Pune/Kharadi
East Pune's IT powerhouse, SEZ-backed, airport-proximate, and still growing.
Kharadi is Pune's eastern IT flagship, defined by the **EON Free Zone** (India's first IT & ITES Special Economic Zone) and a rapidly maturing ecosystem of business parks, residential developments, and premium amenities. Located just ~8 km from Pune International Airport and adjacent to the upscale residential catchments of Kalyani Nagar, Viman Nagar, and Koregaon Park, Kharadi offers a combination that few Pune micro-markets can match: SEZ-grade infrastructure, airport proximity, luxury residential adjacency, and some of Pune's largest floor plates.
