Area Overview
What makes Mundhwa special
Mundhwa sits on the southern bank of the Mula-Mutha between Koregaon Park and Kharadi, and it has changed faster than almost anywhere in Pune East over the last decade.
It was an industrial and village belt — the Kirloskar works and the old Mundhwa settlement — and much of that land has been redeveloped into large riverside residential projects.
The position is the appeal: Koregaon Park is about ten minutes across the river, Kharadi ten the other way, Magarpatta and the Hadapsar IT belt just south. Retail and schooling are still catching up.

Why choose Mundhwa?
Mundhwa is the position play in Pune East — Koregaon Park ten minutes across the river, Kharadi ten the other way, Magarpatta and the Hadapsar IT belt just south, with riverside towers at prices well below any of them and yields around 3.5–4%. The trade-offs are that retail and schooling are still catching up, there is no metro or railway station, and the belt is still under active construction.
