Score breakdown — 5 pillars

Each pillar is an equal 20% weight of the overall LokaScore.

Environment

52

Below-average environment. NO₂ at 46 µg/m³ is elevated — a primary concern for residents with respiratory conditions or families with young children.

Infrastructure

61

Moderate infrastructure. Core services are in place but some gaps in road surface, bus connectivity, or power reliability.

Amenities

60

Limited amenities. Schools, hospitals, and commercial facilities are sparse within the standard 1km catchment.

Connectivity

66

Moderate connectivity. 36 min to central Pune is workable but not optimal for all IT corridors.

Safety

50

Moderate safety. Close to city average — no major industrial hazards; some commercial-zone FIR density.

Frequently asked questions about Akurdi

Is Akurdi a good place to live in PCMC?

Akurdi scores 57/100 (Gold tier) — a reasonable mid-range score for a PCMC area. Infrastructure (61) is above PCMC average. The main concern is air quality (NO₂: 46 µg/m³ — above NAAQS limit) from nearby industrial zones. Safety (50) is below city average. Connectivity (66) is adequate via highway and metro.

Beyond the neighbourhood

The area score is the starting point.
The project report is what actually matters.

Every real estate project in Pune and PCMC sits inside one of LokaScore's 500m cells — but two towers on the same street can have meaningfully different quality-of-life scores once you go project-specific. The full LokaScore project report scores 120+ signals that capture what the neighbourhood overview cannot: internal road access, setback distance from nullahs and drains, exact cell tower proximity, verified school catchment, construction quality signals, and more.

What the area score shows

The 500m × 500m grid cell your project sits in — environment, infrastructure, amenities, connectivity, and safety at neighbourhood scale. A useful baseline. Not the full picture.

What the project report adds

120+ project-specific signals: exact distances from hazards, verified amenity access from the project gate, construction activity penalty, nullah and drain setback, builder history, micro-flood risk, cell-level heat exposure, and a final project LokaScore — comparable across every development in the city.

How to get it

The full LokaScore project report is free for homebuyers. Builders pay for their report. If you are evaluating a project in Akurdi, you are entitled to see this report before signing anything.

If your builder won't share it

Every LokaScore project report is commissioned by the builder and shared with buyers at no cost. A developer who doesn't have one, or won't show it to you, has made a choice. Either their project hasn't been assessed — or the assessment isn't something they want you to see. In both cases, that's the answer. Ask directly: "What is your project's LokaScore report, and can I see it?"
