Codename District Studio, marketed as Smarto Tower, is a building of compact studio apartments in Pune. This guide sets out the nine studio types, their agreement values and totals, what the rates work out to, and the questions to answer before you consider one.
All figures come from the developer's cost sheet, which was valid until 30 October 2026; ask for the current version.
In short: studios range from 202 to 307 sq ft of carpet, at agreement values of ₹26.36 lakh to ₹40.06 lakh and totals of ₹28.78 lakh to ₹43.58 lakh, with GST at the 1% affordable-housing rate. The material we have gives no site address, MahaRERA number or possession date.

| Studio type | Carpet (sq ft) | Agreement value | Stamp duty | GST (1%) | Registration | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio 1 | 307 | ₹40,06,350 | ₹2,80,445 | ₹40,064 | ₹31,000 | ₹43,57,858 |

| Studio 3 | 295 | ₹38,49,750 | ₹2,69,483 | ₹38,498 | ₹31,000 | ₹41,88,730 |
| Studio 4 | 290 | ₹37,84,500 | ₹2,27,070 | ₹37,845 | ₹31,000 | ₹40,80,415 |
| Studio 5 | 282 | ₹36,80,100 | ₹2,57,607 | ₹36,801 | ₹31,000 | ₹40,05,508 |
| Studio 6 | 277 | ₹36,14,850 | ₹2,53,040 | ₹36,149 | ₹31,000 | ₹39,35,038 |
| Studio 7 | 270 | ₹35,23,550 | ₹2,46,645 | ₹35,235 | ₹31,000 | ₹38,36,380 |
| Studio 8 | 251 | ₹32,75,550 | ₹2,29,289 | ₹32,756 | ₹31,000 | ₹35,68,594 |
| Studio 9 | 202 | ₹26,36,100 | ₹1,84,527 | ₹26,361 | ₹31,000 | ₹28,77,988 |
Note that the stamp duty printed for Studio 4 (₹2,27,070) is lower than 7% of its agreement value would be (about ₹2,64,915); ask the developer to correct the sheet before you rely on it.
What the rates work out to
The agreement value works out to about ₹13,050 per sq ft for the 202 sq ft studio and about ₹13,000 to ₹13,050 for the 270 to 307 sq ft studios, by our calculation. That is a premium over typical rates for larger flats in Pune's western suburbs, which is normal for very small homes: you pay more per sq ft for a lower ticket size.
Who a studio like this suits
A 200 to 300 sq ft studio suits a single professional, a student, or an investor who wants a low entry price for rental income. For comparison, Blue Pearl's furnished, pre-leased studios in Baner rent to an operator at ₹18,000 a month to start; see our yield explainer and our comparison of two Baner studio projects.
What we do not know
- Location: the cost sheet and floor plan do not give the site address.
- Registration: no MahaRERA number is printed. Do not pay anything until you have it, and check it with our MahaRERA checklist.
- Possession: no date is given.
- Developer: confirm the promoter's name in the MahaRERA registration. The listing is filed under Nirman Greens and Tathawade on Pune Homes, pending confirmation.
The floor itself is explained in our floor plan guide, and the 1% GST rate in our GST explainer.
