The Route: Pune to Nashik via NH60
Route Breakdown & Key Points
Pune (Start)
Depart from your location in Pune. Take the Nashik Phata flyover and merge onto NH60 (Pune-Nashik Road). Early morning departures (6-7 AM) avoid Pune city traffic.
Igatpuri - ~130 km (2 hours from Pune)
A scenic midway town in the Sahyadri ghats. The winding ghat section before Igatpuri is one of Maharashtra's most beautiful drives. Optional stop here for chai and scenic views. Vipassana Meditation Center is here if you want to detour.
Ghoti - ~165 km (2.5 hours from Pune)
Small town where Nashik district begins. A good fuel/snack stop if needed (though your EV does not need fuel). Route becomes flatter and faster from here onwards.
Nashik City (Destination) - 211 km
Arrive at your Nashik hotel or destination. Total journey time: 3-3.5 hours depending on traffic at Nashik entry. Driver will charge the EV at a local charging station while you attend to your plans.
Scenic Route Highlight: The Igatpuri Ghats
The ghat section between Khopoli and Igatpuri on NH60 is one of Maharashtra's most beautiful drives. The EV makes it even more special - no engine noise, just the sound of wind and the sight of mist-covered hills. If you are not in a rush, ask your driver to slow down through this section in the early morning when the valleys are still fogged.

Tip for Business Travelers
The Pune-Nashik journey takes 3-3.5 hours each way. Many executives use this time productively for calls, reviewing documents, or preparing presentations. The EV's silent cabin is far superior to a noisy diesel cab for making client calls. You arrive at Nashik meetings refreshed rather than fatigued.
Pune to Nashik: Electric Cab vs Bus vs Train
| Factor | Electric Cab | AC Bus | Train (Limited) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travel Time | 3-3.5 hours | 4-5 hours | 5-6 hours |
| Cost (group of 4) | ₹5,000 total (₹1,250/person) | ₹2,000 total (₹500/person) | ₹1,800 total (₹450/person) |
| Flexibility | Full - stop anywhere | None - fixed stops | None - limited trains |
| Door-to-Door | Yes | No (bus stand) | No (Nashik Road Station) |
| Frequency | Any time, 24/7 | Hourly (MSRTC + private) | Very limited trains |
| Best for | Groups, families, business | Budget solo travel | N/A (not recommended) |
Verdict: Electric Cab is the Clear Choice
For groups of 3+ people, the electric cab beats the bus on every meaningful factor - speed, comfort, flexibility, and often on total cost when you factor in local transport at both ends. The train is not a practical option given the extremely limited frequency and the additional cab ride required from Nashik Road Station (15 km from city) to your actual destination.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Pune to Nashik take by electric cab?
The Pune to Nashik electric cab journey takes 3 to 3.5 hours via NH60 under normal traffic conditions. Unlike the Mumbai route, there is no significant traffic on this highway except near Nashik city entry. There are no charging stops required - it is a direct non-stop drive.
Can the electric cab also take us to Shirdi from Nashik?
Yes. Shirdi is only 80 km from Nashik. After arriving in Nashik and spending time at Trimbakeshwar or Panchvati, the EV can charge at a Nashik charger and then take you to Shirdi. The complete Pune-Nashik-Shirdi-Pune round trip of approximately 480 km is within the BYD eMax 7's single-charge range. It is one of the most popular combined pilgrimage routes we serve.
What is the electric cab fare from Pune to Nashik?
The one-way fare ranges from ₹4,450 to ₹5,500 depending on the vehicle type. Kia Carens EV (5-seater) costs ₹4,450-5,000 and BYD eMax 7 (7-seater) costs ₹4,870-5,500. This includes the cab fare at ₹18-20 per km. Tolls (approximately ₹250) and driver allowance (₹400) are charged separately. There are no hidden fees.
Do you provide GST invoices for business trips to Nashik?
Yes. GreenEVCabs provides detailed GST invoices for all business trips. Share your company's GSTIN at the time of booking and we will issue a proper tax invoice that can be submitted for expense reimbursement. This is particularly useful for executives visiting the Nashik MIDC industrial zones regularly.
Is the ghat section on the Nashik highway safe for EVs?
Absolutely. The ghat section of NH60 near Igatpuri is safe and well-maintained year-round except during very heavy monsoon days. Electric vehicles handle ghat roads very well - regenerative braking means the EV actually recovers some charge on the downhill sections. Our drivers are trained on ghat driving and take extra precautions during monsoon season.
