==History==
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 MSRDC'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>
