Pune Metro's Swargate-Katraj Extension Work Begins
The Pune Metro is starting to build a new underground route from Swargate to Katraj.
This 5.463 km long extension will have five new stations.
The work was delayed because they had to choose a contractor and get permission from the election commission.
The total cost is Rs 2,945 crore.
Right now, there are two other metro routes in Pune that are already working.
The government has also approved a second phase that will add another route from Khadakwasla to Kharadi.
Pune Metro's Swargate-Katraj extension work begins with the issuance of a work order to the contractor.
The 5.463 km underground stretch will include five stations: Market Yard, Padmavati, Bibwewadi, Balajinagar, and Katraj.
Work was delayed due to contractor selection and election commission permissions.
The extension is estimated to cost Rs 2,945 crore.
The Union Cabinet has approved the second phase of the Pune Metro, adding a new route from Khadakwasla to Kharadi.
