This project was initiated and conceived under the stewardship of Municipal Commissioner Mr. Kunal Kumar as a part of the Mission Smart City as a quick-win project and was launched by the Hon. Prime Minister of India Shri. Narendra Modi ji on 26 June 2016.

The project was coordinated by PSCDCL ( Smart Pune ) team. The project management consultant M/s. Pave-Tech Consultants supervised the site and was executed by M/s. Nikhil Constructions ( NIKHIL GROUP ).
The time to time support by the CEO of the Smart City, PSCDCL, Mr. Rajendra Jagtap was instrumental in completion of the first phase of the project.
The success of the project is also credited to a long term sustained research and support by organizations like Parisar ( Mr. Sujit Patwardhan and Mr. Ranjit Gadgil ), ITDP ( Ms. Shreya Gadepalli and Ms. Pranjali Deshpande Agashe ), Centre for Environment Education ( Ms. Sanskriti Menon ) and Pedestrian First ( Mr. Prashant Inamdar )

The project was fully backed and led by the local corporators without whose support the execution wouldn’t have been possible.

Bicycle sharing scheme a hit, moves into top gear in city.
--------------------------------------------
BICYCLE-SHARING schemes launched by private firms in central parts of the city in association with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) are proving popular among residents, mostly youngsters who are using them for short trips, exercising as well as out of novelty. Two firms - Bengaluru-headquartered Zoomcar (PEDL) and Chinese firm OFO -- have started cycle rental service in the city by deploying about 1200 cycles.
These cycles can be seen in areas like Aundh, Baner, Balewadi, Shivaji Nagar, Deccan, Pimple Saudagar and Pimple Nilakh. The cycles have also been deployed in educational institutes such as Savitribai Phule Pune University and College of Agriculture, Pune which have sprawling campuses.
