Pune Metro Speeds Up PCMC to Nigdi Route Construction
Pune is expanding its Metro system!
They're building a longer train line from PCMC to Nigdi and hope to finish it sooner than expected.
This new part of the line is about 4.4 kilometers long and will have three stations.
The Swargate to PCMC line is already working, and now they're extending it in two directions.
Another line from Vanaz to Ramwadi is also being expanded.
The goal is to help people get around the city faster and easier by using the metro.
Pune Metro is accelerating the completion of the PCMC to Nigdi extension, aiming to finish six months early.
Construction of the 4.413 km elevated stretch began in August last year and includes three stations.
The estimated cost for the PCMC to Nigdi route is Rs 1,048.22 crore, with a planned 30-month completion.
The 17.4 km Swargate to PCMC route is operational and being extended to Katraj and Nigdi.
Extensions to the Vanaz to Ramwadi route and a new Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar Metro line are also planned.
