Discover Pune
Pune lies inland from Mumbai in Maharashtra. Its Deccan Plateau position creates a different landscape from the western port metropolis. Education, commerce and a distinct regional history contribute to its urban identity.

A city on the plateau
The higher inland setting and intervening mountain zone explain Pune's relationship with the coast. Its own metropolitan scale should not disappear within Mumbai's broader influence.
An independent regional centre
Educational institutions and economic activity shape contemporary life alongside older political and cultural importance in Maharashtra. Understanding these functions together gives Pune a separate identity: it is a substantial inland city connected with, but not simply an extension of, the coastal metropolis.
