VTP Codename Never Before West
Key facts
Updated on
VTP Codename Never Before West is a pre-launch ultra-luxury villa project by VTP Realty in Mahalunge, Pune, marketed under the "Villas in the Sky" concept. It offers 3 BHK and 4 BHK villa configurations, with the 3 BHK PRIVÉ Villa priced from ₹3.45 Cr and the 4 BHK ARISTO Villa from ₹4.75 Cr as of May 2026. The developer is targeting possession in December 2028. The project is also searched as VTP Never Before Mahalunge.
About VTP Codename Never Before West
The project sits on a site of about 2.4 acres in the Blue Waters township belt of West Pune, close to the VTP Circle. Its central proposition is the villa as a vertical form: each residence is designed with a private lift, double-height living spaces, a lobby on every floor and a double entrance, with villas open on three sides. Current market data places the total inventory at around 136 homes. Because the project is still pre-launch, the tower and floor-level configuration is set out only in broad terms, and buyers should read the developer's floor plans closely before committing.
Key Highlights
- Villa configurations of 3 BHK and 4 BHK, with the PRIVÉ and ARISTO series each offering a standard and a larger "Max" version.
- Carpet areas from 1,835 sq ft for the 3 BHK PRIVÉ Villa to 2,531 sq ft for the 4 BHK ARISTO Villa Max.
- A private lift in every villa and double-height living rooms as the defining design feature.
- Villas open from three sides, with a whirlpool bath included in every villa.
- A construction-linked payment plan with a booking amount of 10% and bank financing of up to 90% of the price.
- Two car parking spaces per unit.
- A project site of roughly 2.4 acres, with a target possession date of December 2028.
Location Advantages
Mahalunge has moved from the fringe of Pune toward the centre of its western growth corridor, and the project benefits from that shift. The Mumbai–Pune Expressway and the Nande–Balewadi Road give direct access to central Pune, while Baner Road and the Mumbai highway (NH-48) run nearby. The Hinjewadi IT hub is reachable in roughly 5 to 10 minutes, which makes the location attractive to professionals working in that belt. Pune Airport is about 10 km away, Pune Railway Station about 15 km, and Hadapsar Industrial Estate about 11 km, with the airport and railway station each within roughly an hour's reach. Mumbai is around 4 hours away by road. The main caveat is traffic: the western corridor is congested at peak hours, and the road network is still being upgraded, so the commute from the project can vary considerably depending on the time of day.
What's Nearby: Schools, Hospitals and Malls
| Category | Name | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| School | Podar International School | 4.5 km |
| School | Global Indian International School | Within a 5-minute radius of the metro station |
| School | Mahindra International School | Close by |
| School | Symbiosis Institute of International Business | Close by |
For healthcare, residents in the area commonly use Ruby Hall Clinic and Sanjeevani Multispeciality Hospital. For shopping and everyday needs, Balewadi High Street, Westend Mall and a D Mart outlet serve the locality, and additional retail is planned within Mahalunge itself.
Amenities
- Fitness and sports: gymnasium, two tennis courts, a rubberised jogging track, a cycle track, a yoga lawn and a race track with go-karts.
- Water: a swimming pool and a wave pool with an outdoor café and DJ console area.
- Kids: a children's cycling track, a kids' play area and a separate toddlers' play area.
- Social: a multipurpose hall, an indoor games area with an accessory store, a senior citizens' area and an outdoor café.
- Pets and wellness: a pet park with a pet care area.
The developer's artistic impressions describe these as the core facilities. Clubhouse size and security specifications have not been published in detail.
Upcoming Infrastructure
- Pune Metro Line 3 (Hinjewadi–Shivajinagar, 23.2 km): the inauguration is scheduled for 3 November 2026, with commercial operations from 4 November 2026. Seventeen of the 23 stations open first, and the remaining stations are to follow in phases by January 2027.
- Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex metro station: serves Mahalunge on Line 3, opening alongside the corridor. For this project, it is the nearest rail-based link.
- PMRDA Ring Road: the alignment connects Mahalunge to Solapur Road, Nagar Road and the Mumbai highway, which will reduce dependence on the Expressway for many trips.
