History
Pimple Saudagar was earlier an underdeveloped area. Prior to its development, most of the inhabitants were poor peasants practicing agriculture and wood carving, deprived of basic public services. From the late 1990s, the area grew to catch up with the vast industrialization and expansion of the Pune city.[1] In 2001, the area was connected to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway by the Katraj–Dehu Road Bypass Road. The introduction of IT Park near Hinjewadi sparked a tremendous real estate growth in the region favored by IT professionals.[2]
Geography and Climate
Pimple Saudagar is located on a relatively flat land. The Pavana River cutting through the northern areas of the locality is the major source of water, however water shortage is being experienced in the recent years due to the expanding population and water usage.[3] The river also divides the area from Pimpri-Chinchwad. The suburbs bordering Pimple Saudagar are Hinjewadi to the west, Aundh to the south and Sangvi to the east. Pimple Saudagar has the same climate of Pune city.
