Bhakti Shakti stations on the Purple Line (Line 1) will serve as major interchange points. These stations, currently under construction, will act as the northern terminals of Pune Metro. Located along the Old Mumbai-Pune Highway, they are vital gateways to the PCMC industrial belt. This strategic connection will greatly enhance accessibility for the new Phase 2 corridor.
2) Sant Tukaram Nagar in Metro Line 1(Purple Line)
Sant Tukaram Nagar Metro Station on the Purple Line will function as a primary multimodal transit hub. Situated on the Old Mumbai-Pune Highway, it will seamlessly link intercity transport hubs, large industrial zones, densely populated residential areas, and academic institutions.
These smart integrations will deliver smooth last-mile connectivity, reduce travel time, and support efficient movement between industrial zones, transport hubs, residential colonies, and academic areas in the region.
Key Integration Point with Pink Line (Line 3)(Awaiting inaguration)
Wakad Chowk in Metro line 3 (Pink line)
Wakad Chowk is a key elevated station on Pune Metro Line 3 (Pink Line), providing direct connectivity between Hinjewadi and Civil Court.It serves as a major multimodal junction along the Mumbai-Bengaluru Highway (NH-48) and offers excellent access to Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjewadi.
This integration point will be strategically important for the new Bhakti Shakti–Wakad–Nashik Phata–Chakan Corridor, enabling seamless travel between the IT hub of Hinjewadi, industrial areas, and other parts of the city.
