Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis confirmed the December 2026 construction-start timeline for Purandar International Airport, and by early September the voluntary-consent deadline closed with 94% farmer consent reached, with no further extension. The remaining roughly 40 hectares (about 6% of the land needed) moves to compulsory acquisition. Compensation stood at about Rs 1.51 crore per acre, with over 60% of consenting farmers already paid and more than Rs 1,500 crore allocated.
After years of paperwork, Pune’s long-promised second airport is moving from land files to a committed construction start – the point where it starts becoming real.
For buyers, a functioning second airport would be a major long-term value driver for the Purandar belt and Pune’s southeast. The balanced note is that airports lift surrounding value gradually over years, and a small compulsory-acquisition tail remains to close out, so treat December as a milestone to confirm rather than a finished project.
