Pune Metro: Swargate-Katraj Extension Work To Begin

Nearly four months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Pune Metro’s Swargate-Katraj extension, construction work is yet to commence. The Pune Metro authority is in the final stages of selecting an agency to undertake the project, which includes constructing 5.463 km of twin tunnels and four underground stations, according to Indian Express. Approved in 2021 at an estimated cost of Rs 29.45 billion, the Swargate-Katraj extension initially included three stations—Market Yard, Padmavati, and Katraj. However, following public demand, a fourth station at Balajinagar was recently added, with approval from the civic body. “The work of the underground Metro rail route and four stations from Swargate to Katraj will be executed by one agency. It will soon be finalized, and construction will begin at the site,” stated Hemant Sonawane, Executive Director of Pune Metro
