Hinjawadi IT Park: New Government Roadmap for Better Roads, Metro & Traffic

For years, Hinjawadi IT Park's daily traffic chaos has frustrated commuters and residents. Over **5 lakh professionals** navigate congested roads, potholes, and waterlogged streets. Now, fresh from the Vidhan Bhavan meeting on July 10, 2025, the government has unveiled a bold, refreshed plan to resolve these pain points—and it’s packed with clear deadlines and practical measures.

🚩 Key Context: Why This Plan Matters

• Massive daily traffic: With thousands commuting, the network was overstretched.
• Potholes & flooding: Monsoon rains submerged roads, causing delays and hazards.
• Lack of unified action: Local bodies, PMRDA, Metro, NHAI all worked in silos.

Citizens raised their voices—via local groups, social media, and MLA visits. They demanded timely solutions for a modern IT hub. The government listened—and has now responded with earnest steps.

🔧 Fresh Government Actions Announced

1. Unified “Single Point Authority” Launch

To eliminate departmental delays, a dedicated task force will coordinate infrastructure work city-wide—from roads to drainage to metro. This unified approach ensures quick decision-making and improved accountability.

2. Metro Operational by December 2025

The government has set a firm target: the Hinjawadi–Shivajinagar Metro Line must be operational before January 2026. With commissioning scheduled for December 2025, commuters will soon have a reliable, high-capacity public transit option.

3. Road Expansion & Underpass Projects

• Widen roads in Punawale, Tathawade, and near Bhumkar Chowk.
• Build a new six-lane bridge at Laxmi Chowk to ease bottlenecks.
• Speed up land acquisitions for DP roads to improve road coverage.

4. Specialist Team to Prevent Flooding

Heavy rain used to flood several parts of Hinjawadi. The government is now appointing a specialist drainage committee to map flood-prone areas, suggest road elevation fixes, install proper gullies, and ensure effective runoff.

5. Smart Traffic Systems & Monitoring

• New smart traffic lights to balance flow during peak times.
• CCTV and sensors in key locations like Laxmi Chowk and Tathawade.
• Dedicated traffic teams to enforce smooth movement during rush hours.

6. Enhanced Parking & Metro Integration

Parking spaces are vital near metro stations. Plans include secure parking lots and dedicated zones where commuters can leave vehicles safely before switching to buses or feeder taxis for last-mile connectivity.
