The Pune Metro is changing more than the way people travel. It is creating new opportunities for real estate development along major transit corridors through Transit-Oriented Development (TOD).
TOD focuses on creating high-density, mixed-use and pedestrian-friendly development around metro stations. For landowners and developers, the biggest attraction is the potential for higher development potential and improved land utilisation, subject to applicable regulations.
What Makes TOD Zones Attractive?
THE TOD ADVANTAGE
Metro Connectivity
Higher Development Potential
Mixed-Use Development
Walkable Communities
Potential Land Value Growth
The approved Transit Oriented Development (TOD) areas offer eligible plots the chance to enjoy more FSI than is allowed in a conventional development area. Depending on road width, zoning regulations, premium, and other development control regulations.
For example, a strategically located plot near a notified metro station could potentially support significantly more built-up development than a similar plot outside the TOD influence area.
Where Is the Opportunity?
Major metro corridors and notified station areas across Pune are expected to become important locations for redevelopment and higher-density development. Areas with strong residential demand, commercial activity and metro connectivity could see increased interest from developers and investors.
However, the key opportunity is not simply being “near a metro station.” The plot must fall within the officially notified TOD influence zone and meet the applicable planning conditions.
IS YOUR LAND A TOD OPPORTUNITY?
Near a Metro Station
Within Official TOD Boundary?
Required Road Width Available?
Correct Zoning & Development Permissions?
Eligible for Higher Development Potential
Pune's metro-led growth could reshape how land is developed in the coming years. For landowners and developers, understanding TOD regulations early helps in finding opportunities.
