Later, in the 1960s, the area underwent a major redevelopment with the construction of new residential buildings and the opening of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) office in Koregaon Park.

It was during the 1980s that the area became a popular tourist destination with the opening of the Osho Ashram in Koregaon Park.
