Maha-Metro to build new station at Tilaknagar

The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro) has decided to build a new station on the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to Nigdi extended route. The addition of Tilaknagar will take the total stations on the stretch to four.

Atul Gadgil, director (works), Maha-Metro said, ?We have floated a tender for new station.?

The detailed project report (DPR) prepared by Maha-Metro and approved by the municipal corporation and the state government initially proposed three stations ? Chinchwad Station Chowk, Khandoba Mal Chowk in Akurdi, and Bhakti-Shakti Group Shilp Chowk in Nigdi. The Centre okayed the extended route on October 23, 2023, allocating a budget of ?910.18 crore. Subsequently, Maha-Metro released a tender for the viaduct on December 16, 2023, specifying four stations, including Tilak Chowk in Nigdi, instead of the initially planned three.

The distance between Bhakti-Shakti Group Shilp Chowk and Khandoba Mal in Akurdi, measuring 2 km, necessitated authorities the need for a station at Tilak Chowk. The addition will eliminate the need for citizens to rely on rickshaws, buses, or private vehicles to access the metro station.