- Mahalunge–Maan Town Planning Scheme: a PMRDA scheme spanning nearly 620 acres, including an 18.8 km road grid.
- Planned high-tech park: a 618-acre high-tech park is planned in Mahalunge, which would bring employment closer to the project.
Price and Configuration
| Type | Carpet Area (sq.ft.) | Price (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| 3 BHK PRIVÉ Villa | 1,835 | From ₹3.45 Cr |
| 3 BHK PRIVÉ Villa Max | 2,045 | Price on request |
| 4 BHK ARISTO Villa | 2,453 | From ₹4.75 Cr |
| 4 BHK ARISTO Villa Max | 2,531 | Price on request |
The developer's site also refers to a 4.5 BHK layout in villa form. The price breakup is shared on request. The developer has not published a per-square-foot rate for this project, so the best comparison available is the locality. Current market data puts the average asking price for apartments in Mahalunge at about ₹12,200 per sq ft as of May 2026. That figure reflects apartments, not villas, so it understates what a villa of this type would command. Prices in the locality have roughly doubled over the past five years, which reflects demand and infrastructure spending but also means that entry costs have risen sharply.
Payment Plan
The project follows a construction-linked payment plan, with stage payments tied to construction progress. A booking amount of 10% of the price applies to the PRIVÉ and ARISTO villas, and bank financing of up to 90% of the price is available. Stage-wise percentages are shared at the time of booking. Any launch offers should be confirmed in writing before signing.
Specifications
| Element | Specification |
|---|---|
| Lifts | Private lift in every villa |
| Flooring | Marble floors |
| Living space | Double-height living rooms |
| Bathrooms | Whirlpool bath in every villa |
| Layout | Villas open from three sides; lobby on every floor; double entrance |
Launch and Possession Timeline
- Launch: the pre-launch listing shows a launch date of 1 May 2026.
- Possession: the developer's target is December 2028.
- Current stage: pre-launch, with bookings open under the developer's announced phase.
Investment Analysis
- Entry price: villas start at ₹3.45 Cr, against a locality average of about ₹12,200 per sq ft for apartments. Direct per-square-foot comparison is limited because villas carry a premium.
- Price history: locality prices have nearly doubled over five years, which supports the capital case but leaves less margin for a further run-up.
- Competing projects in the same budget: VTP Belair, Mahalunge, is ready to move at about ₹15,700 per sq ft since June 2025. Godrej River Royale, Mahalunge, is priced from ₹1.66 Cr to ₹8.00 Cr with possession in March 2029. Kohinoor Satori, Mahalunge, is priced from ₹1.60 Cr to ₹3.32 Cr with possession in December 2028. VTP Earth One is priced from ₹77 lakh to ₹4 Cr with possession in April 2029.
- Resale and rental: the villa format is less liquid than apartments, and the developer has not published rental yield data for this project.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Villa-format homes with a private lift and double-height living spaces, which are scarce in the area.
- Direct road access to the Expressway and Hinjewadi, with the Pune Metro Line 3 station due to open alongside the corridor.
- A developer with 23-plus projects and over 10 million sq ft delivered, including several in Pune.
- A broad amenity list covering sports, water, kids and pets.
Cons
- The project is still pre-launch, so the price, layout and approvals are subject to change until formal launch.
- Villas carry a significant premium, and the entry price of ₹3.45 Cr is well above the locality's apartment average.
- The metro link is scheduled rather than operating, and peak-hour road congestion on the western corridor is a real constraint.
- In its earlier projects, the developer has recorded phase-level delays of 6 to 12 months.
Who Should Buy This
Ideal for: families seeking a large, private villa with a lift in Pune's western corridor; senior professionals working in Hinjewadi who want a larger home than the apartment market offers; and buyers who value a construction-linked plan with high loan eligibility.
Not ideal for: buyers who need possession before 2028, short-term investors looking for quick resale liquidity, and anyone who cannot verify the registration documents before booking.
Home Loans and Charges
| Charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| Car parking | Two spaces per unit |
| GST (under construction, non-affordable) | 5% |
| GST (ready to move, OC received) | 0% |
| Registration (Maharashtra) | 1% of property value, capped at ₹30,000 for homes above ₹30 lakh |
