Pune: where nostalgia meets new skylines — and every NRI heart finds its compass back home.”
You know you’ve become a full-fledged NRI when your WhatsApp family group suddenly turns into a “real estate advisory panel.”Every cousin’s sending you links — “Bhai, Kharadi side dekh na, IT crowd ka area hai!”Someone else says, “Baner better hai re, more rental demand.”And you’re sitting in London, sipping your chai, wondering — “Main ghar loonga bhi, ya sirf Google Earth pe ghoomta rahunga?”
Buying property in India — especially in Pune — isn’t just an investment move. It’s an emotional return ticket. But between FDI rules, RERA forms, and builders’ brochures that look like wedding invitations, things can get… confusing.So here’s your one-stop, no-jargon, full-emotion NRI Guide to Buying Property in Pune (2025 Edition) — powered by SHP Realty.
The Homecoming Itch
Meet Rohit, an NRI software architect in Toronto. Every time he visits Pune, he takes a drive around Hinjawadi and Baner, trying to spot that one building that will someday be “home when he’s back.”But like every NRI, Rohit has two voices in his head — the heart saying “buy now,” and the Excel sheet saying “wait for a better ROI.”
This “homecoming itch” hits every NRI differently. Some buy for family security, others for rental income, and some — let’s be honest — just to feel connected to India again.And Pune? It’s the perfect middle ground — not too chaotic like Mumbai, not too laid-back like Goa. It’s that “balanced” cousin who does yoga in the morning but still parties on FC Road by night.
Why Pune Works for NRIs in 2025
Let’s break it down, yaar — without any sugarcoating.
1. Stability Over SpeculationPune’s property market doesn’t swing like crypto. Prices have grown steadily — 6–8% annually — driven by genuine end-user demand from IT and manufacturing professionals.
2. Global ConnectivityThe upcoming Pune International Airport at Purandar and expanding Metro corridors (Wakad–Shivajinagar, Hinjawadi–Civil Court) are making the city even more travel-friendly for NRIs.
3. Emerging Micro-Markets
Baner & Balewadi: Lifestyle and connectivity rolled into one.
Kharadi & Wagholi: Strong IT employment zones.
Ravet & Punawale: Affordable options with long-term appreciation.
Hinjawadi Phase III: A rental-yield hub with growing infrastructure.
4. Lower Entry Cost vs Metro GiantsPune still offers premium 2BHKs in prime areas for what you’d pay for a shoebox in Mumbai or Bangalore.
5. Strong Rental ReturnsAverage rental yields in 2025 stand between 3.5–5.5%, depending on locality and furnishing — with Hinjawadi and Kharadi leading the pack.

Understanding the Legal & Policy Landscape
Here’s the crisp version every NRI needs to know (and your CA will thank you later):
FEMA & RBI Rules: NRIs can buy any number of residential or commercial properties in India (except agricultural land, farmhouse, or plantation).
Payment Mode: All payments must be made via NRE/NRO accounts or inward remittances.
Power of Attorney (PoA): Assigning a trusted local person or relative makes documentation and possession easier.
RERA Assurance: Maharashtra RERA has tightened builder accountability, so always verify RERA registration before signing.
Tax Angle: Rental income is taxable in India, but DTAA (Double Tax Avoidance Agreement) ensures you’re not taxed twice.
Global inflation, repo rate cuts, and India’s stable GDP growth make 2025 a buyer’s year — especially for long-horizon NRI investors.
Turning Plans Into Possession
So, whether you’re in Dubai, London, or San Francisco — your Pune dream home doesn’t have to stay in your “Someday” folder.From luxury apartments in Baner to rental-yield-driven 2BHKs in Hinjawadi, Pune is evolving fast — and the right guide makes all the difference.

FAQs for NRI Buyers
1. Can NRIs buy property jointly with a resident Indian?Yes, as long as both parties comply with FEMA norms and payments are made via legal banking channels.

3. Can I take a home loan from an Indian bank as an NRI?Absolutely. Major banks like HDFC and SBI offer NRI-specific home loans with digital documentation and overseas processing.
4. What’s the average possession time for new projects?RERA-backed projects usually commit 36–42 months, but Pune’s faster construction cycles often deliver sooner.
5. Can SHP Realty help me manage my property post-purchase?Yes — SHP’s extended partner network can assist with leasing, tenant verification, and resale guidance.
