Its proximity to the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park located at Hinjawadi makes it a residential hub for people working in the information technology industry.

History edit

Pimple Saudagar was earlier an underdeveloped area. From the late 1990s, the area grew to catch up with the vast industrialization and expansion of the Pune city.[1] The introduction of the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjawadi in 2003 sparked a tremendous real estate growth in the region favored by IT professionals.[2] and it has become a golden crown of Pimpri-Chinchwad having high life standard.

Geography and climate edit

Pimple Saudagar is located on relatively flat land. The Pavana River cuts through the northern areas of the locality. The Pavana dam on the river is the major source of water for this area, however, water shortage has been experienced in recent years due to the expanding population and water usage.[3] The suburbs bordering Pimple Saudagar are Pimpri, Rahatani to the north, Wakad to the west, Pimple Nilakh to the south and Pimple Gurav, Sangvi to the east. The climate of Pimple Saudagar is almost identical to that of Pune as a whole.

Transportation edit

Pimple Saudagar is well connected to the rest of the city by public transportation. PMPML buses shuttle across the area frequently, connecting it with other areas of the city. Auto rickshaws are also available. Pimple Saudagar is traversed by the Nashik Phata road, connecting the area with Kasarvadi, a major road junction. The road continues west to connect the area with Wakad, leading to Hinjawadi.

The Rainbow BRTS bus system has been operational in Pimple Saudagar since November 2015.
