Rustomjee Group To Launch Township Projects On 100 Acres In Pune

Rustomjee Group is preparing to enter the Pune property market with large-scale township developments, marking a strategic expansion beyond its traditional stronghold in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The firm is currently evaluating two prime land parcels spanning nearly 100 acres in Pune for integrated township projects, which are likely to be executed through a joint development model.

According to officials from the group, the company’s entry into Pune reflects its long-term plan to scale operations in high-demand urban growth centres. While formal launch timelines are yet to be announced, the group expects to firm up its Pune projects in the coming year, following the rollout of its first project in Nagpur—a market it forayed into recently. Rustomjee’s proposed projects in Pune will likely mirror its established blueprint of high-density, community-centric developments that combine residential, commercial, and social infrastructure. The company is well recognised for such township-style projects across MMR, particularly in mid to premium segments.

While its focus remains rooted in MMR, where the group has several redevelopment and greenfield projects underway, the move to Pune aligns with growing market appetite in tier-one and emerging tier-two cities. The Pune metropolitan area, with its expanding IT corridor, robust manufacturing base, and rising aspirational housing demand, presents favourable conditions for township formats that cater to evolving urban lifestyles. In recent months, the company has launched three major redevelopment projects in Mumbai—in GTB Nagar, Swarganga CHSL, and the Lokhandwala Cluster—adding over 3.25 million sq ft of saleable area with a gross development value (GDV) exceeding ₹7,700 crore. These are part of a larger pipeline of 26 upcoming projects totalling approximately 23.79 million sq ft, with over 60% of them positioned in the ₹1 crore to ₹7 crore segment—considered a high-demand price band in the Mumbai real estate ecosystem.

Real estate experts note that while affordable housing faces challenges in certain micro-markets, the aspirational and mid-premium categories in cities like Mumbai and Pune continue to witness sustained demand, especially in the ₹3.5 crore to ₹5 crore range. Rustomjee is expected to align its Pune strategy with this demand-supply dynamic. The group’s targeted expansion into Pune’s township space signals confidence in the city’s long-term growth trajectory and its readiness to diversify geographically while maintaining focus on quality, scale, and urban integration.

If successfully executed, Rustomjee’s Pune ventures could contribute significantly to the city’s housing stock and set new benchmarks in sustainable urban development, particularly if aligned with climate-resilient infrastructure and inclusive community planning.
