Though Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha-Metro) has submitted a draft detailed project report (DPR) for two corridors as the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) plans to cover all extension routes in a single DPR. The civic body will get a 20% contribution from the central government for the Metro project if all extensions are submitted in phase 2 DPR.

Srinivas Bonala, Head, PMC project department, said, “We have received DPR for two extension corridors. Clubbing all extension routes in a single DPR as part of the Pune Metro phase 2 project will help us get the maximum contribution from central and state governments. Last time, PMC approved the Swargate to Katraj route and received only 10% of central funds.”
