14 Aug 2024 CW Team

MahaMetro is advancing its efforts to expand Pune's metro network with plans to extend the existing corridors from Ramwadi to Wagholi and Vanaz to Chandani Chowk. These extensions aim to improve connectivity and address the growing transportation needs of Pune's rapidly expanding population.

The Ramwadi-Wagholi extension will serve as a crucial link between the city and its eastern suburbs, which have witnessed significant residential and commercial growth in recent years. By extending the metro line to Wagholi, MahaMetro aims to provide a seamless and efficient public transport option for residents, reducing dependency on private vehicles and easing traffic congestion on major roads.

Similarly, the Vanaz-Chandani Chowk extension is poised to benefit the western part of Pune. This corridor will enhance connectivity to key areas, including IT parks and educational institutions, offering a much-needed alternative to the congested roads. The extension is expected to cater to the daily commute of thousands of passengers, significantly reducing travel time and improving the overall public transport experience in the city.

MahaMetro's expansion plans are in line with Pune's broader vision to create a sustainable and efficient urban transport system. The proposed extensions are currently in the planning stages, with detailed project reports being prepared to assess feasibility, design, and implementation strategies. These projects are expected to be executed in phases, ensuring minimal disruption to existing services and infrastructure.

Once completed, the Ramwadi-Wagholi and Vanaz-Chandani Chowk extensions will further integrate Pune's metro network, providing comprehensive coverage across the city. This expansion is anticipated to boost the city's economic growth, support urban development, and enhance the quality of life for residents by offering a reliable and modern transit solution.
