East Pune rental trends: Kharadi and Wagholi, 2021–2026

East Pune includes several distinct rental markets. This report focuses on Kharadi and Wagholi because public sources publish repeated figures for them. It does not claim to represent every home in Hadapsar, Viman Nagar, Kalyani Nagar, Wadgaon Sheri or neighbouring areas.

Asking rent is what a portal or researcher records from listings. Registered rent comes from leave-and-licence records. Achieved rent is what a tenant and owner finally agree. These can differ, and building, furnishing and unit size can move an average even when no individual rent changes.

Magicbricks published average asking rents for Kharadi in its top-searched locality tables. Setting the Q2 2022 figure to 100 gives a transparent way to compare the later published checkpoints.

Important limitation: the Q2 2022 report specifies an unfurnished 900 sq ft 2 BHK; the later tables do not repeat the same unit definition. The series can therefore reflect a different listing mix as well as market movement. No directly comparable 2025 figure was found, so no 2025 value has been inserted.

A separate JLL comment reported by the Times of India in January 2025 put Kharadi rental growth at 35–40% over the preceding three years. That is different from the portal checkpoint change and illustrates why the source and method matter.

ANAROCK's comparison for a standard 1,000 sq ft 2 BHK placed Wagholi's average monthly rent at ₹14,200 at the end of 2021 and ₹23,500 at the end of 2024: a reported 65% increase over three years, not five annual observations.

The Q3 2026 range should not be averaged and attached to the earlier series. It is shown separately as the latest published quoted range reviewed for this article.

Sanghvi Valuers publishes privacy-safe summaries of Kharadi registered leave-and-licence records. Its residential table has small yearly samples: 33 records in 2021, 30 in 2022, nine in 2023 and 21 in 2024. The share with usable area information is smaller still.

Those medians are valuable evidence of registered transactions, but a small and changing property mix can produce sharp jumps. This article therefore does not splice them into the Magicbricks asking-rent index or present them as a continuous Kharadi market index.

• Renters: compare the exact building, carpet or built-up basis, furnishing, maintenance, deposit and lock-in—not only the headline rent.
• Owners: use several current comparable listings and recent agreements; do not apply a 65% area figure directly to your flat.
• Investors: calculate yield from achieved annual rent after vacancy, maintenance and other costs, not from an asking-rent index.

The latest public figures show that growth rates can slow even while rents remain higher than before. They do not establish a forecast for 2027.
