Area Overview
What makes Moshi special
Moshi sits on the Pune–Nashik highway north of Bhosari, and it is where most of the PCMC belt’s new residential supply has gone over the last decade.
The Pimpri Chinchwad International Exhibition Centre is here, and the highway position links it directly to the Chakan auto belt about fifteen kilometres north.
It is a launch-driven market. Large gated projects line the highway and the Moshi–Alandi road, with social infrastructure still catching up behind them.

Why choose Moshi?
Moshi offers the most new gated supply in the PCMC belt at some of its lowest prices, with the Nashik highway on the doorstep, the exhibition centre nearby, Chakan twenty minutes north and the airport about forty-five minutes. Yields run 4.5–5%. The trade-offs are that social infrastructure lags the housing badly, there is no hospital of scale, no rail or metro, and Hinjewadi is a fifty-minute drive.
