Keolis Awarded Rs 10 Billion Contract to Operate Pune Metro Line 3

Pune IT City Metro Rail Ltd (PITCMRL), a joint venture between Tata and Siemens, has awarded a 10-year contract worth Rs 10 billion to Keolis. Under the agreement, Keolis will operate Pune Metro Line 3 for the next decade.
Pune Metro Line 3, also known as the Puneri Metro, is an under-construction corridor spanning 23.3 km from Hinjawadi to Civil Court and featuring 23 elevated stations.
For Keolis, this partnership represents a strategic opportunity to expand its international presence in India’s rapidly growing transport sector while providing expertise tailored to local requirements.
Keolis has been active in India since 2012 and currently operates the L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad, a subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro. The addition of Pune Metro Line 3 further strengthens the company’s position in the Indian mobility market.
The Line 3 project is being developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. In August 2025, following two successful trial runs, the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) unveiled the first look of the Pune Metro Line 3 trainset.
The first trial run was conducted in early July between Hinjawadi and Shivajinagar, followed by a second trial at the end of July on the 4 km stretch between Maan Depot and Station PMR04.
