Pune: After the launch of the 12km Metro priority stretch on March 6, 2022, it was expected that the work on the remaining 21 km from Phase 1 will be completed at full tilt. However, even after one year of inauguration, the Pune Metro has not been extended.
Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the priority stretch of the Metro – Vanaz to Garware (5 km) and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to Phugewadi (7 km), people have been expecting the Metro to expand soon, but the process has stalled, and people are now waiting for the first phase to be completed.
By March 2023, the PCMC-Swargate corridor 1 with elevated and underground stations and the Vanaz-Ramwadi corridor 2 with fully elevated stations were expected to be completed.
