Best Pune localities for rental yield (2026)
For a rental investor, gross yield (annual rent ÷ price) matters as much as appreciation. In Pune, the highest yields sit in the affordable IT-spillover corridors, not the premium cores.
Indicative yields by locality (2026)
Rule of thumb: the more affordable and IT-adjacent the corridor, the higher the yield; the more premium/central, the more the case shifts to appreciation over cash-flow.
| Locality | Avg price/sqft | Gross yield | Driver |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wagholi | ~₹6,500 | ~5% | Affordable, Kharadi-IT spillover |
| Punawale | ~₹9,500 | ~3.5–4.5% | Hinjewadi access, affordable tickets |
| Marunji / Hinjewadi belt | ~₹8,500–10,000 | ~3.5–4.5% | Township + IT demand |
| Kharadi | ~₹10,700 | ~3.5–4% | Deep IT tenant base, premium |
| Baner | ~₹11,700 | ~3–3.5% | Established, premium |
| Sangamwadi (central) | ~₹20,000 | ~2.5–3% | Premium, appreciation-led |
The trade-off
High-yield corridors (Wagholi, Punawale) tend to be earlier-stage with more supply and infrastructure to mature, so do delivery and water-supply diligence. Premium corridors (Baner, Kharadi, central) offer steadier liquidity and appreciation but thinner yields.
