PMC, MahaMetro hold review of DPR for Pune Metro Phase 2

The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (MahaMetro) has held a detailed presentation before the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) for Pune Metro’s Phase 2, which would cover 200 km length.

PMC commissioner Vikram Kumar, Atul Gadgil, Director of Pune Metro, P K Acharya, advisor, Pune Metro, Shrinivas Bonala, Chief Engineer-Projects, PMC, and Hemant Sonawane, Executive Director (PR) were present for the meeting.

Sonawane said, “Pune Metro recently submitted the draft detailed project report (DPR) for the second phase to the municipal corporation. Metro and PMC officials held the primary discussion on Monday and will go for site visits for proposed metro sites in the coming weeks.”

Metro authorities are planning to make a 33-km stretch in Phase 1 operational by the end of March next year. In the second phase, MahaMetro plans to expand the metro rail to additional routes, which also includes Neo Metro on the proposed 43-km High Capacity Mass Transit Route (HCMTR) in Pune and 31 km in Pimpri-Chinchwad.

In Maharashtra, Neo Metro was first proposed in Nashik, though the project has not moved ahead much even on paper.

Under the second phase, circular connectivity has been proposed for the metro route so that citizens can move in any locality by metro, officials said.
