Any person familiar with the Pune of old
will tell you that once the only two things associated with Chakan were Onion
market and edible oil, but not anymore. This quite little suburb to Pune is
fast becoming its manufacturing hub.
Maharashtra Industrial Development
Corporation (MIDC) started this spurt in the growth of Chakan by setting up a Special
Economic Zone there. Before anyone realised, household names in manufacturing,
big international players all had registered presence there; Volkswagen Group,
Daimler-Benz, Mahindra & Mahindra, Bharat Forge, Bajaj Auto to name a few.
Other than these biggies there are over 750 large and small companies,
including a number of automobile component manufacturers based in this area.
An area that attracts such big names and
such a plethora of medium and small firms, automatically barges into the
consciousness of every kind of service provider. How then can the construction
industry, always known for spotting trends early on, be left behind?
The last few years have seen a big spurt in
residential projects in Chakan of all types and sizes. These projects are
trying to cater to the imaginations and aspirations of the upwardly mobile and
ambitious youth who are actively spurring on growth in this industrial belt.
One very interesting project that has come
up here is 'Dwarka' by Naiknavare Developers. The most fascinating thing about
this project is that it takes inspiration to be ideal and futuristic from our
mythology. It has been designed inspired by the ideal city of Dwarka, built by
Lord Krishna for his subjects. Spread over 130 acres, this township has
different neighbourhoods and share common amenities. It has been built on the
Bharat Pattern of urban planning.
This project is a must explore for anyone who
wishes to see the richness of our mythology turn into a practical modern day
township.
