- Underground Route Construction: A single agency has been chosen to construct the underground route and four stations between Swargate and Katraj for the Pune Metro project. This high-tech endeavor will utilize a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) to expedite the construction process once it kicks off.
- Fully Operational Phase: The Pune Metro’s first phase, which includes the Vanaz-Ramwadi and Pimpri Chinchwad-Swargate routes, is now up and running smoothly. The recent opening of the underground section from Shivajinagar to Swargate in September 2024 showcases the Metro’s adaptability to bustling urban environments.
- Ongoing Extension Work: Progress is being made on the elevated Pimpri Chinchwad-Nigdi extension, adding to the expanding Pune Metro network. Plans for the second phase, connecting Khadakwasla to Kharadi via Swargate and Hadapsar, are in the works pending approval. This phase will also integrate with the existing network at SNDT College Station.
- Optimism Amid Delays: Despite facing some setbacks, officials remain positive about ramping up construction efforts once the contractor is officially secured. The future of Pune Metro looks bright with continued development and expansion on the horizon.
