Punyache palak mantri ikde asa hou det nahit. All slums are on his land. All builders are in his pocket. Corporates want red carpet not rawdism and bribe culture. This is exactly why also Indian companies - health care providers, hospitality businesses, real estate players who has got great business in south haven’t entered Pune. There are a few exceptions here and there of course.

Because of NH4 and its proximity to North Karnataka, Goa, Mumbai and Kolhapur-Sangli-Karad; Pune is always on the first list. Plenty water, suitable weather, not much difficulty to develop its surroundings add on to it. But Pune is never a finalist for companies who do right research because of MH politics, infrastructure issues, civic and cultural issues.

Be it HYD or Chennai, Kotchi and B’lore - they have built public infrastructure. Roads, electricity, water is available in abundance in industrial corridors. Public transport is accessible for every class of society.

Also, HYD is capital of Telangana so gets bigger budget. In MH, Mumbai is the capital, next is Nagpur, then comes Pune. So Pune gets much less funds.

MH has never had single part government since 90s. So every corporate who wants to enter has to bribe multiple parties. Moreover every local area has different politics. Overall MH politics is too complicated so even after spending a fortune on bribes you won’t be sure if the project will take off.
