As many as 6,433 companies in Pune were shut down, dissolved or struck off the register over the past five years, according to data shared by the Union Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Across Maharashtra, the figure stands at 36,211 companies, with Mumbai recording 12,009 closures and Thane 4,704.
Industry representatives have pointed to poor infrastructure, rising operating costs, industrial waste management expenses and financial difficulties after the pandemic as some of the key challenges facing businesses. Some companies have also reportedly moved operations from Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad and Chakan to states such as Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, citing better incentives and operating conditions.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Rajabhau Waje, who raised the issue in Parliament, also highlighted that land belonging to closed units often remains unused due to pending loans and legal disputes. The Ministry did not provide specific data on the number of jobs lost due to these closures.

Pune has failed as a city.
And it genuinely hurts to type that as someone born and raised here who still owns houses here.
The traffic is pure, unending hell. Politicians and bureaucrats like @mohol_murlidhar@ChDadaPatil@navalMH@Dev_Fadnavis make beautiful promises, collect their cuts, and disappear. Coffers full. City empty of solutions.
@PuneCityPolice drop showbaazi videos of “catching criminals” for the algorithm. @PuneCityTraffic post fancy videos about how perfectly they handle the roads… while the actual roads look like a war zone every single day.
The RFD project is a catastrophe that’s actively worsening the urban heat island effect. Trees get felled at random and left rotting for weeks. There is no real public transport. Nothing serious is even planned. Just more roads, more digging, more flyovers - all of which do one thing: invite more cars and more chaos.
And the people. Native or migrant, doesn’t matter. Everyone drives like they own the entire street. Pure lunacy. Zero accountability. Never admit a mistake. Never improve. Never simply say “sorry” and move on.
I’ve seen lawless driving in this city since I was a kid in the passenger seat. It was never good. But at least back then people didn’t turn every small inconvenience into full-blown road rage.
These days just thinking about stepping outside takes a real mental toll.
Anyone else who lives here completely done with this place?
Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram stated that the ongoing deterioration of city roads is due to a combination of persistent rainfall, unrestored trenches dug by utility companies, and severe staff shortages. He explained that a significant portion of civic officers and employees has been deployed for SIR-related work over the past month, constraining the administration's ability to maintain and repair damaged roads across Pune. The shortage has worsened public frustration over potholes, traffic congestion, and commuting delays.

The poor state of #VimanNagar, which houses some of the world’s largest startups like Workday, Tesla, and Snowflake.
However, look at the conditions. It’s time that global companies stop investing in Pune unless the @PMCPune fixes the basics.
Otherwise, corporators and PMC commissioners will keep making money at the expense of people’s lives.
Dear @Tukaram_IndIAS Sir,
You made my day.
What a strong decision! Maharashtra has banned the manufacture and sale of non dairy or analogue paneer.
If found violating the rule:
- Up to 6 months in jail
- ₹1 lakh fine
I truly believe you should be the CEO of @fssaiindia. Not because you deserve FSSAI, but because FSSAI deserves you.
Pune traffic management is the worst. Tell me why whenever there is rain, the traffic signals goes off. Traffic police are not competent enough to handle the traffic manually. They also don't fine for traffic violators. Highly corrupt.

Hello @PuneCityTraffic , I want to understand why the traffic signals at Shastri Nagar chowk and Ritz Carlton chowk were off on some days? Due to that more traffic congestion happening. Traffic police are controlling inefficientlly. @SantoshPanditS3@Dev_Fadnavis@nitin_gadkari

@PuneCityTraffic Can you confirm if a fancy number plate is considered a violation or not? I reported a civil violation in MahaTrafficApp on 18th Aug with photo proof but it was rejected. Can you please confirm?
