Sampat, Vikram Salunkhe, Anand Bhora, Ramesh Oswal, and Swagat Jagtap, as well as Assistant Commissioners Kunal Dhumal (Dhole Patil ward), Amol Pawar (Wanawadi), and Ravi Khandare (Hadapsar).
The inspection also revealed that contaminated water from the industrial waste depot was being discharged into the nearby canal, raising environmental and health concerns. The Additional Commissioner has ordered an immediate inquiry into the matter.
Residents from nearby areas — including Magarpatta City, Sopan Baug, and BT Kawade Road — joined the officials during the inspection to share their grievances.
Entrepreneurs highlighted several persistent issues: pothole-ridden roads, lack of waste disposal facilities, illegal encroachments by eateries, unauthorized dumping of debris, and foul odor from untreated waste.
“We have inspected the Hadapsar Industrial Estate and held discussions with local entrepreneurs and residents. Their issues will be prioritized and resolved within four months,” assured Additional Commissioner Prithviraj B. P.
