To accommodate migrated census, the expansion of Pune was on priority. However, the pace of population inflow and urban expansion were not at par, leaving Pune in the midst of hazardous traffic condition. To resolve the problem the idea of Pune Ring Road was brought in by the government.

Purpose of the Project:
