Godrej Properties, a top real estate developer in India, has made a big move in the Pune real estate market through the acquisition of a 14-acre land parcel in Pune's Kharadi-Wagholi corridor. Godrej Properties is planning to build a modern group housing project on the land as part of its plans to make an impact in high demand micro-markets across India.
Details of the Acquisition
From a location perspective, the recently acquired plot by Godrej Properties is in the Kharadi-Wagholi micro-market, which is not only an expanding residential location but also a vibrant commercial area with a fair amount of retail and hospitality demand factors. The planned development is expected to total about 3.7 million square feet with a total estimated revenue potential of ₹4,200 crore. While the company has not provided an amount for the acquisition investment amount, the size and scope of the proposed project should set aggressive expectations for the region.
Not only is the location in close proximity to important commercial districts, it is very good proximity to schools, hospitals, malls, and large brands of hotels attracting homebuyers. Furthermore, the location is close to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj International Airport with travel times likely being very reasonable.
Strategic Importance of the Kharadi-Wagholi Corridor
The Kharadi-Wagholi corridor has emerged as one of Pune’s most sought-after real estate destinations. Several factors contribute to its growing popularity:
- Proximity to IT Hubs: The region is close to major IT and business parks, attracting professionals seeking quality residential spaces.
- Enhanced Social Infrastructure: The area boasts excellent amenities, including schools, healthcare facilities, shopping malls, and entertainment centers.
- Improved Connectivity: With better roads and transportation networks, commuting within Pune and to nearby cities has become more convenient.
The corridor is already home to several reputed developers, including Kolte Patil Developers, GERA, and Mahindra Lifespaces, who have contributed to its transformation into a high-growth residential market.

Comments from Godrej Properties
Gaurav Pandey, the Managing Director and CEO of Godrej Properties, shared his excitement about the acquisition, stating,
"Kharadi-Wagholi is one of the most sought-after destinations within Pune, and we are pleased to formally announce our entry into this micro-market. This significantly strengthens our presence in Pune and aligns with our strategy of increasing our presence across important micro-markets in India. We will strive to deliver a high-quality development that provides long-term value to its residents."
The company’s commitment to delivering quality luxury projects is in line with the aspirations of homebuyers looking for a mix of luxury, convenience and value.
Overview of Pune’s Real Estate Market
The Pune real estate market has shown some robustness even though housing sales softened in 2024. In April 2024 Mumbai, property registrations in Pune held up slightly increasing by 1% on a year-to-year basis from 14,244 in April 2024 to 14,421 in April 2025, according to the Maharashtra Inspector General of Registration (IGR).
However, stamp duty collections fell by 3%, from ₹566 crore in April 2024 to ₹547 crore in April 2025 moving transaction value down slightly. Seattle-based real estate consultancy Knight Frank India expects Pune’s housing market to be stable in 2025.
Implications of the Acquisition
This acquisition reinforces Godrej Properties’ strategic focus on tapping into high-growth corridors like Kharadi-Wagholi. Backed by demand from Pune’s professional workforce and increasing preference for organized living spaces, the project is poised to make a significant contribution to the region’s real estate landscape.
Conclusion
Godrej Properties now appears to have a strategic positioning in the evolving Pune real estate sector with its latest acquisition in the Kharadi-Wagholi corridor. The acquisition's scale and the corridor's strategic location will certainly change the previously established residential living standards in the Kharadi-Wagholi corridor of Pune. The ongoing influx of professional talent and increases in real estate investments into Pune have created significant disruptions in demand for quality housing - to which this development addresses a necessity to fill the gap.
This ambitious project reflects the commitment of Godrej Properties towards high standards of delivery, innovation, purpose and ultimately, excellence in the Indian real estate sector.
