Maharashtra Clears Land for New IT Park Near Pune Airport

12 Sep 2025 CW Team

The Maharashtra government has taken steps to establish a new IT park in Purandar taluka, close to the proposed Pune International Airport and logistics hub.

Industry Minister Uday Samant has instructed officials to begin land acquisition for the project. Acting on his directive, the industry department has formally requested the revenue department to transfer government-owned land in Dive, Chambali, and Kodit villages.

Shiv Sena MLA Vijay Shivthare, who has long advocated for the project, said, “The state has approved the IT park at Purandar and directed that 1,500 acres of government land in these villages be allocated for the project. This will boost local infrastructure and help reduce traffic congestion at Hinjewadi.”

While some land parcels were initially rejected, officials have now cleared the designated areas.

Hinjewadi IT Park is facing infrastructure bottlenecks and saturation. The government believes the new park near Pune will relieve pressure on the existing hub and discourage companies from relocating outside Maharashtra.

Last month, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar visited Hinjewadi, urging the administration to expedite road widening and improve infrastructure, noting that companies were considering relocation due to delays.

Industry department officials confirmed that, following the minister’s instructions, meetings have been held and a formal request submitted to the revenue department. Since the land is government-owned, acquisition is expected to proceed smoothly.
