The Indian Railways has unveiled ambitious plans for expanding Pune railway station, including the addition of four new platforms to accommodate growing passenger traffic and enhance operational efficiency. This development initiative aims to modernise Pune's railway infrastructure and improve connectivity across Maharashtra.

The proposed expansion project also includes provisions for enhancing amenities and passenger facilities at Pune station. This includes upgraded waiting areas, improved signage, and better accessibility features to cater to the needs of diverse travellers. Additionally, the plan entails the introduction of more express train stoppages at Pune station to facilitate smoother travel experiences for commuters.

The expansion comes in response to the increasing demand for railway services in Pune, a key hub in Maharashtra's transportation network. The new platforms are expected to reduce congestion and delays, especially during peak travel times. This initiative aligns with Indian Railways' broader strategy to modernise railway stations and improve overall service delivery.

According to railway officials, the proposed project will be executed in phases to minimise disruption to ongoing operations at Pune station. Detailed feasibility studies and consultations with stakeholders, including passengers and local authorities, are underway to finalise the expansion plans.

The expansion of Pune railway station is part of Indian Railways' efforts to enhance passenger comfort, streamline operations, and accommodate future growth in rail traffic.
