Velhe Taluka in the west, the
Pune taluka in the north and the
Pimpri-
Chinchwad Taluka in the south. The neighboring areas include
Hadapsar, IT Park in

Connectivity
Located in close proximity to the
Mumbai-
Pune Bypass,
Undri is around 7 kms from the
NH 9. It is well-connected with
Hadapsar, the eastern IT hotspot of
Pune, via the
Katraj-
Hadapsar Bypass Road. The
NIBM Road, which links with the Pervati Road, connects
Undri to the Cantonment area. Various local and interstate highways and expressways such as the
Mumbai Highway (NH 4) and the
Pune Highway (
NH 9) further boost the connectivity of this area. The
Pune Junction is approximately at a distance of 8 kms, while the airport is about 12 kms. It is also served extensively by PMPML-run buses and shared autos that regularly ply on the route. The
Katraj-
Kondhwa-
Phursungi-
Solapur Highway is undergoing the process of being widened up to 60- meter to improve the connectivity. The proposed 170- km long Ring Road Project is believed to ease traffic congestion on
Pune and
Pimpri-
Chinchwad roads.
Real estate
Until about five years ago,
Undri was mainly a forest land. But the last few years has witnessed immense real estate development in this part of the city. This rapidly-developing area has become a lucrative spot for residential property investment. The Ring Road, which is currently under-construction lies close by, and that is believed to bring about a rise in the property prices. The popular types of projects here include multi-storey apartments, villas, and row houses. Several big-ticket developers have launched major projects here.
