Pune Metro Expansion: Two New Corridors Approved Under Phase 2
In a major boost to Pune’s urban transport network, Phase 2 of the Pune Metro received the green signal for two new feeder corridors:
- Hadapsar to Loni Kalbhor
- Hadapsar Bus Depot to Saswad Road
Approved under the chairmanship of CM Devendra Fadnavis on 4th November 2025, these expansions will extend the metro eastward, connecting suburban areas such as Hadapsar, Fursungi, Loni Kalbhor, and Saswad.
Key highlights of the Pune Metro Phase 2 expansion:
• These corridors will form part of the larger Khadakwasla–Swargate–Hadapsar–Kharadi Metro route.
• The 16 km stretch will be fully elevated, implemented by Maha-Metro.
• Estimated project cost: ₹5,704 crore.
• The Hadapsar–Saswad line will extend via tunnel to the upcoming Purandar Airport, featuring multi-level integration for metro, road, and parking.
• CM Fadnavis has instructed officials to expedite land acquisition for the Khadakwasla–Hadapsar–Swargate–Kharadi section to ensure timely execution.
This expansion aligns with Pune’s vision for a seamless and sustainable public transport system, connecting key residential, commercial, and industrial zones.
Other Ongoing Pune Metro Projects
The meeting also reviewed the timelines of other Pune Metro corridors currently under execution:
• Hinjawadi–Shivajinagar Line 3: Completion by March 2026
