Speaking on the occasion, E Jayashree Kurup, Head-Content and Research at Magicbricks.com, said, “Pune has been a steadily performing market with in India with strong growth drivers like IT and manufacturing. It caters to end users across price brackets. It has yielded steady returns and has not been highly speculative.”
After the 2007-08 slowdown, the development in Pune has focused more on affordability aspect. There has been a lesser focus on luxury segment as most consumers cannot afford projects in this category. Development of industrial zones in peripheral areas of Pune will further drive the demand for smaller formats like 1 BHK segment in Rs 10 -15 Lakh budget category.
Further development of Pune requires fixing issues like environment, water shortage, illegal construction, slum clusters and waste management.
