Thergaon is a settlement in the Indian state of Mahārāṣṭra. It is located near Pune, within the Pimpri-Chinchwad municipal corporation, and is a western suburb of the city of Pimpri-Chinchwad. Long back it was a rural village before the growth of the city included it in the metropolitan area.[1] Today the locality is a well developed one with many large projects having been constructed within its limits as well as having several shops and market, shopping malls, marriage halls, hotels, restaurants, hospitals and public parks.

Pudumjee Pulp and Paper Mills runs a large paper mill there.[2][3] The suburb has a municipal park called Bapujibuwa Park.[4][5] Laxmibai Barne Udyan is another big park in the area with children's playing area, a joggers track and also meditation center and amphitheater.[6] Shubhankar Heights from Shiv Constructions and Ivana from Lakshmi Properties are among the several big housing projects in the area. Among government run hospitals, there is a Thergaon Hosital run by PCMC in Thergaon [7]
