Metro Rail News (Pune): Officials from the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) expect three coaches to arrive next week for the Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar corridor of the Pune Metro. These coaches, manufactured and tested in Chennai, have already been dispatched. Over the next eight months, an additional 16-22 coaches are likely to be delivered.
Following the arrival of the first batch, PMRDA will initiate testing and trial runs to uphold all the safety measures before commercial operations begin on Line 3. The entire Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar corridor is expected to be operational by April 2025.
Pune Metro Line 3: Expanding the City’s Reach
The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) is spearheading the development of Line 3. Covering a distance of 23.5 kilometres, Pune Metro Line 3 will be a crucial addition to the city’s public transportation network. This elevated line boasts 23 stations, strategically placed to connect key areas.
A Seamless Network
One of the most crucial aspects of Line 3 is its integration with the existing Pune Metro network. At the Shivajinagar station, Line 3 will connect with Lines 1 and 2. This integration will offer commuters a wider range of travel options and improved connectivity across Pune.
