PMPML Route 163: Connecting Central Pune to the Kharadi Educational & IT Hub

Route 163 is a vital transit corridor connecting the geographical heart of Pune (Sasoon Hospital and Pune Station) directly to the rapidly expanding eastern corridor of Kharadi. This route caters heavily to students attending Dhole Patil College as well as IT professionals commuting to the World Trade Center (WTC) and EON IT Park.

Traffic Hotspots & Commute Times

Expect significant traffic bottlenecks around the Yerwada and Gunjan Corner zones, particularly during the morning rush (8:45 AM – 10:30 AM). Additionally, the stretch between Kharadi Bypass and EON IT Park can experience heavy slow-downs during the evening peak hours (5:30 PM – 8:00 PM). Commuters should allocate an extra 15-20 minutes of travel time during these periods.
