As Hinjawadi continues to face waterlogging and traffic woes along with other infrastructure issues, residents of the area have listed 11 demands, including easing of traffic, clear administration, and road repairs.

The Hinjawadi IT Park (Pune) Professional Commuters and Residents demand:

  • Clear administration accountability and ownership

  • Effective complaint management system to report

  • Repair and regular maintenance of roads, pavements, and street lights

  • Better traffic management solutions via lanes, signals, rules, fines, signages, and personnel

  • Repair and regular maintenance of drainage and sewage systems

  • Curb air and water pollution by acting on related construction activities

  • Cleaning of roads and regular garbage pickup and proper disposal

  • Remove illegal encroachments and construction on roads and nearby areas

  • Provide adequate 24x7 water and electricity supply

  • Identify and remove illegal migrants from the area

  • Better e-bus connectivity along with repair and regular maintenance of bus stops

  • Hinjawadi, often dubbed the “Silicon Valley of Maharashtra,” is facing persistent problems in the form of poor connectivity, infrastructure negligence and lack of basic necessities. The fragmented governance structure of Hinjawadi fails to enforce accountability among the authorities responsible for poor waste management, inadequate water supply, crumbling roads and severe traffic congestion. The demand for inclusion of Hinjawadi into either the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) or the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is gaining momentum after several users on X (formerly Twitter) have posted about the same.

    Residents and politicians assert that the inclusion of Hinjawadi into a municipal corporation will not only improve infrastructure but will also amplify its appeal as a global IT destination. 

    Hinjawadi is governed by the Hinjawadi Gram Panchayat, but roads leading to it are maintained by different entities - PMC up to Madhuban Chowk, MIDC for the Baner-Mahalunge stretch, PCMC, and the Public Works Department.
