New Delhi is quite far from Pune. There are number of flights from New Delhi to Pune However we advice that you should choose "Mumbai" as the embankment /destination as Pune is very near to Mumbai and one can easily travel by road with in 3 hours as detailed below

Travel from Mumbai to Pune:

There are very limited direct flight from Mumbai domestic airport to Pune.These flights are either in the morning or in the evening. Since most of the international flights reaches after midnight, domestic flight connection is not suitable unless you plan to stay overnight in a hotel in Mumbai. Hence we advise you to travel by the arranged shuttle bus or taxi.The participants who wish to avail a pick up facility from "Mumbai airport to Pune accommodation place"  a chargeable taxi can be arranged for them costing 80- 100 US $. Whereas those participants who will directly fly to Pune and wish to avail the pick up facility from Pune airport to their respective hotels a shuttle service free of cost can be arranged for them, however for both facilities  prior information with complete details of  flight Number, Timings, and  Date is required.
