Pimple Saudagar(Marathi-पिंपळे सौदागर) is a suburb in Pune Metropolitan City within the limits of Pimpri-Chinchwad municipal corporation, an Urban Agglomeration of Pune, India. Situated 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from Hinjawadi and centered in between the suburbs of Baner and Aundh, the locality is a developing residential area that attracts the newer population of the city. Its proximity to the Rajiv Gandhi InfoTech Park located at Hinjewadi makes it a residential hub for people working in the Information Technology industry.

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.
