About This Route
The Pune to Nagpur MSRTC route spans approximately 693 km through the heartland of Maharashtra, connecting the cultural capital Pune with Nagpur — the political and commercial hub of Vidarbha, known as the 'Orange City' and home to the iconic Deekshabhoomi Buddhist pilgrimage site. Buses depart from New Shivaji Nagar Bus Stand in Pune and travel via NH-753F, passing through Ahilya Nagar, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Jalna, Khamgaon, Akola, and Amravati before reaching Nagpur — a route that cuts across the full width of Maharashtra. MSRTC operates 2 daily Ordinary Express services on this corridor, both running overnight and covering the journey in approximately 16 hours 50 minutes. This route is popular among government officials, business travellers, and those visiting the Nagpur High Court, Deekshabhoomi, or exploring the rich Vidarbha region.
