With the two recently inaugurated Metro routes in Pune getting good public response, MahaMetro, the implementing agency for the Metro project, has now set a target of completing 33.2 kilometres of Phase-I by the end of December.
To begin with, it is targeting the stretch from Phugewadi to Shivajinagar.
Last Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated two stretches of Pune Metro rail routes – Garware college to Vanaz station (5 kilometres) and PCMC headquarters or Pimpri to Phugewadi (7 kilometres). Both the routes have five stations each.
The first phase includes a 15.7km-elevated stretch from Vanaz to Ramwadi having 16 stations, 11.4km-elevated route from the PCMC to Swargate with 14 stations, and a 6km-underground route. The entire stretch comprises 33 kilometres.
