On 12 July 2007, Maharashtra Chief Minister Sri [[Vilasrao Deshmukh]] proposed a ring road around city of Pune. The Pune District Guardian Minister proposed that the road be 120 meters wide with service roads.

On 16 January 2014, the [[Government of Maharashtra]] approved the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation's proposal for preparing a detailed project report.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://accommodationtimes.com/pune-ring-road-plan-by-msrdc-gets-approved-by-state-govt/|title=Pune Ring Road plan by MSRDC gets approved by state govt|date=17 January 2014}}</ref>

The government announced the formation of the authority on 2 April 2015.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/Pune-Metropolitan-Region-Development-Authority-formed-after-18-yr-wait/articleshow/46776425.cms|title=Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority: Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority formed after 18-yr wait |website=The Times of India|date=2 April 2015 }}</ref> The authority prioritizes [[Pune Metro|Metro]] and Ring Road works and promises to turn these plans into reality.
