The Maharashtra government has recently entrusted Maha-Metro with the task of leading the Swargate to Loni Kalbhor and Saswad metro line extensions in Pune. This decision aims to streamline the metro development process and expand the project scope to benefit a larger population.
Key decisions and developments include the consolidation of metro line extension projects under Maha-Metro, following parallel proposals from both PMRDA and Maha-Metro. The state cabinet approved the decision on October 14, with the proposal now awaiting approval from the PMC before final sanction by the state government.
Under Maha-Metro’s leadership, several new metro routes will be developed, including Khadakwasla to Swargate, Swargate to Hadapsar, Hadapsar to Kharadi spur line, and Hadapsar to Loni Kalbhor extension. The Swargate to Loni Kalbhor line, in particular, is crucial for enhancing urban mobility in Pune, covering more areas than initially proposed by PMRDA.
Challenges include delays in progress due to the election code of conduct, but approval is expected to resume soon. The consolidation of metro projects under Maha-Metro simplifies execution and offers greater reach and accessibility to underserved areas.
Overall, the decision to assign Maha-Metro the Swargate to Loni Kalbhor and Saswad metro line projects is a significant move towards transforming Pune’s metro network and improving urban mobility for its residents.
