A PILfiled in the Bombay High Court challenges Pune's higher Floor Space Index (FSI) development rules, citing inadequate studies on infrastructure, environment, and liveability. The plea seeks a return to older planning norms until the city's carrying capacity is assessed, aiming to prevent the intensification of existing civic deficits such as water supply, sewage, waste management, and traffic.

The Maharashtra government has approved Rs 1.8 billion in funding for three Pune Metro expansion corridors: Swargate-Katraj, Vanaz-Chandni Chowk, and Ramwadi-Wagholi. This funding aims to improve connectivity across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has identified 15 critical traffic bottlenecks across Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and PMRDA jurisdictions. These locations, including Warje Bridge Chowk and stretches along NH-48, Ahmednagar Road, Pune-Satara Road, and Solapur Road, suffer from infrastructure deficiencies and local traffic congestion.
