Pune - The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) plans to establish a minimum of five logistics hubs along the 172km Pune ring road as it connects eight national highways/expressways.

The agriculture and manufacturing sectors would greatly benefit from these logistics hubs, which will be situated along the expressways throughout the state. Most highways across the country incorporate multi-modal logistics parks in the hub and spoke model.

Currently, MSRDC has officially designated 18 locations on Samruddhi Mahamarg for logistics hubs, townships, and Krishi Samruddhi Kendras. Similarly, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority has notified nine townships along the multi-modal corridor. The Pune ring road will follow the same approach.
