Maha Metro to Float Tender for 11.63 km Ramwadi–Wagholi Metro Extension in Pune

30 Oct 2025 CW Team

Pune’s urban transit expansion is set to gain momentum as Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha Metro) prepares to issue a tender for the 11.63 km extension of Metro Line 2 from Ramwadi to Wagholi and further to Vitthalwadi. The proposed stretch will feature 11 stations aimed at improving last-mile connectivity and decongesting eastern Pune.

The corridor will include an integrated double-decker flyover—similar to the one on Karve Road—forming part of the Pune–Shirur Elevated Corridor Project. This innovative structure, jointly executed by Maha Metro and Maharashtra State Infrastructure Development Corporation (MSIDC), will combine a metro viaduct and a road flyover to optimise urban space and ease vehicular traffic.

Maha Metro has already floated the tender for the western extension from Vanaz to Chandni Chowk. Once both the eastern and western extensions are completed, Pune Metro Line 2 will cover a total of 28.45 km with 29 stations.

Additionally, a 580-metre-long foot-overbridge is being planned at Chandni Chowk to facilitate pedestrian movement across the Mumbai–Bengaluru highway and enhance commuter convenience as construction progresses on the Vanaz–Ramwadi route.
