The introduction of this train marks a significant milestone in Pune's urban transport landscape, managed by Pune IT City Metro Rail Ltd (PITCMRL) in collaboration with the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA). Crafted at Alstom's Sri City facility in Andhra Pradesh, these state-of-the-art trains, part of a contract for 22 train sets, will revolutionise travel along the 23km Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar corridor, operating on a public-private partnership (PPP) model. Each train, with a capacity to accommodate 1,000 passengers, promises enhanced urban mobility for Pune residents. Spearheaded by Tata Group and PMRDA, the project aims to elevate Pune's metro system to international standards, with a focus on safety, reliability, and environmental sustainability. Featuring cutting-edge technology such as a third rail traction system and regenerative braking, these trains can achieve speeds of up to 85kmph, ensuring a smooth and eco-friendly commute. Neha Pandit, Director and Business Head, Pune IT City Metro Rail Ltd, emphasises the project's commitment to passenger comfort and convenience. With vibrant designs, spacious interiors, and advanced passenger information systems, the trains are tailored to provide an exceptional travel experience. This collaborative effort between the public and private sectors sets a benchmark for metro systems nationwide, embodying the spirit of innovation and progress. As work progresses steadily, Rahul Mahiwal, PMRDA Commissioner assures that the project remains on schedule, with plans to dispatch the remaining trains over the next 6-8 months. Pune Metro Line 3, spanning 23km from Hinjawadi to Shivajinagar, represents a significant leap forward in Pune's transportation infrastructure, promising to reshape urban mobility and drive the city's overall development trajectory.
