Pune Metro

Operational Operator: Maha Metro / PMRDA Official site ↗

Pune Metro is delivered by Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha Metro) for its first two lines, with a third corridor built on a public-private partnership under the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority. The Purple and Aqua lines form an operational cross through the city, linking Pimpri-Chinchwad, the central city and the eastern suburbs.

The Line 3 Hinjawadi–Civil Court corridor, serving Pune’s major IT hub on a PPP basis, is the network’s most closely watched addition, while extensions of the Purple Line toward Nigdi and Katraj push the system further into the metropolitan region.

Why it matters

Pune shows how a single city can run parallel delivery models – a government SPV for two lines and a PPP concession for a third – within one integrated network. That hybrid makes it a useful comparison point for how India blends public and private financing in a mid-sized metro, and how the IT-corridor ridership case plays out on a privately financed line.
