Ravet saves ₹17,000/month on 2BHK rent compared to Baner — that's ₹204,000 per year. Over a typical 2-year rental tenure, that gap adds up to ₹408,000. Since Ravet also has competitive commute times, it is the stronger all-round value pick.
Ravet is in West Pune; Baner is in Central-West Pune — they serve different office clusters. Professionals working in the West belt will almost always find Ravet faster; those in the Central-West corridor should favour Baner.
Neither area has Pune Metro access, so both require cab, auto, or own vehicle for most commutes. PMPML buses (₹900/month unlimited pass) serve both areas but substantially extend travel time on peak-hour routes.
Ravet has the clear rent advantage — ₹17,000 cheaper per month for 2BHK.
