Hadapsar
Hadapsar is a suburb situated in the eastern part of Pune, Maharashtra, India, recognized as a rapidly expanding residential, commercial, and industrial locality.[1] Since the 1990s, it has transformed from agricultural land into a prominent hub for information technology parks and corporate offices, driven by strategic infrastructure development and private initiatives.[2] A defining feature is Magarpatta City, an integrated township spanning over 450 acres, established through the innovative model of local farmers pooling their land rather than selling it to developers, which has fostered self-sustained economic growth and employment in the IT sector.[3][4] The area benefits from robust connectivity via major roads, railway stations, and a proposed metro line, alongside amenities including educational institutions, hospitals such as Noble Hospital, and shopping centers like Amanora Mall, making it a preferred destination for professionals and investors.[5][6]
