Challenges Faced by Hinjawadi IT Park

Hinjawadi IT Park, counted among India’s largest technology corridors with a workforce exceeding five lakh, continues to face serious infrastructure and civic challenges.

Despite being home to several multinational firms and a vital contributor to the state’s economy, the IT park and nearby villages struggle with inadequate basic amenities. The persistent lack of well-maintained roads, public transport, and coordinated civic services not only hampers daily commuting but also affects the quality of life for both employees and residents in the area.
